Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

The QTimer class provides repetitive and single-shot timers.

The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface for timers. To use it, create a QTimer, connect its timeout() signal to the appropriate slots, and call start(). From then on, it will emit the timeout() signal at constant intervals.

Example for a one second (1000 millisecond) timer (from the \l{widgets/analogclock}{Analog Clock} example):

From then on, the update() slot is called every second.

You can set a timer to time out only once by calling setSingleShot(true). You can also use the static QTimer::singleShot() function to call a slot after a specified interval:

QTimer::singleShot(200, this, &Foo::updateCaption);

In multithreaded applications, you can use QTimer in any thread that has an event loop. To start an event loop from a non-GUI thread, use QThread::exec(). Qt uses the timer's \l{QObject::thread()}{thread affinity} to determine which thread will emit the \l{QTimer::}{timeout()} signal. Because of this, you must start and stop the timer in its thread; it is not possible to start a timer from another thread.

As a special case, a QTimer with a timeout of 0 will time out as soon as possible, though the ordering between zero timers and other sources of events is unspecified. Zero timers can be used to do some work while still providing a snappy user interface:

QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);

connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &Foo::processOneThing);

timer->start();

From then on, processOneThing() will be called repeatedly. It should be written in such a way that it always returns quickly (typically after processing one data item) so that Qt can deliver events to the user interface and stop the timer as soon as it has done all its work. This is the traditional way of implementing heavy work in GUI applications, but as multithreading is nowadays becoming available on more and more platforms, we expect that zero-millisecond QTimer objects will gradually be replaced by \l{QThread}s.

\reentrant This static function calls functor after interval.

It is very convenient to use this function because you do not need to bother with a \l{QObject::timerEvent()}{timerEvent} or create a local QTimer object.

If context is specified, then the functor will be called only if the context object has not been destroyed before the interval occurs. The functor will then be run the thread of context. The context's thread must have a running Qt event loop.

If functor is a member function of context, then the function will be called on the object.

The interval parameter can be an int (interpreted as a millisecond count) or a std::chrono type that implicitly converts to nanoseconds.

Note: In Qt versions prior to 6.8, the chrono overloads took chrono::milliseconds, not chrono::nanoseconds. The compiler will automatically convert for you, but the conversion may overflow for extremely large milliseconds counts.
