QT problem : updating text in a QLabel

[xavier.allamigeon]

Hello,

I would want to update a QLabel text (this QLabel displays the temperature of the CPU). But repaint() or update() have no effects until the main window is in focus, and I want the text to update without returning focus to the main window to show the visual change. Any idea ?

Regards
Xavier

i don't really understand what you want to do. why not use setText(QString)?

I use setText, but the new text is not displayed until the main windows is in focus or until I do something over the window (moving the mouse, click on the window...). For example, when you look at the window without doing anything with the computer, nothing happens : the text isn't updated. That's why I wanted to use update or repaint method, but it doesn't work. I have tried with a slot : the signal is emitted when the temperature is changed, and the slot is a QLabel setText. But it doesn't work. Any idea ?

Mmm... are you in a thread or something? try qApp->processEvents() else you could force it to redraw by calling update() though this just makes another event....

if the processEvents() doesn't help, please paste some code showing the generation + setting of the label...
