Hello everyone,

Many thanks in advance.

What is a infra-rouge device?

[tbscope]

IR (Infra-Red) like in the remote of your TV I guess.

On Windows this is probably done by installing a device driver and using the API of the driver. (Microsoft IrDA?)
The same on Linux I guess. Some IR functionality is already built in the kernel I think.

Thanks for replying, yes I mean infra-red device.
Can you tell me how to detect such device with Qt ?
Best regards.

I don't know but you can have a look at Qt Mobility Project and see if it supports ir.
