FYI, I added a comment on "asynchronous subprocess" feature request.
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-15178?focusedCommentId=132586&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-132586 ....................... Perhaps http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-workerscript.html could be used as a "model" for how such an asynchronous subprocess would work with QML. Where http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-listmodel.html#using-threaded-list-models-with-workerscript provides an example of how the workerscript is invoked as a separate thread without blocking the main GUI thread. http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-workerscript.html#sendMessage-method and http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-workerscript.html#onMessage-signal can be used to communicate between the threads. A similar technique could be used for issuing commands to subprocess and having an action performed asynchronously in the GUI upon its completion. See http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/declarative-threading-workerscript.html for an example of using WorkerScript; http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/declarative-threading-threadedlistmodel.html for example using WorkerScript in QML ListModel element. ....................... Is there any chance this feature might get implemented sometime in the near future? Or should I just follow http://xizhizhu.blogspot.com/2010/10/hybrid-application-using-qml-and-qt-c.html and add libexpect code in C++? -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list Qt-qml@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml
