Problems with QThread

[nuke]

Hi
i am trying to use QThread. I use simple code in constructor of my class.
metod blink is declared as public slot in header file.

Error:
/opt/qt5pi/include/QtCore/qthread.h:120: error: ‘int QThread::exec()’ is protected
int exec();

QThread *threadBlink = new QThread(this);
 connect(this->threadBlink, SIGNAL(started()), this, SLOT(blink()));
threadBlink->exec();

Thanks for help

@nuke
the error message have said that QThread::exec() is a protected member of QThread

if you want to start a thread use QThread::start

read the documentation for some example

@nuke
threadBlink = new QThread();
threadBlink->start();
connect(threadBlink, SIGNAL(started()), this, SLOT(blink()));

It would be good if threadBlink = new QThread (); Announced constructor.

Try it and if any problem write here.

Thanks for help it really works.
But i found another problem when strat the QThread the program does not work as i want it waits until the thread finishes. In method blink is infinite loop for blinking LED i thought it should work separatly from the main program.

@nuke
Did you read example from Doc?
Do you have
Worker *worker = new Worker;
worker->moveToThread(&workerThread);

Thanks a lot for help. No i dont use worker i wanted to implement just infinite loop in separate thread not to implement whole class worker. At the end i used pthread and it works just fine.

Thanks for help
