Passing Arguments to the Function

jsulm

@najlou Please post the whole error you get.
Also, as @JonB already wrote: other threads are not allowed to change UI elements. So, why do you want to pass the label to the thread?

najlou

@jsulm because I will need to use the QLabel, which I can't figure out if I delete for example "this-> cameraAva" or "this-> CameraImageCaptureAva" there is no more this error I think we are limited by a number of variables but is there a solution please ?
error : no matching function for call to 'run'

In what way do you need to use it? Do you want to get its text (then simply pass the text instead of whole QLabel), or do you want to change it? If you want to change it then, as already said two times, you are not allowed to do so in other threads than GUI thread!

najlou

@jsulm but why when I add the QLabel and delete for example "this-> cameraAva" or "this-> CameraImageCaptureAva" there is no more error

jsulm

@najlou I don't know, you did not post WHOLE error yet...

najlou

@jsulm it's just : no matching function for call to 'run' when I exceed 6 variables

jsulm

@najlou Please open "Compile Output" tab in QtCreator and check whether the error message provides more information there.

Yes, it looks like you can't pass more than 5 parameters. If you really need more than 5 parameters you can define a struct where you put all these parameters and then pass this struct as parameter.

@jsulm
I note from https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/concurrent/qtconcurrentrun.h.html that there are explicit template definitions going up to 5 parameters. I don't know (can't figure) what happens if you pass 6 or more parameters?

@najlou
To prove, try the following. Don't try to run the code, it's just to see whether or not it gets through the compiler!

QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(hand,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5);

That compiles, right?
Now try:

QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(hand,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7);

What about this one?
