Intel RealSense ID Face recognition callback

[addebito]

Hi all,
I'm playing with the Intel Real Sense ID SDK for face recognition.
https://www.intelrealsense.com/facial-authentication/

I'm trying to integrate in a QT widget application but when I have to call the authentication procedure I have to pass a "callback class" like this:

RealSenseID::FaceAuthenticator authenticator;
auto status = authenticator.Connect({"COM9"});
if (status == RealSenseID::Status::Ok)
{
    MyAuthClbk auth_clbk;
    authenticator.Authenticate(auth_clbk); // <-- I HAVE TO PASS THE CALLBACK
}

and this is the callback class

class MyAuthClbk : public RealSenseID::AuthenticationCallback
{
public:
    void OnResult(const RealSenseID::AuthenticateStatus status, const char* user_id) override
    {
        if (status == RealSenseID::AuthenticateStatus::Success)
            std::cout << "Authenticated " << user_id << std::endl;
    }

    void OnHint(const RealSenseID::AuthenticateStatus hint) override
    {
        std::cout << "OnHint " << hint << std::endl;
    }

    void OnFaceDetected(const std::vector<RealSenseID::FaceRect>& faces, const unsigned int ts) override
    {
        for (auto& face : faces)
        {
            printf("** Detected face %u,%u %ux%u (timestamp %u)\n", face.x, face.y, face.w, face.h, ts);
        }
    }
};

When the callback is invoked how do I call my QT object or window by signal?
Eg. instead the line

 std::cout << "Authenticated " << user_id << std::endl;

I want to call a signal with a QString of the user id
Thank you for any suggestion...

I don't really understand what you are asking for, perhaps someone else will do so better. But if it helps: you "raise"/"call" a signal in Qt via emit, like emit someSignal(something) or someObject->emit(something). You can only pass, say, a QString as a parameter if the signal has been defined to take that parameter. You cannot change the inbuilt Qt signals' parameters to something they don't expect, just because you feel like doing so. But you can write your own signals if you wish.

C++ allows multiple inheritance:
class MyAuthClbk : public QObject, public RealSenseID::AuthenticationCallback

Now you can define and emit signals from the callback class (don't forget the Q_OBJECT macro)

Thank you @JonB , thank you @VRonin.

I know about the multiple inheritance in C++, but in the past I used it on my classes w/o mixing "my object" and QObject.
I'll try.

Thanks again for your fast reply.
