Send objects via QSocket

Hi there,

currently, I do send objects via QSocket by cutting them down and send each attribute. The receiver takes all incoming attributes and creates an object.
But sometimes writeBlock() sends more than an object, three or more in one package,
How can I force it to send when I want to?

Is there another possibility of sending objects?

Many thanks in advance.

Ciao
Tom

You can flush the socket, but I think you better design your protocol to allow merged blocks.

For example sending some kind of start and end marker.

Hi anda_skoa,

I'll try it with struct.
Think it's gonna work.

Just in case you mean writing a struct as one block of memory I would advise against it.

This is really unportable, better use QDataStream to write each field.
