TCP server, show only the selected clients messages

thehilmisu

I am developing a simple tcp server with qt. There is no problem with that. But the problem is, i have listed every connected client in a listbox and i want to see the incoming data only from the selected client from the listbox but i can only see the last connected client's messages. here is the code, this is the constructor part
@
server = new QTcpServer();
client = new QTcpSocket();
connect(server, SIGNAL(newConnection()),this, SLOT(acceptConnection()));
server->listen(QHostAddress::Any, ui->txtPort->text().toInt(bool(),10));
if(server->isListening())
{
ui->statusBar->showMessage("Server Started..");
}
else
{
ui->statusBar->showMessage("Server Not Started..");
}

connect(client,SIGNAL(disconnected()),this,SLOT(client_disconnected()));

connect(ui->listWidget,SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)),this,SLOT(selected_client()));

@

here is acceptConnection() part

@
client = server->nextPendingConnection();

ui->listWidget->insertItem(client_count,client->peerAddress().toString());
client_count++;

@

and this is the listWidget item's selected item event

@
ui->txtRead->clear();
selected_client_index = ui->listWidget->currentIndex().row();
connect(client, SIGNAL(readyRead()),this, SLOT(startRead()));
@

and lastly the startRead() part

@
char buffer[1024] = {0};
client->read(buffer, client->bytesAvailable());
qDebug() << buffer;
ui->txtRead->insertPlainText(buffer);
@

How can i select the specific client and show its messages ?
Thanks in advance.

You should have a list of clients instances not only one.

yes i have created @QList<QTcpSocket*> client_list;@ and append every client in it.
