    I am building a data collection system where I am using Qt to display data while a thread is collecting the data. The question I have is with the event loop. I need to be able to collect new data from the system and then signal the main app that data has arrived. I am not sure how to structure this with the event handler running. Is it okay to manually call the event handler after I get new data? or is there another method that I should look into?

      Have you already taken a look on "signals and slots":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/signalsandslots.html?

        I plan on using signals and slots to pass data/commands between the main GUI and the thread running the data collection. That is the issue I am having. In order to signals I have to use the QT event handler. I need a way for my data collection function to run continously and signal data changes when needed.

          Be aware that you do not need an event loop to emit signals, just to receive.

          And, as always, make sure you've read "Threads, Events and QObjects":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Threads_Events_QObjects.

            Use QDbus inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism
