    Hi, everyone.

    I am trying to play camera by using QLabel and its setPixmap.
    When I tested it using my notebook's camera and found no problem.
    But when I use a mono camera (Point Grey's Flea3 GigE camera).it will lead to serious flickering.
    I searched a lot over internet.
    It seems that using double-buffer method can remove flickering. But in Qt 4, the widget is said to use double buffer in default.
    So I wonder what can I do . I don't want to turn to openGL( I am not familiar with it).
    The code is from open source project" qt-opencv-multithreaded ":http://code.google.com/p/qt-opencv-multithreaded/
    I use its FrameLabel (inherited from QLabel) calss.
    @
    #ifndef FRAMELABEL_H
    #define FRAMELABEL_H

    #include "Structures.h"

    // Qt header files
    #include <QtGui>

    class FrameLabel : public QLabel
    {
    Q_OBJECT

    public:
    FrameLabel(QWidget *parent = 0);
    void setMouseCursorPos(QPoint);
    QPoint getMouseCursorPos();
    private:
    MouseData mouseData;
    QPoint startPoint;
    QPoint mouseCursorPos;
    bool drawBox;
    bool drawGrid;
    QRect *box;

    protected:
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *ev);
    void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *ev);
    void mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *ev);
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *ev);
    signals:
    void newMouseData(struct MouseData mouseData);
    void onMouseMoveEvent();
    };

    drawBox=false;
    // Save box dimensions
    mouseData.selectionBox.setX(box->left());
    mouseData.selectionBox.setY(box->top());

    }
    // On right mouse button release
    else if(ev->button()==Qt::RightButton)
    {
    // If user presses (and then releases) the right mouse button while drawing box, stop drawing box
    if(drawBox)
    drawBox=false;
    else
    {
    // Set rightButtonRelease flag to TRUE
    mouseData.rightButtonRelease=true;

    }
    }
    } // mouseReleaseEvent()

    void FrameLabel::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *ev)
    {
    // Update cursor position
    setMouseCursorPos(ev->pos());;
    if(ev->button()==Qt::LeftButton)
    {
    // Start drawing box
    startPoint=ev->pos();
    box=new QRect(startPoint.x(),startPoint.y(),0,0);
    drawBox=true;
    }
    } // mousePressEvent()

    void FrameLabel::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *ev)
    {
    QLabel::paintEvent(ev);
    QPainter painter(this);
    // Draw box
    if(drawBox)
    {
    painter.setPen(Qt::blue);
    painter.drawRect(*box);
    }
    } // paintEvent()

    @

    In main program,
    @
    FrameLabel frameLabel;
    frameLabel->setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(frame));
    @

    Thanks for your great help.
