emit signal from thread

Question

Hi,

I am writing a sample which uses thread to do some background processing.

In the thread I am trying to emitting a signal. But it is not coming to slot.

While connecting I checked the value of “connect()” function value , it is returning value as true.

One thing to notice is in the run method I am not using “exec() “ .

Please help me to solve this problem.

class MyThread : public QThread
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
    void run( void )
    {
        while (true)
        {
            emit updateStatus();
        }
    }

signals:
    void updateStatus();

};



class test: public  QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public :
    void test
    {
        connect(&thread, SIGNAL(updateStatus()),this, SLOT(update()));
        thread.start();
    }


public slots:
    void update()
    {
        //display
    }

private:
    MyThread  thread;
};
