OnPressAndHold emit signal every 'n' ms?

[lunatic]

following problem, imagine an user would press a button for a few seconds to fast-forward the current song.
how could I solve this problem?

if the user presses the button, the signal is only emitted once.

any suggestions?

Why not to use pair of onPressed and onReleased?

Start repeating timer and stop the timer if the button release event occurs.

Just to better understand: do you want to have a kind of key repetation feature (eg. emitting signal in every half seconds if the user holds the key pressed)?

[baysmith]

onPressAndHold is a MouseArea event not a key event

wow, in 7 minutes 4 replies. nice :P

I'm sorry, with button I meant a custom widget.

so the timer suggestion is a nice idea. are there any other ideas ?
if not, thanks Bradley!

I know, I just wanted to catch the idea behind with a kind of synonim.

Take a look at the example in examples/declarative/modelviews/listview/dynamic.qml (also online at http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/declarative-modelviews-listview-dynamiclist-qml.html). The example uses a "PressAndHold" button (defined in a subdirectory, content/PressAndHold.qml) that emits clicked() multiple times when the mouse button is held down.
