How to override timeout() signal of qtimer or any other signal in our class or any other signal.
Also how to use both overridden signal and base signal ?

Hi @Piyush_Ashtikar, and welcome to the Qt Dev Net!

What do you mean by "override a signal"? Signals don't contain any functions -- they only call slots.

Do you mean "override a slot"?

Hi there,

I'm not completely sure what you are asking. But if I'm understanding you correctly, you
want to implement the timeout() signal in your own way? I would suggest sub-classing the
QTimer object.

#include <QTimer>

class CustomTimer : public QTimer
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit CustomTimer(QObject *parent = 0);

signals:
    void customSignal(/*parameters*/);
    
public slots:
    void emitCustomSignal();
};

CustomTimer::CustomTimer(QObject *parent) :
    QTimer(parent)
{

    connect(this, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(emitCustomSignal()));
}

void CustomTimer::emitCustomSignal()
{
    emit customSignal(/*parameters*/);
}
