Help with VoidRealms "Threading done correctly"

You cannot access the user interface from a worker thread.

Right, I remember that; Give me a half an hour, and I'll try to restructure the application above that the main is setup to receive a signal from the worker.

[wysota]

Just remember that using threads "just because you can" is usually a bad idea. Think if you really benefit from having threads in your program in any way.

I believe I figured out what I needed to do.

I made a new class, and just added a parameter to my connections which takes the ui object created in main.cpp

Without going too much into it, here is a snippet from my worker class source

void example::THREAD_example(QThread &cThread, MainWindow &w)
{
	connect(&cThread,SIGNAL(started()),&w,SLOT(METHOD_example()));
}

void example::THREAD_example(QThread &cThread, MainWindow &w)
{
	connect(&cThread,SIGNAL(started()),&w,SLOT(METHOD_example()));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

METHOD_example() is a public slot in the main thread, which takes signals from my worker class, blah blah blah

anyways, thanks :P

Your original code was almost correct. You can make it work properly by just removing this line

cObject.moveToThread(&cThread);

cObject.moveToThread(&cThread);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But since the thread is not doing anything it is not very useful
