How to send custom events from QThread:: run () to application.

[kuzulis]

Hello.

I have a need to send a custom event from a thread into the application, but I have nothing.

I do so:

1. My custom event:

class CustomEvent : public QEvent
{
public:
    CustomEvent ()
        : QEvent((QEvent::Type)(QEvent::User + 1)) {}
...
...
}

class CustomEvent : public QEvent
{
public:
    CustomEvent ()
        : QEvent((QEvent::Type)(QEvent::User + 1)) {}
...
...
}

2. My implementation of a class QThread:

void MyThread::run()
{
    while (!stopped) {
        //Processing.
        ...
        ...
 
       //For some conditions, generates an event.
 
       CustomEvent *e = new CustomEvent ();
       QCoreApplication::postEvent(qApp, e);
 
        //Processing.
        ...
        ...
    }
}

void MyThread::run()
{
    while (!stopped) {
        //Processing.
        ...
        ...

       //For some conditions, generates an event.

       CustomEvent *e = new CustomEvent ();
       QCoreApplication::postEvent(qApp, e);

        //Processing.
        ...
        ...
    }
}

3. My main (and only) widget application:

void TestWidget::customEvent(QEvent *e)
{
    if (e->type() == (QEvent::User + 1)) {
 
        qDebug() << "TestWidget::customEvent() caught";
    }
}

void TestWidget::customEvent(QEvent *e)
{
    if (e->type() == (QEvent::User + 1)) {

        qDebug() << "TestWidget::customEvent() caught";
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But I have a message "caught" is displayed. What am I doing wrong?

PS: I tried to override the same method "eventFilter()", as well as install "installEventFilter(qApp)" but nothing happens. Help please.

Oops, sorry problem solved.

Instead

myWidget->installEventFilter(qApp)

myWidget->installEventFilter(qApp)

need

qApp->installEventFilter(myWidget)

qApp->installEventFilter(myWidget)
