QDeclarativeEngine in a QThread

[bunjee]

Greetings Qt enthusiasts,

I would like to "sandbox" the execution of a QML file.

Is it possible to run QDeclarativeEngine or QDeclarativeComponent inside a QThread.

The goal is to prevent my program to freeze if a malicious javascript infinite loop is executed.

Thanks.

B.A.

Since those are GUI-related classes, they must run in the main thread.

You can try to use WorkerScript in your qml for heavy js calculations.

Thanks guys.

@mlong: What happens if my QML is only based on QObject(s) ?

@Denis: The idea is to be able to load any QML file without risking to crash the app. Just like HTML in the browser. I cannot force anyone to use WorkerScript in their QML.
