How to use :nTimeOut (TSocket)?

[dutch]

I would like to know :nTimeOut meaning and how to use it. Because I have not know the the server activate after I start the client. TSocket client cannot know when the server re-activate again after down.

The :nTimeOut might be the way out.

Dutch,

nTimeOut is not needed for connection. Just check the returned value from method ConnectTo():

Code: Select all  Expand view

#define SOCKET_ERROR    (-1)
...
if oSocket:ConnectTo( cIPAddr, nPort ) == SOCKET_ERROR
   MsgAlert( "can't connect to server!" )
endif
