[toc align_right="yes" depth="3"]

You can call a member function of an object using QtConcurrent::run as follows. (Note for an inherited member function, please see QtConcurrent-run-inherited-member-function).

form.h

#ifndef FORM_H<br />#define FORM_H

#include &quot;ui_form.h&amp;quot;

#include &quot;MyClass.h&amp;quot;

class Form : public QWidget, private Ui::Form<br />{<br />Q_OBJECT

public slots:

void on_pushButton_clicked();

public:<br /> Form(QWidget *parent = 0);

private:<br /> MyClass MyObject;

};

#endif

form.cpp

<br />#include &lt;QtGui&amp;gt;<br />#include &lt;QImage&amp;gt;

#include &quot;form.h&amp;quot;

#include &lt;iostream&amp;gt;

}

void Form::on_pushButton_clicked()<br />{<br /> // Start the computation.<br /> QFuture&amp;lt;void&amp;gt; future = QtConcurrent::run(&amp;this-&gt;MyObject, &amp;MyClass::LongFunction);

}<br />
