[dbus-cplusplus-devel] send / send_blocking / send_async

[Andreas V. <li...@br...>]

Hello,

I noticed that if I call a message with dbus-c++ that the caller
blocks.

My application logic has everywhere a Caller and a listener:

    <method name="getWindowList">
      <arg type="i" name="start" direction="in"/>
      <arg type="i" name="end" direction="in"/>
    </method>

    <signal name="getWindowListResult">
      <arg type="as" name="titleList" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="i" name="start" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="i" name="end" direction="out"/>
      <arg type="i" name="size" direction="out"/>
    </signal>

So my idea was to handle a asynchronous communication. The client calls
a getWindowList and after calculation that list the system should
answer with a getWindowListResult. But my idea failed because the
client blocks the method call.

How could I realize a async communication like I would expect with
dbus-c++?

I could for sure put something on top of dbus-c++, but better would be
to place that into the library.

Thanks for your answer.

regards
Andreas
