How to stop a QTimer::singleShot

[luca]

Hi all,
in my application I sometimes start a QTimer::singleShot but in some situation I need to stop it before it trigger.

Is it possibile to stop it?

I start it with:
@
QTimer::singleShot(360000, this, SLOT(mySlot()));

As long as you keep a reference to the timer, you can stop it. If you used the static function to trigger the single shot, you're out of luck (well, I guess you could come up with a hack, but please don't).

Sorry, I misread singleShot with setSingleShot :-(

In this case you'll have to stick to the solutions Andre mentioned.

If you change that to something like:

@
m_myLongTimer = new QTimer(this);
m_myLongTimer->setInterval(360000);
m_myLongTimer->setSingleShot(true);
connect(m_myLongTimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), SLOT(myslot()));
m_myLongTimer->start();
@

You can use this to stop again:
@
m_myLongTimer->stop();
@

Edit: added connect call to sample code

So it should be better to use a QTimer, set it with:
@
setSingleShot();

thanks.
