Can you create and use a QTimer in a non-gui thread?
The Trolltech documentation (at one point) seems to suggest that you shouldn't:
"Any operations that generate events must not be called by any thread other than the GUI thread. Examples of such operations are: creating a QWidget, QTimer,..."
Is that right?
I'm running a QTimer in my non-gui thread, which allows me to control the speed at which I'm processing my simulation data. Every timer click I do a bit more processing and then use a postEvent() to send the data across to the gui thread.
Am I wrong to do this? It seems to work fine on my machine, but I don't want it to break mysteriously in the future...!
Yours confusedly, Solly
