Hi,
I am writing a Plugin for 3ds Max, a programm that's not build with Qt.
I need to use some of the Network-Socket stuff of Qt, but.. to do this I think I need a QApplication Object and the eventLoop.
How do I create the QApplication in a plugin? Sure.. I can do something like:
QApplication app(0, NULL, false); // For no gui mode.
But, the exec() call will always freeze my Plugin, cause I can only call it when a function of my Plugin is called.. and then this function would never exit because it's waiting for the exec().
I could try to place the QApplication in a Thread, but am not sure if this would work and want to ask you first. Doing threads with the WinAPI is nothing I want to do just to "test things" :)
Thanks alot,
Aya
