How to Detect Vertical Retraces
-
Dear All:
I am trying to develop an application for scientific purpose and I need to know exactly when the screen is going to begin to draw again. I think that normally the graphic card send a message call "vertical retraces" to tell the CPU he will begin to draw can someone tell me how to catch listen this from withing Qt?
All the best and thanks a lot

I think this is more an OS thing to handle. Qt will only get a 'need to redraw' event from the OS. It does not know itself when to redraw. Maybe you could get some information from the OS itself using OS API.

Hi thanks for your help I have one more question then. This redraw event will then be synchronize with the "Vertical Retraces" don't it? I mean as far as I understand then Qt will received redraw event each time the OS refresh the screen is my assumption correct?
Best and thanks
