Signals

Detailed Description

Allows to setup the connection arguments just like in QDBusMessage and supports adding arguments to the call. To invoke the message use the slot call().

If the call succeeds the signal finished() is emitted, if the call fails the signal failed() is emitted.

Note: the DBusCall always uses the session bus and performs an async call.

Example on how to use in Qml:

DBusCall {
    id: dbus
    service: "org.kde.KWin"
    path: "/KWin"
    method: "nextDesktop"
    Component.onCompleted: dbus.call()
}

Example with arguments:

DBusCall {
    id: dbus
    service: "org.kde.KWin"
    path: "/KWin"
    method: "setCurrentDesktop"
    arguments: [1]
    Component.onCompleted: dbus.call()
}

Example with a callback:

DBusCall {
     id: dbus
     service: "org.kde.KWin"
     path: "/KWin"
     method: "currentDesktop"
     onFinished: console.log(returnValue[0])
 }
