// type can be one of QTYPE_A, QTYPE_NS, QTYPE_CNAME, QTYPE_PTR or QTYPE_SRV
wxServDisc(void* parent, const wxString& what, int type);
~wxServDisc();
// yeah well...
std::vector<wxSDEntry> getResults() const;
size_t getResultCount() const;
// get query name
const wxString& getQuery() const { const wxString& ref = query; return ref; };
// get error string
const wxString& getErr() const { const wxString& ref = err; return ref; };
Typically you would do a three-stage query when looking up the address of a service instance (look into sdwrap sample to see how it's done...):
wxServDisc *servscan = new wxServDisc(this, wxT("_rfb._tcp.local."), QTYPE_PTR);
wxServDisc namescan(0, servscan->getResults().at(0).name, QTYPE_SRV);
wxServDisc addrscan(0, namescan.getResults().at(0).name;, QTYPE_A);
wxString addr = addrscan.getResults().at(0).ip;
Ah yes and a wxServDisc instance sends a custom event when sth. is discovered. so you have to add it to your event table, if you want to use it:
// map recv of wxServDiscNOTIFY to some method
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrameMain, FrameMain)
EVT_COMMAND (wxID_ANY, wxServDiscNOTIFY, MyFrameMain::onSDNotify)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
In that event listener function, you can then call getResults().
wxServDisc uses mdnsd (C) Jer jer@jabber.org internally.
Prerequisites: wxWidgets >= 2.8
./configure && make
OR (when building for Win32 with mingw-w64):
./configure --build=<your build target name> --host=i686-w64-mingw32 \
--with-wx-config=<your win32 wx-config> && make
OR (when building under OS X):
./configure && make && make appbundle
That's it, have fun!
