Re: [Dbus-cxx-devel] How do I access properties of an Interface.

[roland r. <rro...@gm...>]

Thanks Rick,

How do I access interface properties in dbus c ? Can you point me to an
example that does that? I found many example that demonstrate methods and
signals, but none that access properties.
I tried invoking "Get" method on "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties", but that
returned "Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist" ???

I might help contribute patches for this library. But first let me come up
to the mark.
