[Kde-games-devel] Re: Connect a button with KGameIO

[cantabile]

It works, thanks Andreas : I connected the button like that :

	KPlayer* pl = boardDoc->getPlayer(boardDoc->mCurrentPlayer);
	KGameIO *plio = pl->findRttiIO(playerRTTI);
	dynamic_cast<MatchesMouseIO *>(plio)->moveDone();

But thtere is another question, now :

my MatchesMouseIO::moveDone() method calls sendInput(msg) in order to
process the player move. Where do I get back (I mean retrieve, pick up)
the msg now ? 

So far, I have a KMatchesDoc::playerInput() method and a
KMatchesView::slotMouseInput() method, but none of them seem to receive
something.

When thinking of it, it seems logical, since the button is not connected
to the mouse methods but to its own clicked() signal. So where is the
msg sent ? I read in the sources it is sent to KGame. Is there another
method than playerInput() in KGame I would have overlooked ?

Thanks.
