Arguments in connect with lambda expression

[ivanicy]

Hello!!

I am trying to stop a thread after a while with a QTimer::timeout(). This is my function:

void Class::myFunction {
	QTimer *timer = new QTimer();
	MyThread *myThread = new MyThread();
	myThread->start();
	timer->start(30000);
	connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout(), [myThread]() {myThread->stop();} );
}

Is there any possibility to do it in that connect?

Thank you very much!!

@ivanicy said in Arguments in connect with lambda expression:

&QTimer::timeout()

This is wrong, you want the pointer to a function, not the pointer of the result of a function
-->

&QTimer::timeout

See https://wiki.qt.io/New_Signal_Slot_Syntax

Oh, what a silly mistake! Thank you very much!
