First, should there be a whole new main category under "User Interfaces" called QTPYVCP instead of it being covered in "Other User Interfaces"?
Second, if I want to do some periodic stuff in a qtpyvcp based gui, do I use the gobject.timeout_add(time, handler) template or is there a new/preferred way to do it? This is the last thing holding me up in my silverdragon conversion to qt. Thank you.

Are you talking qtpyvcp or qtvcp?

Chris is qtvcp in master only or is it in 2.8? I don't see it in the documents for 2.8.

Yes linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/

Oh I see it now, I was looking in user interfaces for it not virtual control panels. It is a user interface right?

Qtpyvcp (I think) The one for full custom GUIs. In order to implement a program progress bar, I need to periodically get the currently executing line number of the gcode file. If it's in the documentation, I will check again.

I don't know. It is now obvious I don't understand as much as I thought so it's back to the drawing board. Am I at least correct in thinking that qtvcp is analagous to gscreen?

Yes it's unfortunate there is a qtvcp include with linuxcnc's source and there is a qtpyvcp that is a separate project ( to be used with linuxcnc)

Qtvcp is analogous to gscreen - it uses similar ideas (on purpose).
To answer your question in Qtvcp:
STATUS.connect('periodic',self.periodic_update)

Will call a function named:
def periodic_update(self,w):

every 100ms.

But for a progress bar of % completed lines there is another way:
There is a signal send from the gcode editor called percentDone that can be connected to a progrssBars setValue slot using the Designer signal/slot editor.
The blender example uses this technique.

Hey John when I visit this page:
linuxcnc.org/docs/
One can not select 2.8 docs.
