I have not seen your post. Maybe it was lost or delayed somehow? Note the full quote chain in my email. I only saw Alan's post, which is what I was answering to. The confusion stems from the fact that my reply seems to have accidentally been targeted at your post rather than Alan's. Either way, I can't see your post with the in-depth explanation anywhere.

I gave you an in-depth explanation of why putting a Timer element inside a QtObject doesn't work if you try to do it the standard way, and how to make it work. I even went as far as testing the code on my machine before answering to your mail. Have you read my original mail ?

It's a perfectly valid question as you might use QtObject -based > parents for various things and want to have timers in them.
