Provides an interface for receiving DCOP messages.
This class provides an interface for receiving DCOP messages. To use it,
simply multiply-inherit from DCOPObject and from some other class, and
then implement the DCOPObject::process() method. Because this method is
pure virtual, you must implement the method.
| DCOPObject ()
| DCOPObject |
Creates a DCOPObject and calculates the object id using its physical memory address.
| DCOPObject (QObject *obj)
| DCOPObject |
Creates a DCOPObject and calculates the object id using QObject::name().
| DCOPObject (const QCString &objId)
| DCOPObject |
Creates a DCOPObject with object Id objId.
| ~DCOPObject ()
| ~DCOPObject |
[virtual]
Destroys the DCOPObject and removes it from the map of known objects.
| QCString objId ()
| objId |
[const]
| bool process (const QCString &fun, const QByteArray &data,
QCString& replyType, QByteArray &replyData)
| process |
[virtual]
Dispatches a message.
Usually you want to use an IDL compiler to automatically generate an implementation for this function.
If this function returns false, then processDynamic()
is called.
Note to implementators: remember to call the baseclasses implementation.
Parameters:
| fun | is the normalized function signature.
Such a signature usually looks like
foobar(QString,int). The return type,
qualifiers like "const" etc. are not part of
the signature.

| bool processDynamic (const QCString &fun, const QByteArray &data,
QCString& replyType, QByteArray &replyData)
| processDynamic |
[virtual]
This function is of interest when you used an IDL compiler to generate the implementation for process() but you still want to dispatch some functions dynamically. Dynamically means that methods may appear and vanish during runtime.
Returns: false by default.

| QCStringList interfaces ()
| interfaces |
[virtual]
Returns the names of the interfaces, specific ones last. The functions gets reimplemented by the IDL compiler. If you don't use the IDL compiler, consider implementing this function manually if you want your object to be easily explorable.
See also: functions()
| QCStringList functions ()
| functions |
[virtual]
Returns the list of functions understood by the object. It gets reimplemented by the IDL compiler. If you don't use the IDL compiler, consider implementing this function manually if you want your object to be easily scriptable.
Rationale: functions() allows an interpreter to do client-side type-casting properly.
Note to implementators: remember to call the baseclasses implementation.

| void emitDCOPSignal ( const QCString &signal, const QByteArray &data)
| emitDCOPSignal |
Emit signal as DCOP signal from this object with data as
arguments
| bool connectDCOPSignal ( const QCString &sender, const QCString &senderObj,
const QCString &signal,
const QCString &slot,
bool Volatile)
| connectDCOPSignal |
Connect to a DCOP signal
Volatile is true and sender does not exist.
signal and slot do not have matching arguments.
Parameters:
| sender | the name of the client that emits the signal. When empty the signal will be passed from any client. |
| senderObj | the name of the sending object that emits the signal. |
| signal | the name of the signal. The arguments should match with slot. |
| slot | The name of the slot to call. Its arguments should match with signal. |
| Volatile | If true, the connection will not be reestablished when
sender unregisters and reregisters with DCOP. In this case the sender
must be registered when the connection is made.
If false, the connection will be reestablished when sender reregisters.
In this case the connection can be made even if sender is not registered
at that time.
|
Returns: false if a connection could not be established. This will be the case when
| bool disconnectDCOPSignal ( const QCString &sender, const QCString &senderObj,
const QCString &signal,
const QCString &slot)
| disconnectDCOPSignal |
Disconnect a DCOP signal
A special case is when both sender & signal are empty. In this case all connections related to this object in the current client are disconnected. (Both connections from as well as to this object!)
Parameters:
| sender | the name of the client that emits the signal. |
| senderObj | the name of the object that emits the signal. If empty all objects will be disconnected. |
| signal | the name of the signal. The arguments should match with slot. If empty all objects will be disconnected. |
| slot | The name of the slot the signal is connected to. If empty all slots will be disconnected. |
Returns: false if no connection(s) where removed.
| bool hasObject (const QCString &objId)
| hasObject |
[static]
Returns: true if an obejct with the questionable objId is
known in this process. This query does not ask proxies.
| DCOPObject * find (const QCString &objId)
| find |
[static]
This function does not query the DCOPObjectProxy.
Returns: the DCOPObject for the id objId.
| QList<DCOPObject> match (const QCString &partialId)
| match |
[static]
This function is used for multicasting a DCOP message to several objects inside a single process.
Returns: a list of DCOPObjects beginning with the string
contained in partialId.
| QCString objectName ( QObject* obj )
| objectName |
[static]
Creates an object id for the QObject obj. This is done
using the QObject::name() function.
