[Solved] About QCoreApplication::flush ()

[CAD_coding]

Hi,
I wanted to know what QCoreApplication::flush () does?
When is it used & why?
An example would be really helpful to understand.
I am using a GUI QApplication, so is that of any help to me?
Thank You,

Why didn't you read the documentation for "flush":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qcoreapplication.html#flush ?

[CAD_coding]

I read, but I could not understand what was written.
That is why asked.

[b1gsnak3]

It is used when you want to flush a queue of events to be called immediately. Splash screen is the best example.

What exactly do you mean by "flush"?
From what I can understand it is something similar to processEvents() right?
If yes then what is the difference?

[b1gsnak3]

Yes. Only that flush does this for all pending events at once while processEvents handles them one by one

[CAD_coding]

ok. Thanks for the answer.

What it really does is, it calls qApp->sendPostedEvents(), see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-33489
