Detailed Description

Timer events are sent at regular intervals to objects that have started one or more timers. Each timer has a unique identifier. A timer is started with QObject::startTimer().

The QChronoTimer class provides a high-level programming interface that uses signals instead of events.

The event handler QObject::timerEvent() receives timer events.

See also QChronoTimer, QObject::timerEvent(), QObject::startTimer(), and QObject::killTimer().

Member Function Documentation

`[explicit, since 6.8]` QTimerEvent::QTimerEvent(Qt::TimerId timerId)

Constructs a timer event object with the timer identifier set to timerId.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.8.

`[explicit]` QTimerEvent::QTimerEvent(int timerId)

Constructs a timer event object with the timer identifier set to timerId.

`[since 6.8]` Qt::TimerId QTimerEvent::id() const

Returns the Qt::TimerId of the timer associated with this event, which is the same identifier returned by QObject::startTimer() cast to Qt::TimerId.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.8.

int QTimerEvent::timerId() const

Returns the unique timer identifier, which is the same identifier as returned from QObject::startTimer().
