I am trying to make my progressbar flow by time so I connected a progressbar to a QTimer. Here is my code:

void MainWindow::progressbarTimer(QString TimeSet)
{
    ui->progressBar->setMaximum(TimeSet.toInt()*1000);
    QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
    currenttime = TimeSet.toInt();
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(updateProgresbar()));
    timer->start(1);
}

void MainWindow::updateProgresbar()
{
    if(counter <= currenttime*1000)
    {
        counter++;
        ui->progressBar->setValue(counter);
    }
    else
    {
        timer->stop();
        delete timer;
    }
}

Unfortunately I can't seem to input parameters into the updateProgresbar slot to make use of the timer in the function. Anyone got a solution for this? Thanks in advance!
