Failed to close socket connection

[ohadbp]

hi,

i am using a Winsock control in my application.
i wrote some lines of code in the Close event of the control but when i activate the Close function it doesn't close the connection and dont get into the Close event.

is that a common problem? any idea how to solve it?

thank,
ohad.

somehow even we close it but winsock has an option called LINGER which determine the behaviour of the shutdown.... In VC++, CSocket can't control it, only CAsyncSocket can... I think winsock control should be similar to CSocket... but winsock control expose a property - SocketHandle which can be used with API.

I used to use the following code to make sure it really close..


Do While winsock1.State <> sckClosed
HTTPWS.Close
DoEvents
Loop
