How to use the Hyprland.rawEvent(event) method?

[exaltedtopaz]

I want to know the active state of specialworkspace and I figured that I can listen to the activespecial event emitted by Hyprland's IPC.

I tried Hyprland.rawEvent("activespecial") but got this:

  WARN: "Could not convert argument 0 at"
  WARN: 	 "expression for onCompleted@qsintercept:///mnt/Data/Projects/dota2-dotfiles/shell.qml:23"
  WARN: Passing incompatible arguments to signals is not supported.

I've found an example to listen to Hyprland's IPC here, however, I don't find an example utilizing Hyprland.rawEvent(event).

That is for receiving events not sending them. Look at Hyprland.dispatch or the socket.

Connections {
    target: Hyprland
    function onRawEvent(event) {
        if (event.name === "activespecial") {
            console.log("  Event Name:", event.name);
            console.log("  Event Data:", event.data);
        }
    }
}

Found it!

Oh I misunderstood what you wanted, that is correct.
