Detailed Description

A wrapper around ExternalProcess to conveniently show a MessageBox when an error occurs.

Use the custom Ctor to provide callback functions for stdout/stderr output or set them via setCallbacks().

Running an external program blocks the caller, so do not use this in a main GUI thread (unless you have some other means to tell the user that no interaction is possible at the moment).

Member Function Documentation

run() [1/2]

ExternalProcess::RETURNSTATE run	(	QWidget *	parent,
		const QString &	exe,
		const QStringList &	args,
		const QString &	working_dir,
		const bool	verbose
	)

Same as other overload, just without a returned error message.

run() [2/2]

ExternalProcess::RETURNSTATE run	(	QWidget *	parent,
		const QString &	exe,
		const QStringList &	args,
		const QString &	working_dir,
		const bool	verbose,
		String &	error_msg
	)

Runs a program by calling ExternalProcess::run and shows any error reported in error_msg as a MessageBox before this function returns.

Parameters

	parent	Optional parent widget, used to position QMesssageBoxes above the parent
	exe	The program to call (can contain spaces in path, no problem)
	args	A list of extra arguments (can be empty)
	working_dir	Execute the external process in the given directory (relevant when relative input/output paths are given). Leave empty to use the current working directory.
	verbose	Report the call command and errors via the callbacks (default: false)
[out]	error_string	Message to display to the user or log somewhere if something went wrong (if return != SUCCESS)

Returns

Did the external program succeed (SUCCESS) or did something go wrong?

setCallbacks()

void setCallbacks	(	std::function< void(const String &)>	callbackStdOut,
		std::function< void(const String &)>	callbackStdErr
	)

re-wire the callbacks used using run()
