Socket programming question

[ur_unholyness]

Hi, please have a look at the attachment, it is a sample from the book Teach Yourself VC++ in 21 days, which is a dialog based application and has both client and server functionality in the same dialog resource. It has a function called SetParent, and a member variable of the type CDialog* as its parameter.

I need to make a similar application, but I wish to incorporate the client and the server independently, and also, as SDI or MDI applications, instead of dialog based. I tried to use similar approach as in this example, and seperated client and server functionalities into two different applications, but I get a huge number of errors.

The following are the changes I made

Instead of the CDialog* varialbe type, I used a CFormview* variable,as it is an SDI application.
I used the SetParent function with this variable as the parameter.

Where am I doing wrong here? I am unable to figure it out. Please help.

The code that posted has no problem, its a simple dialog based application, which works fine. You should post the code that is having the problem.

Btw, you can get better answer from Network Programming (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=62)

Thank you Mr. Ejaz, I will post it there again, but it would be a great help if you could help me with two answers :

In the sample I uploaded, since it is a dialog based one, it uses the CDialog* variable in the SetParent function. If I were to use most of the same code as in the sample, but in an MDI based application, what do I substitute this CDialog* variable with?.

I guess the SetParent function is used to attach the WinSock functionalities to a view, so if one of the views in my MDI application needs network functionalities, how do I attach them to it using this CMySocket class.

You can set the pointer of whoever owns the socket, replace the pointer of CDialog with the class which has the socket in it.
