I'm on 3.3 No, this should even work in 3.1 I am on 3.2 and unfortunately KMail doesn't have that particual DCOP function yet. So I tried with a similar method (taking a QStringList) from JuK and it worked as expected. Maybe dcop is selecting the wrong function. You can explicitly call one if the variants by adding the parametertypes to the funktion name. dcop app object "function(QString, QStringList)" "string" \[ param1 param2 \] Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer <kevin.krammer@xxxxxx> Qt/KDE Developer, Debian User www.mrunix.de - German Unix/Linux programming forum www.qtforum.org - Qt programming forum ___________________________________________________ .
