QTimer question

DRoscoe

If I call:

some_timer.blockSignals(true);

[do so processing]

some_timer.start();
some_timer.blockSignals(false);

Will that work? I ran into a situation where the [do some processing] part took more than the defined interval for the timer, causing a timeout event to be queued up before I could restart the timer. I just want to make sure that the call to start() will effectively restart the timer even if I am blocking signals.

Thanks!

Hi! I don't see a problem here, but I don't understand why you don't just stop the timer before [some processing] and restart it afterwards.

Hi,
You should get a single timer event (assuming the timer expires at least once).

@Wieland actually, that's exactly what I ended up doing. Not sure why I didn't think of that up front.
