Detailed Description

Base class for feedback objects to be used for cancellation of something running in a worker thread.

The class may be used as is or it may be subclassed for extended functionality for a particular operation (e.g. report progress or pass some data for preview).

When cancel() is called, the internal code has two options to check for cancellation state:

The class is meant to be created and destroyed in the main thread.

For map rendering, the object may be created in constructor of a QgsMapLayerRenderer subclass and available with QgsMapLayerRenderer::feedback() method. When a map rendering job gets canceled, the cancel() method is called on the feedback object of all layers.

Member Function Documentation

◆ cancel

void QgsFeedback::cancel ( )
inlineslot

Tells the internal routines that the current operation should be canceled. This should be run by the main thread.

Definition at line 84 of file qgsfeedback.h.

◆ canceled

void QgsFeedback::canceled ( )
signal

Internal routines can connect to this signal if they use event loop.

◆ isCanceled()

bool QgsFeedback::isCanceled ( ) const
inline

Tells whether the operation has been canceled already.

Definition at line 53 of file qgsfeedback.h.

◆ progress()

double QgsFeedback::progress ( ) const
inline

Returns the current progress reported by the feedback object.

Depending on how the feedback object is used progress reporting may not be supported. The returned value is in percentage and ranges from 0-100.
