improve the selection of the topic type #28

Closed kaserf closed 12 years ago

kaserf commented 12 years ago

currently the topic needs to be running before we can choose it, otherwise the message class lookup will fail (and we have no manual setting)

kaserf commented 12 years ago

this probably needs to be done earlier in order to reach the next milestone.

kaserf commented 12 years ago

could be done with a blocking get_topic_class call in rostopic. it should be wrapped to be async though...

moving back to the original milestone.

kaserf commented 12 years ago

fixed by wrapping the blocking get topic class call into its own thread and notify the main thread through a signal if the topic is ready to connect to.
