Custom spinner - fast increment/decrement
Hi,
I am implementing a custom spinner control built using 2 small
buttons and a QLineEdit. Everything is in place and working. One
button increments the linedit, the other decrements it.
I would like to add functionality where if you click and hold
one of the buttons then after 2 secs or so the increment/decrement
speed is much faster.
I have some ideas using a timer and so forth, but perhaps there
is some already available functionality I am not aware of.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Mark
I think timer is good idea here, but I advise you to start the timer on mousePress and stop it after those 2 sec. to not let the timer working unused(lots of them can slowdown your application).
I would change some bool when timer stops after 2 seconds from mouse press and reset it on mouseRelease.
But if you'll need second timer to control increments/decrements timing when button is pressed, there's no sense of having two timers per widget, so maybe changing increment speed after some number of ticks instead of waiting those 2 seconds on sec timer.
You may also check QTime class - it allows you to get time on mousePress and measure time that passed without second timer.
