immediate update of QT object

[db]

I have some code that updates the color portion of a radiobutton and a few lines later updates the text. I put calls to update and repaint (e.g rb->repaint) after each object update. the color updates but is takes a while for the text to update.

How to I perform an immediate refresh on my object ao that there isn't a delay in the display.

I am not sure without seeing any code.
Does something happens in those few intermediary lines of code?

Call rb->update() only once, after setting the text color. Do them both in one step.
Calling repaint causes an update to be immediately executed, so there might have been a problem calling it twice.
Do it with update. It will schedule a paintEvent.

I figured out what the problem was. I had to follow the radiobutton->repaint() with a widget repaint(). The button was in a frame on the widget. I guess I had to force the top level object to repaint to get the update before the next update event.

Thanks again

You shouldn't need to do it. You must have something wrong in your code. And use update() instead of repaint(). It might be that you're blocking the event loop.
