How to use Client.send(...)/call(...) / Code samples?

[Kai Denker]

Hi!

I want to use org.kde.DCOP.call(...) respectively .send(...) to call the
function "openComposer()" on kmail. I wonder how to pass arguments to the
function I want to call.

c.send("kmail", "KMailIface", "openComposer()", ...);

I guess, I have to insert them at the dots, but I don't know how to this,
since the signatures of send and call expect an array of bytes or a single
string.

I've searched for code samples, but didn't find any.

Regards,
Kai Denker

In C++ it works like this:

- create a byte array
- create a QDataStream on this array
- write your arguments into it
- use the serialized data as the function's argument.

Btw, the method signature needs to include the parameter types(not their names
though).
No sure if you need to write "QString" or "String" in such a signature.
