Hello,

I haven't touched in dbus in ages, so I was wondering how people are using it. Did anyone write a wrapper around libdbus for Lazarus or is everyone using directly libdbus or something like dbus-glib? Do we have bindings for dbus-glib already translated?

thanks,

I have written dbus classes/components.
I never committed them, but they work, and if you want I can send them to you. If you think they're good enough, we can include them in FPC.

Yes, I am very interrested in seeing this

How do you get messages with this library? You need to call something periodically? I always thought that dbus needs integration with the application loop.

It does. You can make do with the OnIdle event, but for true lazarus integration one needs support for such things in TApplication.

It's time to revive the fpasync package by Sebastian Guenther. At the time it was written, I didn't think much of it, but over time I've come to see that it is in fact very much needed. I talked to Mattias once, but didn't get around to a working implementation yet. (Item 548987 on my todo list)

i need dbus too...

i was going to do with plain tcp sockets, but dbus would be nice to integrate....
