SOLVED::correct way to call a Mainwindow:: function() using QtConcurrent::run

[alok9871]

Hello

I need to run a MainWindow::function() using QtConcurrent run. I use the following code :

QFuture<void> newfuture = QtConcurrent::run(MainWindow::function);

I get the following error :

..\checkthread\mainwindow.cpp(12) : error C3867: 'MainWindow::newthread': function call missing argument list; use '&MainWindow::newthread' to create a pointer to member

Can you tell me the right way to call this function using QtConcurrent

[ChrisW67]

Member functions need to be passed their implied "this" pointer argument. QtConcurrent::run() has an option for this that is described, with examples, in the documentation under "Using Member Functions"

Thanks You Very Much!!!
Problem Solved

It should be :

QFuture<void> newfuture = QtConcurrent::run(this,&MainWindow::function);
