Detailed Description

These constants are used as event ID in events returned by dc_get_next_event().

Events typically come with some additional data, use dc_event_get_data1_int(), dc_event_get_data2_int() and dc_event_get_data2_str() to read this data. The meaning of the data depends on the event.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ DC_EVENT_ACCOUNTS_BACKGROUND_FETCH_DONE

#define DC_EVENT_ACCOUNTS_BACKGROUND_FETCH_DONE   2200

Tells that the Background fetch was completed (or timed out).

This event acts as a marker, when you reach this event you can be sure that all events emitted during the background fetch were processed.

This event is only emitted by the account manager

◆ DC_EVENT_CHAT_EPHEMERAL_TIMER_MODIFIED

#define DC_EVENT_CHAT_EPHEMERAL_TIMER_MODIFIED   2021

Chat ephemeral timer changed.

Parameters
data1(int) chat_id
data2(int) The timer value in seconds or 0 for disabled timer.

◆ DC_EVENT_CHAT_MODIFIED

#define DC_EVENT_CHAT_MODIFIED   2020

Chat changed.

The name or the image of a chat group was changed or members were added or removed. Or the verify state of a chat has changed. See dc_set_chat_name(), dc_set_chat_profile_image(), dc_add_contact_to_chat() and dc_remove_contact_from_chat().

Parameters
data1(int) chat_id
data20

◆ DC_EVENT_CONFIG_SYNCED

#define DC_EVENT_CONFIG_SYNCED   2111

A multi-device synced config value changed.

Maybe the app needs to refresh smth. For uniformity this is emitted on the source device too. The value isn't reported, otherwise it would be logged which might not be good for privacy. You can get the new value with dc_get_config(context, data2).

Parameters
data10
data2(char*) Configuration key.

◆ DC_EVENT_CONFIGURE_PROGRESS

#define DC_EVENT_CONFIGURE_PROGRESS   2041

Inform about the configuration progress started by dc_configure().

Parameters
data1(int) 0=error, 1-999=progress in permille, 1000=success and done.
data2(char*) A progress comment, error message or NULL if not applicable.

◆ DC_EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED

#define DC_EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED   2100

The connectivity to the server changed.

This means that you should refresh the connectivity view and possibly the connectivtiy HTML; see dc_get_connectivity() and dc_get_connectivity_html() for details.

Parameters
data10
data20

◆ DC_EVENT_CONTACTS_CHANGED

#define DC_EVENT_CONTACTS_CHANGED   2030

Contact(s) created, renamed, verified, blocked or deleted.

Parameters
data1(int) contact_id of the changed contact or 0 on batch-changes or deletion.
data20

◆ DC_EVENT_DELETED_BLOB_FILE

#define DC_EVENT_DELETED_BLOB_FILE   151

Emitted when a blob file was successfully deleted.

Parameters
data10
data2(char*) Path name

◆ DC_EVENT_ERROR

#define DC_EVENT_ERROR   400

The library-user should report an error to the end-user.

As most things are asynchronous, things may go wrong at any time and the user should not be disturbed by a dialog or so. Instead, use a bubble or so.

However, for ongoing processes (e.g. dc_configure()) or for functions that are expected to fail (e.g. dc_continue_key_transfer()) it might be better to delay showing these events until the function has really failed (returned false). It should be sufficient to report only the last error in a message box then.

Parameters
data10
data2(char*) Error string, always set, never NULL. Some error strings are taken from dc_set_stock_translation(), however, most error strings will be in English language.

◆ DC_EVENT_ERROR_SELF_NOT_IN_GROUP

#define DC_EVENT_ERROR_SELF_NOT_IN_GROUP   410

An action cannot be performed because the user is not in the group.

Reported e.g. after a call to dc_set_chat_name(), dc_set_chat_profile_image(), dc_add_contact_to_chat(), dc_remove_contact_from_chat(), dc_send_text_msg() or another sending function.

Parameters
data10
data2(char*) Info string in English language.

#define DC_EVENT_WEBXDC_STATUS_UPDATE   2120

webxdc status update received.

To get the received status update, use dc_get_webxdc_status_updates() with serial set to the last known update (in case of special bots, status_update_serial from data2 may help to calculate the last known update for dc_get_webxdc_status_updates(); UIs must not peek at this parameter to avoid races in the status replication eg. when events arrive while initial updates are played back).

To send status updates, use dc_send_webxdc_status_update().

Parameters
data1(int) msg_id
data2(int) status_update_serial - must not be used by UI implementations.
