Single Click Event and Double Click Event
-
Hi
I created a slot function single() for mousePressEvent and a slot function double() for mouseDbClickEvent. So if I double click the mouse button, single() runs and after then double() runs. This is what happen when single() contains light job. But if single() contains heavy duty, I don't see double() runs. It seems single() eats up the mouseDbClickEvent signal. What should I do to make double() runs when I double click mouse button where single() contains heavy job?
I am not interested in distinguish single click and double click by timer, becau
se it delays the excution of single(). -
Hi
Qt is event based.
In main.cpp you see the app.exec() call.
This is the event loop.
When a signal is emitted, its being delivered via this loop.But if you stay in side a slot, for a long time. You will block this loop
and NO other signals will be delivered.So do not make heavy stuff in slots.
You can use threads for it.
