## Signal Documentation

gotMessage | ( | QString | message
| ) |  |  |

Emitted when a message was received.

Parameters:

  | message | the message that has been received

Signal syntax:
  `QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("gotMessage(const QString&)"), target_slot)`

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | accept_broadcast,
|  | QWidget | parent,
|  | bool | obsolete
| ) |  |  |

Creates an instance which will receive X messages.

Parameters:

  | accept_broadcast | if non-NULL, all broadcast messages with this message type will be received.
  | parent | the parent of this widget
  | obsolete | always set to false (needed for backwards compatibility with KDE3.1 and older)

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | accept_broadcast=NULL,
|  | QWidget | parent=NULL
| ) |  |  |

Deprecated:
  This method is equivalent to the other constructor with obsolete = true.

broadcastMessage | ( | self, |
|  | QString | msg_type,
|  | QString | message,
|  | int | screen,
|  | bool | obsolete
| ) |  |  |

Deprecated:
  This method is equivalent to broadcastMessage() with obsolete = true.

broadcastMessage | ( | self, |
|  | QString | msg_type,
|  | QString | message
| ) |  |  |

Deprecated:
  This method is equivalent to broadcastMessage() with obsolete = true.

sendMessage | ( | self, |
|  | int | w,
|  | QString | msg_type,
|  | QString | message,
|  | bool | obsolete
| ) |  |  |

Deprecated:
  This method is equivalent to sendMessage() with obsolete = true.

sendMessage | ( | self, |
|  | int | w,
|  | QString | msg_type,
|  | QString | message
| ) |  |  |

Deprecated:
  This method is equivalent to sendMessage() with obsolete = true.
