how to use create QTthread periodically to send stuff?

i'm new to qt stuff, 开发者_StackOverflow中文版in my project i need to send some stuff periodically using threads. so the only way in qt is to use qttimer and qtthreads such that on every timeout i will create a thread to send out my stuff? is this the logical way to do it? thanks!

You don't need to use a QThread if you are using a timer. QTimer already works asynchronously so launching a thread from it wouldn't be useful.

You can use a timer in a separate thread.

In the thread's run function, create a QTimer and set it to trigger your desired slot. Then call exec to start a message loop in the thread to handle signals.
