How to get an ip address and send a frame to this address?
-
Hello,
For a project I have to get an IP address of an object connected on the network and send it a frame.Do you know how to do it ?
Are there any topics that talk about this subject?I know I have to use the QTNetwork library, but there are so many sub-libraries that I'm lost in what to use.
I thank you in advance for your answer.

and send it a frame.

Then use QTcpSocket to send the data.

I guess you have to use QAbstractSocket with QTcpSocket ?
What does this mean? QTcpSocket dervies from QAbstractSocket, nothing more.

TCP?
Why? What justifies that requirement?
What does "get an ip address" mean? That statement makes my head spin. Get it from where?
and what is a "frame?"

@Kent-Dorfman Sorry for the late answer.
In fact I plan to create an ihm to automate a connected object on the network. For the moment, I just have to turn it off and on.For that, I have to send a "command" on its IP address which will allow to turn off or to turn on.
So for me I have to connect to this IP address first and send a command via TCP.Why TCP ? Because TCP allows to connect and exchange data between objects connected on the same network

@Raphawel What exactly is your problem? If you have the IP then connect to it using https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtcpsocket.html and send what ever you need to send to it.

TCP is a stream so understand that you are responsible for assembling a valid message from any number of reads that can return any possible fragment of a message.
