## Detailed Description

A DCOPRef(erence) encapsulates a remote DCOP object as a triple <app,obj,type> where type is optional.

It allows for calling and passing DCOP objects.

A DCOP reference makes it possible to return references to other DCOP objects in a DCOP interface, for example in the method giveMeAnotherObject() in an interface like this:

        class Example : public DCOPObject
        {
           K_DCOP
        ...
        k_dcop:
           DCOPRef giveMeAnotherObject();
           int doSomething( QString, float, bool );
           ASYNC pingMe( QCString message );
           UserType userFunction( UserType );
        };

In addition, the reference can operate as a comfortable generic stub to call remote DCOP objects in cases where no DCOPStub is available. The advantage of using DCOPRef instead of the low-level functions DCOPClient::call() and DCOPClient::send() are the nicer syntax and the implicit runtime error checking.

Say you want to call the method "doSomething" from the above interface on an object called "example" that lives in application "foo". Using DCOPRef, you would write

        DCOPRef example( "foo", "example" );
        int result = example.call( "doSomething", QString("Hello World"), (float)2.5, true );

If it is important for you to know whether the call succeeded or not, you can use the slightly more elaborate pattern:

        DCOPRef example( "foo", "example" );
        DCOPReply reply = example.call( "doSomething", QString("Hello World"), (float)2.5, true );
        if ( reply.isValid() ) {
            int result = reply;
            // ...
        }

Note that you must pass a QString for the first argument. If you use a regular char pointer, it will be converted to a QCString.

For curiosity, here is how you would achieve the exactly same functionality by using DCOPClient::call() directly:

        QByteArray data, replyData;
        QCString replyType;
        QDataStream arg( data, IO_WriteOnly );
        arg << QString("hello world" ), (float) 2.5 << true;
        if ( DCOPClient::mainClient()->call( app, obj,
                     "doSomething(QString,float,bool)",
                     data, replyType, replyData ) ) {
        if ( replyType == "int" ) {
            int result;
            QDataStream reply( replyData, IO_ReadOnly );
            reply >> result;
            // ...
        }
        }

As you might see from the code snippet, the DCOPRef has to "guess" the names of the datatypes of the arguments to construct a dcop call. This is done through global inline overloads of the dcopTypeName function, for example

        inline const char* dcopTypeName( const QString& ) { return "QString"; }

If you use custom data types that do support QDataStream but have no corresponding dcopTypeName overload, you can either provide such an overload or use a DCOPArg wrapper that allows you to specify the type.

        UserType userType;
        DCOPReply reply = example.call( "userFunction", DCOPArg( userType, "UserType" ) );

Similar, when you retrieve such a data type, you can use an explicit call to DCOPReply::get():

        UserType userType;
        reply.get( userType, "UserType" );

The function send() works very similar to call(), only that it returns a simple bool on whether the signal could be sent or not:

        if ( example.send( "pingMe", "message" ) == false )
           qWarning("could not ping example" );

A DCOP reference operates on DCOPClient::mainClient(), unless you explicitly specify another client with setDCOPClient().

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum DCOPRef::EventLoopFlag

| Flag for allowing entering the event loop if the call blocks too long. `NoEventLoop` disables entering the event loop. `UseEventLoop` allows entering the event loop while waiting for long blocking DCOP call, thus making the GUI repaint if needed, and possibly allowing also other code in the application to be executed. See also: DCOPClient::call() Definition at line 403 of file dcopref.h.
