Signals in iteration statements
-
these days I run into a new thing for me as a beginner Qt developer and I didn't find a solution for it: How to wait on signal/slot to finish job and after that continue with iteration?
Lets say I have two widgets connected:@QObject::connect( firstWidget, SIGNAL( someSignal () ), secondWidget, SLOT( someSlot() );
for( some conditions )
{
//do some stuff
emit someSignal();
// Here I want to wait for my someSlot() to finish his job and after that continue with iteration
}@Thanks!

If you can avoid this kind of thing, then do so. If you are dependent on the signals' handling being finished before you continue, you probably need a direct method invokation, not a signal emission. Having said that: direct signal connections are already guaranteed to be finished. However, you can not guarantee that nobody will connect to your signal from another thread or using a queued connection in the same thread.

If you use "Qt::DirectConnection":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qt.html#ConnectionType-enum as connectionType when you call "connect":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qobject.html#connect the slot/slots should be executed immediately (this only works if both QObject involved are in the same thread, and as far as i know is the default behavior in this case)
