Background process execution in Qt

[locke]

Hi, QtConcurrentRun sounds very good, but I try:

I call the function below from a method of the class MainWindow, so the object I provide in the fucntion si the "this" pointer.

//original function is: bool MainWindow::myFunction(QString s);  
 
QString dir = "Example";
 
 QFuture<bool> future = QtConcurrent::run(this, &MainWindow::myFunction, dir);
 
bool result = future.result();

//original function is: bool MainWindow::myFunction(QString s);  

QString dir = "Example";

 QFuture<bool> future = QtConcurrent::run(this, &MainWindow::myFunction, dir);

bool result = future.result();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But it locks the program, and I need to finish it. Any idea??

Thanks
