If i got it right , you want to wait after that signal is called or before that..if yes then what is the purpose of waiting there? as soon as code reaches the line it will simple get executed.

Hi,
If you want to wait you have to use a Timer element.
onClicked activates the timer which sends the signal appWindow.eligib...
code is quite easy.. you should add very few lines.

sir vineet .jain actually i am developing luddo application and i want when this image is clicked a signal has need to send and i want to show next activity after some time .bt in presant case i cant do as..is there any way to wait there....i cant use timer because this signal goes on 16 different places with different values.
i just want to know is there any way to wait in qml expect timer

but here when i send signal at the same time all my values set according to that signal....but i want there should be some delay .

hello gnuton,
thanks for replying but my issues this signal is sending from 16 different places. with different vlaues..then i dont think i can use timer...

There is no sleep function in QML.
If if there was sleep function as in C/C++ it would have blocked the entire thread for N ms.
This is unacceptable.

So the only approach available is using timers.
You can use 1 timer and you can define as property the values to send.

if (!timer.running){
timer.myValue = "hello"
timer.running = true
}

In case timers can run all at the same time. Then you have to define 16 of them.
