You cannot have any part of the GUI running in a thread other than the main thread. That doesn't prevent you from starting worker threads that do the logging and that there is communication between the worker thread and the dialog, using events, queued connections or any other form of thread safe communcation you prefer. best regards, Gunnar _______________________________________________ Qt-jambi-interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-jambi-interest
