How to make QTcpSocket wait for receiving data

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I am working in a small project using Qt
My program is a client, connected to server.
I use QTcpSocket.

C++

connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(handleData()));

Client receives data from server in 2 cases :
+) Case 1: Server always send its status
Client receives and only show them.
+) Case 2: When client wants to get some information, client will send a command.
Server will parse the command and return proper informations.
I want that client must wait for receiving data in TIMEOUT seconds.

Because I am using SIGNAL readyRead(), data will be received in another thread.
I can't wait for receiving data from server in case 2.

Can anyone suggest me some ideals ?
Thanks !

Solution 1

you will just have to save what was the last request the client sent (case 1 or 2), and when the data comes back from the server, process it and signal it to the next level.

Solution 2

You can emit custom signal when bytes are read and is being connected.
