I am trying to execute more than one action in same function. In the code below you are going to see a window page with a button and a label. I want to see "BLUE" and after 2 second of sleep I want to see "RED" text on my label. But when I click the button all function work like a block and after two second of slepp the label text changing to "RED". Yes first it change to BLUE but I can not see that because its too fast. How can I fix that?
class Form(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Form, self).__init__(parent)
#label is Hello now
self.label=QLabel("Hello")
self.button = QPushButton("Change it")
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.label)
layout.addWidget(self.button)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.button.clicked.connect(self.func)
def func(self):
self.label.setText("BLUE")
time.sleep(2)
self.label.setText("RED")
void QTimer::singleShot(int msec, const QObject *receiver, const char *member)
This static function calls a slot after a given time interval.
