step 1 does seem to be the right answer for me but the problem is that the function being called is continuously running in a loop.

this is what im calling from my thread class

emit addToTable(header,pkt_data);

pkt_data being the actual packet data. Now i need this parameter in order to call anything else that i need to add in the tree view. So far this function is only adding to the table view.

How would be able to add items to the tree view using pkt_data?
