Change position according to QCheckBox State

[champ]

Hi

I want to change the position of an object on the map if according to the state of the Qcheckbox i.e. till the Qcheckbox is in checked state the position of the object would be altered and stop when QCheckbox is unchecked ?

How can i achieve this ? Is there any inbuilt function or if a timer is needed to be used ?

I am using Qt 4.6 on Kubuntu 10.04.

Thanks

It's all in the documentation.

Thanks. But it only works when the state changes. i want to perform the task till it is in checked state.

Then, yes, you need a loop or timer

thanks. would setting autoRepeat Property of QCheckBox to true (through Qt Designer) and passing clicked(bool) signal to the desired method is equivalent to having a timer or a loop ?

It might be. To me this looks like a bad choice though.

I guess I would choose the timer. Use the checkbox state to start or stop the timer. Then use the timer event to update the position
