Updating QLabel from non-gui thread

bagipro

@void MainWindow::update()
{
while(work)
{
QSettings setting("Log.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
setting.beginGroup("History");
setting.setValue("CurrentMailpass",currentDataLine);
setting.endGroup();

    ui->label_21->setNum(socksLenght);
    ui->label_22->setNum(dataLenght);
    ui->label_23->setNum(currentSocksLine);
    ui->label_24->setNum(currentDataLine);
    ui->label_5->setNum(liveNum);
    QCoreApplication::processEvents();

    ::Sleep(2000);
}

}@

@ QString key = ui->lineEdit_7->text();
work = true;
if(key.length() > 0) QtConcurrent::run(this,&MainWindow::socksUpdate,key);
QtConcurrent::run(this,&MainWindow::update);
thread();
work = false;@

But those labels are not updated

Lol i have 5 threads in the program, but 2 was runned only

Fix:
@QThreadPool::globalInstance()->setMaxThreadCount(100);@

JKSH

FYI, QWidgets are not thread safe, and should be accessed from the GUI thread only. Updating them directly from other threads can cause problems for you in the future.

For cross-thread communications, I recommend signals + slots.

Also, QtConcurrent::run() and QThreadPool are meant for short tasks (the whole idea is, when your task finishes, the thread can be reused for other tasks). For long tasks like infinite loops, use QThread.
