Re: [ace-users] ACE and Qt

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Scott,

Thanks very much for your email. Please make sure to send all questions
related to ACE to the appropriate mailing list or newsgroup, rather than
to me directly since I travel frequently and often don't have ready
access to email. See

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-mail.html

for more info on how to access these resources. In the meantime, I've
cc'd your email to the ACE mailing list since I don't have an experience
using ACE together with Qt.

Hi Scott,

I hit "send" too fast.

Please see

ACE_ROOT/tests/Future_Test.cpp

for an example of how to implement a variant of the Active Object
pattern with ACE.

Thanks,
