How to use postEvent for QTextBrowser::setText?

asmirn

I use my class derived from QThread and I get error

Cannot send events to objects owned by a different thread.

When

 ui->textBrowser->setText(str);

I read that postEvent can solve my problem so I want to try to use

QApplication::instance()->postEvent(ui->textBrowser, &ev, INT_MAX);

If this can solve my problem which class I have to use for ev and how to set it?

Hi,

You can modify GUI elements from other threads. You should rather use signals and slots to communicate between both. It will handle the communication properly for you.
