How to give a delay in loop execution using Qt

Question

In my application I want that when a loop is being executed, each time the control transfers to the loop, each execution must be delayed by a particular time. How can I do this?

EDIT (removed wrong solution). EDIT (to add this other option):

Another way to use it would be subclass QThread since it has protected *sleep methods.

QThread::usleep(unsigned long microseconds); QThread::msleep(unsigned long milliseconds); QThread::sleep(unsigned long second); 

Here's the code to create your own *sleep method.

#include <QThread>      class Sleeper : public QThread { public:     static void usleep(unsigned long usecs){QThread::usleep(usecs);}     static void msleep(unsigned long msecs){QThread::msleep(msecs);}     static void sleep(unsigned long secs){QThread::sleep(secs);} }; 

and you call it by doing this:

Sleeper::usleep(10); Sleeper::msleep(10); Sleeper::sleep(10); 

This would give you a delay of 10 microseconds, 10 milliseconds or 10 seconds, accordingly. If the underlying operating system timers support the resolution.
