I have some problem when using lamdba with QTimer :: singleshot!
-
I write a photography program and I use QSingleshot as a timer for the snapshot!
My code:QTimer::singleShot(2000,[&painter,this]{readyToTakeOneImage(painter);});
or
QTimer::singleShot(2000,[&,this]{readyToTakeOneImage(painter);});When I run the program in use with QPainter,it shows errors:
QPainter::font: Painter not active
QPainter::setFont: Painter not active
QPainter::setPen: Painter not activealthough i used reference in expression lamdba but it seems in function lambda was unable to reference the QPainter parameter!
Here is the complete code of the functions:
*if(flagToTake)
{
QTimer::singleShot(2000,[&painter,this]{readyToTakeOneImage(painter);});
}void photoWidget::readyToTakeOneImage(QPainter& painter)
{
const QRect rectTarget(0, 0, 640, 480);
flagToDisplay=false;
flagToDisplayMupt=false;
QFont font = painter.font();
font.setPixelSize(150);
font.setStyle(QFont::StyleOblique);
painter.setFont(font);
painter.setPen(Qt::yellow);QPointF top=QPointF(rectTarget.width()/2-70,rectTarget.height()/2); painter.drawText(top,QString::number(numberChanged-1)); if(numberChanged==1) { timeforNumber->stop(); timeforTake->start(); painter.fillRect(rectTarget,QColor(255,255,255,numberChanged)); connect(this,&photoWidget::takeSignal,this,&photoWidget::takeSlot); flagToTake=false; }
}*
Hope you help me with the problem I am having,thank you for your help!!

Please show us the relevant part of your code, where you set the QPaintDevice, either via a call to begin or the creation of QPainter,
That's where the issue should be

yes,this is about all of my code is having problems.thank you so much!

@DBot well I expected as much,
You have the paintEvent overwritten, which is fine and common practice.
However, the QPainter for the widget that you create in there is only valid as long as the paintEvent function is being called.
You're not supposed to break out of that call stack via a QTimer and in the connected slot/or lambda to access the QPainter.
Do all QPainter operations, that have your QWidget as target, inside the paintEvent and you should be fine.
