WSJT-X/UDPExamples/MessageAggregator.cpp

//
// MessageAggregator - an example application that utilizes the WSJT-X
//                     messaging facility
//
// This  application is  only  provided as  a  simple GUI  application
// example to demonstrate the WSJT-X messaging facility. It allows the
// user to set  the server details either as a  unicast UDP server or,
// if a  multicast group address  is provided, as a  multicast server.
// The benefit of the multicast server is that multiple servers can be
// active at  once each  receiving all  WSJT-X broadcast  messages and
// each able to  respond to individual WSJT_X clients.  To utilize the
// multicast  group features  each  WSJT-X client  must  set the  same
// multicast  group address  as  the UDP  server  address for  example
// 239.255.0.0 for a site local multicast group.
//
// The  UI is  a small  panel  to input  the service  port number  and
// optionally  the  multicast  group  address.   Below  that  a  table
// representing  the  log  entries   where  any  QSO  logged  messages
// broadcast  from WSJT-X  clients are  displayed. The  bottom of  the
// application main  window is a  dock area  where a dock  window will
// appear for each WSJT-X client, this  window contains a table of the
// current decode  messages broadcast  from that  WSJT-X client  and a
// status line showing  the status update messages  broadcast from the
// WSJT-X client. The dock windows may  be arranged in a tab bar, side
// by side,  below each  other or, completely  detached from  the dock
// area as floating windows. Double clicking the dock window title bar
// or  dragging and  dropping with  the mouse  allows these  different
// arrangements.
//
// The application  also provides a  simple menu bar including  a view
// menu that allows each dock window to be hidden or revealed.
