Using QtimerEvent as Idle-function in QGraphicsScene

basil_fawlty

The timerEvent, which is a member of a QGLWidget class shall be triggered when the mousemove-function is called. I thought I could do it like this:

@void GLWidget::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *e)
{
if (e->timerId()==1 && refresh==true)
{
refresh = !refresh;
swapBuffers();
update();
}
}@

It looks like this:

@void OpenGLScene::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{
int mousex = event->scenePos().x();
int mousey = event->scenePos().y();

if ((test->modus==2) && (test->move1 != -1))
{
    p_list[test->move1].x=mousex-(1220);
    p_list[test->move1].y=mousey-( 610);
    test->refresh = !(test->refresh);
    test->timerEvent(???);
    update();
}

}@

But somehow I dont know what to put into where the questions marks are. I have tried several things. It is not working. I want to set timerId()=1.I need the timer-function because it is an equivalent to the idle-function in OpenGL. Thanks for your help...

I don't understand what you're trying to do, fully. The timerEvent() isn't supposed to be called manually. You need to use QObject::startTimer() to set a timeout value. timerId() is the value returned by startTimer() when you activate the QObject's built-in timer.

Actually its working fine... I only had a minor problem with my coordinates.Thanks anyway
