Adding event to DirectoryWatcher

[DaveD]

Hello all. I'm no expert on using templates, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong when trying to add an item to a DirectoryWatcher event.

Function to catch the event:

void DirectoryMonitorMgr::EventItemAdded(const void *pSender, DirectoryWatcher::DirectoryEvent &arg)
{
std::cout << "EventItemAdded: " << arg.event << " : " << arg.item.path() << std::endl;
}


Inside a method of my DirectoryMonitorMgr class:

newDirectoryWatcher = new DirectoryWatcher(theDirectory, DirectoryWatcher::DW_FILTER_ENABLE_ALL, 30);
newDirectoryWatcher->itemAdded += Delegate<DirectoryMonitorMgr, DirectoryWatcher::DirectoryEvent>(this, &DirectoryMonitorMgr::EventItemAdded);


The error given at the "newDirectoryWatcher->itemAdded += ..." line is:

error C2679: binary '+=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'Poco::Delegate<TObj,TArgs>' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

1> and
1> [
1> TObj=DirectoryMonitorMgr,
1> TArgs=Poco::DirectoryWatcher::DirectoryEvent
1> ]


Can anyone decipher this and tell me how to do this correctly?

Thanks,
Dave

Apologies for the bump, but this has really got me stumped. I've read the docs regarding Events and looked at all the samples I could find (Ping for example). My code follows the samples, and yet there's still something wrong. It's probably something silly I missed, but being a template noob, I don't see it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave

Have a look at the DirectoryWatcher test in the testsuite.

Code: Select all

DirectoryWatcher dw("path", DirectoryWatcher::DW_FILTER_ENABLE_ALL, 2);
dw.itemAdded += Poco::delegate(this, &DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemAdded);
dw.itemRemoved += Poco::delegate(this, &DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemRemoved);
dw.itemModified += Poco::delegate(this, &DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemModified);
dw.itemMovedFrom += Poco::delegate(this, &DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemMovedFrom);
dw.itemMovedTo += Poco::delegate(this, &DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemMovedTo);


and

Code: Select all

void DirectoryWatcherTest::onItemAdded(const Poco::DirectoryWatcher::DirectoryEvent& ev)
{
    ...
}

Thanks guenter, that solved it. I didn't see that test code before.

I started re-reading my C++ STL book last night so hopefully this kind of thing doesn't trip me up so much.
