Howto connect QObject set as a QML contextProperty in a separate thread ?

pingal

I've a QObject which updates values on a QML interface. In order to avoid GUI freezes I've moved the object to another thread i.e.

ClientListWrapper *clients = new ClientListWrapper;
QThread *ClientListWrapper_thread = new QThread();
clients->moveToThread(ClientListWrapper_thread);
ClientListWrapper_thread->start();
Engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("clients", clients);

I'm using 'clients' as a model in my QML so the values on the interface are updated by the 'clients' object. But now QML doesn't recognize 'clients' because it is in a separate thread.

How should I approach this problem ?
