How to implement nativeEvent() in my library?
-
Hi,
I create a C++ library with Qt6, and I try to use nativeEvent() in my library to detect WM_DEVICECHANGE,
but it's failed. I found nothing triggers nativeEvent() in my library.
If I create an application with Qt6, and use nativeEvent() in my application,
nativeEvent() can be trigged, and it can receive WM_DEVICECHANGE.My question is, how can I implement nativeEvent() in my library, and work successfully?
Any advice will be kindly appreciated. -

Hi,
My code in my library is below,// refer to https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qapplication.html#details
int argc = 0;
char* argv[1];
char c_str[] = { "-no-gui" };
sprintf(argv[0], "%s", c_str);
pApp = new QCoreApplication(argc, argv);I create a Qthread in my lib, and in run(), I call pApp->exec();
but when pApp->exec() is calling, my program is crashed, no matter QT += gui or QT -= gui in my lib pro file.On the other hand, I can not override nativeEvent() in my library.
// refer to https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qthread.html#exec
I try another way in my lib as below,
create a Qthread, and in run(), I call thread's exec(),
and call thread's exit() when my thread stops.
My program is working fine, but I can not receive WM_DEVICECHANGE due to nativeEvent() can not be overrided.May I know if I misunderstand something?
Thanks.@Wunian said in How to implement nativeEvent() in my library?:
int argc = 0;
You're passing one argument, so argc must be 1.
If your app is crashing run through debugger and check stack trace to see why it is crashing.
Also, sprintf(argv[0], "%s", c_str); is wrong - argv contains one pointer pointing to nowhere. Please check https://cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/sprintf/ -

Any advice will be kindly appreciated.Do you have a running event loop in your app? Do you instantiate your object which should catch the events properly?

Thanks for your reply.
Do you mean, use QEventLoop in my library, and catch WM_DEVICECHANGE ?
Have a nice day.You need a running Q(Core)Application.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I will try it, and let you know results later.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and help.
I found a solution like this, https://copyprogramming.com/howto/detected-new-usb-device-connected-disconnected-on-qt
I made a class and when I plug/unplug my USB camera, there can receive WM_DEVICECHANGE in my class.
I will also try what I mentioned in my library.
Have a nice day. -
