sleep() in a non-threaded class?
Message 1 in thread
Hi all!
Is it possible to use the sleep() function in a non-threaded (= no QThread
inheritance) class?
Thanks!

You can certainly use sleep(3), at least on Linux.

Yup, that's an option, but I want to keep my application cross platform.
So in other words, I'd like to use the QThread::sleep() function, but that
doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas that would work on both linux and windows?
Thanks!

sleep isn't a good idea if you got a GUI. I am guessing this is why
Trolltech hasn't put a sleep function for single threaded applications.
If you need something to be done x seconds later, use a qtimer.

I would expect that your UI won't update or respond to
events during the sleep period though.
