<!-- $$$QDBusReply-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QDBusReply class stores the reply for a method call to a remote object.</p>
<p>A QDBusReply object is a subset of the <a href="qdbusmessage.html">QDBusMessage</a> object that represents a method call's reply. It contains only the first output argument or the error code and is used by <a href="qdbusinterface.html">QDBusInterface</a>-derived classes to allow returning the error code as the function's return argument.</p>
<p>It can be used in the following manner:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QDBusReply</span><span class="operator"><</span><span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span><span class="operator">></span> reply <span class="operator">=</span> interface<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>call(<span class="string">"RemoteMethod"</span>);
<span class="keyword">if</span> (reply<span class="operator">.</span>isValid())
<span class="comment">// use the returned value</span>
useValue(reply<span class="operator">.</span>value());
<span class="keyword">else</span>
<span class="comment">// call failed. Show an error condition.</span>
showError(reply<span class="operator">.</span>error());</pre>
<p>If the remote method call cannot fail, you can skip the error checking:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> reply <span class="operator">=</span> interface<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>call(<span class="string">"RemoteMethod"</span>);</pre>
<p>However, if it does fail under those conditions, the value returned by <a href="qdbusreply.html#value">QDBusReply::value</a>() is a default-constructed value. It may be indistinguishable from a valid return value.</p>
<p>QDBusReply objects are used for remote calls that have no output arguments or return values (i.e., they have a "void" return type). Use the <a href="qdbusreply.html#isValid">isValid</a>() function to test if the reply succeeded.</p>
