PyQt and Threading to update a dialog?

[Fabian Steiner]

Hello!

I have just written a MyDialog class which is derived from the orginial
QDialog class. MyDialog only possesses a QLabel and a QPushButton. Now I
would like to get the QLabel updated every second so that it displays
the current time.
I think I will have to work with Threads in order to achieve this aim,
but so far I didn't succeed in doing it because I couldn't find any
examples.

Could anyone give me some hints or a piece of code?

Cheers,
Fabian Steiner

So long as you have the event loop running it's probably easiest to use a
QTimer that connects to a slot in your QDialog sub-class.

No need to use threads.
