Function

ECalClientconnect

since: 3.8

Declaration [src]

void
e_cal_client_connect (
  ESource* source,
  ECalClientSourceType source_type,
  guint32 wait_for_connected_seconds,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

Asynchronously creates a new ECalClient for source and source_type.

The wait_for_connected_seconds argument had been added since 3.16, to let the caller decide how long to wait for the backend to fully connect to its (possibly remote) data store. This is required due to a change in the authentication process, which is fully asynchronous and done on the client side, while not every client is supposed to response to authentication requests. In case the backend will not connect within the set interval, then it is opened in an offline mode. A special value -1 can be used to not wait for the connected state at all.

Unlike with e_cal_client_new(), there is no need to call e_client_open() after obtaining the ECalClient.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call e_cal_client_connect_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Available since: 3.8

This function completes asynchronously. Use e_cal_client_connect_finish() inside the GAsyncReadyCallback to obtain the result of the operation.
