Asynchronous Socket

Maybe somebody have sample code where Asynchronous Socket was used?
The best would be irc client ;].
Thx

This helped me getting started:

Good luck.

At start thx for quick response :)
I saw this tutorial.

Can you tell me why this code dosn't work correctly? ;/

Whats the problam your getting?

i'm little update my code

Every thing is ok when i set NULL on hWndParent in CreateWindowEx then i see the window(of course i don't want see it).So i can hit any key and send function is executed.

Problem is when hWndParent is set to HWND_MESSAGE ,then my application don't respond for key hit.

I think that i must send i.e WM_KEYDOWN message to this windows
via SendMessage?

Tell us what do you think this code is supposed to do. Then tell us what the code is actually doing.

Frankly, it's very odd code. It sends an HTTP GET request when you press a key, but the way it's coded, it's doubtful that it will ever get the response (i.e., the code under FD_READ is probably never triggered). Where did this code come from?

Mike

Sending a WM_KEYDOWN suppose to trigger it, but why do that? I mean why make a invisible window just to send and recive data?

That's how asynchronous sockets work in Windows. The winsock stack posts a message to the window of your choice, when a socket event occurs. For example, when data arrives, an FD_READ notification is posted to the window that you specified in the call to WSAAsyncSelect().

It's not required that the window is hidden. If you are writing a "from scratch" API program, then the window is often the main GUI window.

Most frameworks, however, create one new hidden window for each new socket. This tends to be more object-oriented, and has other benefits too.

There are other ways to work with sockets in a non-blocking way. The WSAAsyncSelect() method is elegant in a windowing environment, since it converts socket events into ordinary Windows messages, thereby serializing socket events into the stream of other events that the application is handling.

But other ways do, in fact, exist. For example, select-based architectures, event-based architectures (using WSAEventSelect()), and I/O completion ports. It all depends on what you want to do.

Ok,i changed function WSAAsyncSelect to WSAEventSelect and work very nice ;]..btw:thx for this advise :).
But i little problem.Please look on code:

Code:

---

DWORD WINAPI start_thread(LPVOID thread_data)
 {
    SOCKET sock=(SOCKET&)thread_data;
    WSAEVENT hEventObject = WSA_INVALID_EVENT;
    hEventObject = WSACreateEvent();
    WSANETWORKEVENTS hConnectEvent;

    char buf[1024];

    WSAEventSelect(sock,hEventObject,FD_READ | FD_CLOSE);

        while(hWatku)
        {
            int nReturnCode = WSAWaitForMultipleEvents(1, &hEventObject,
                                                      FALSE, INFINITE, FALSE);

                WSAEnumNetworkEvents(sock ,(unsigned long)&hConnectEvent,&hConnectEvent);

                if ( hConnectEvent.lNetworkEvents & FD_READ)
                {

                                recv(sock,buf,sizeof(buf),0);
                                cout<<buf<<endl;

                }
                if (hConnectEvent.lNetworkEvents & FD_CLOSE)
                {
                        shutdown(sock,FD_READ|FD_CLOSE);
                        closesocket(sock);
                        ExitThread(0);
                }

        }


    return 0;
 }

---

this condition

Code:

---

        if ( hConnectEvent.lNetworkEvents & FD_READ)

---

is always true ;/.
i was trying also :

Code:

---

if ( hConnectEvent.lNetworkEvents & FD_READ &&  hConnectEvent.iErrorCode[FD_READ_BIT] == 0)

---

but this condition is always false ;/.
What is wrong with condition ?

Ok, i found the error;]

Code:

---

WSAEnumNetworkEvents(sock ,hEventObject,&hConnectEvent);

---

second variable was not correct in this function.
