C++ Multi-Client TCP Server with QList

[Hannes T]

Necessary informations:

  QList<QTcpSocket*> list;
  QTcpServer* server;
  QTcpSocket* socket;

In Qt I have built a TCP-Server(QTcpServer)! I have a **QList **with all my connected clients and I want to read the incomming data for each client personally. So if the **QTcpServer **gets a new connection, I handel it like this:

void Server::newConnection()
{
   qDebug() << "New Connection";
   list.append(server->nextPendingConnection());
   connect(list.last(),SIGNAL(readyRead()),this,SLOT(readyRead()));
}

How can I get the correct client (out of my QList), which send the **SIGNAL **readyRead(), in my **SLOT **readyRead()?

void Server::readyRead(){
       //??
}

Any help is welcomed!

hi and welcome
In the slot, you can call sender() to know who sent the signal.
Its returns as QObject so you must cast it.

QTcpSocket* soc = qobject_cast<QTcpSocket*>(sender());
if(soc) ...

Remember to check that pointer is not NULL.
