QThread questions

[Ezequiel Solares]

Hi

I'm doing a non-gui thread. But i don't know how to do one thing.
I create the Thread from the main thread (gui thread). So, the class 
QThSerial:public QThread is owned by the main thread.
I want to have a QT main loop inside the QThSerial so i can use 
QIODevice, QTimer, signal/slot inside the thread.
In the QThSerial i have a public slot. But its owned by the main thread, 
so, if i connect a SIGNAL created in the thread, its tell me this :

ASSERT failure in QCoreApplication::sendEvent: "Cannot send events to 
objects owned by a different thread. Current thread 12fe64. Receiver '' 
(of type 'QThSerial') was created in thread 8b72b8", file kernel
\qcoreapplication.cpp, line 275

The main thread (gui) is 8b72b8
the child thread (non-gui) created with QThread is 12fe64

Thanks in advance

this is the code.

-------------------
main.cpp
------------------

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    myDebug myDeb;
        
    QThSerial mySerial; mySerial.start(QThread::HighestPriority);

    qt_das2 w;
    w.show();
    a.connect(&a, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
    return a.exec();
}
