Detailed Description

Applications using the Qt D-Bus module can provide services to other, remote applications by exporting objects, as well as use services exported by those applications by placing calls and accessing properties.

The Qt D-Bus module provides an interface that extends the Qt Signals and Slots mechanism, allowing one to connect to a signal emitted remotely as well as to connect a local signal to remote slot.

To use this module, use the following code in your application:


  #include <QtDBus>

If you're using qmake to build your application, you can add this line to your .pro file to make it link against the Qt D-Bus libraries:


  QT += dbus

Note: The source code for this module is located in the src/qdbus directory. When installing Qt from source, this module is built when Qt's tools are built. See the D-Bus page for detailed information on how to use this module.
