CInternetSession OnStatusCallback, usage

Hi EveryOne,
I am using the CinternetSession to write a small FTP Client.
I need to know status on line using "OnStatusCallback". How do I implement this.

The code I'm working is:

void CFtpConsole::OnConnect()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
if (m_pFtpConnection != NULL)
m_pFtpConnection->Close();
delete m_pFtpConnection;
m_pFtpConnection = NULL;
UpdateData(TRUE);

try
{
EnableStatusCallback(TRUE);
}
catch (CInternetException* pEx)
{
// catch errors from WinINet
TCHAR szErr[1024];
if (pEx->GetErrorMessage(szErr, 1024))
AfxMessageBox(szErr, MB_OK);
else
//AfxMessageBox(IDS_EXCEPTION, MB_OK);
AfxMessageBox("Unknown Exception", MB_OK);
pEx->Delete();

m_pFtpConnection = NULL;
}


// Connecting to the Server
try
{ // I want to give status here1...
m_pInetSession->GetFtpConnection(m_Server,m_UserName,m_PassWord,21,FALSE );
}
catch (CInternetException* pEx)
{
// catch errors from WinINet
TCHAR szErr[1024];
if (pEx->GetErrorMessage(szErr, 1024))
AfxMessageBox(szErr, MB_OK);
else
//AfxMessageBox(IDS_EXCEPTION, MB_OK);
AfxMessageBox("Unknown Exception", MB_OK);
pEx->Delete();

m_pFtpConnection = NULL;
}

// PopulateTree() will display an error if the FTP connection
// could not be made, otherwise, it grabs the root listing
// and expands any folder indicated by the site name
if (m_pFtpConnection != NULL)
{
//m_FtpTreeCtl.PopulateTree(m_pFtpConnection, strObject);
m_FtpTreeCtl.PopulateTree(m_pFtpConnection, "c2001");
}
else
{
m_FtpTreeCtl.PopulateTree();
}

}
Do I need to call OnStatusCallBack evertime I need status. I don't understand how it is used.

Warm Regards,

Hi Vijay,

you don't need to call OnStatusCallback, the MFC framework calls *your* implementation of OnStatusCallback. You need to inherit your own class from CInternetSession and overwrite OnStatusCallback. For example:

class CMyInternetSession : public CInternetSession
{
public:
void OnStatusCallback( DWORD dwContext,
DWORD dwInternetStatus,
LPVOID lpvStatusInformation,
DWORD dwStatusInformationLength );
};


void CMyInternetSession::OnStatusCallback( DWORD dwContext,
DWORD dwInternetStatus,
LPVOID lpvStatusInformation,
DWORD dwStatusInformationLength )
{
if ( INTERNET_STATUS_CONNECTING_TO_SERVER == dwInternetStatus )
{
AfxMessageBox( "Connecting to server..." );
}
}

Hi Martin,
Thank you for your kind reply...
I did exactly as you suggested.. I am now getting a new error , actually an assert fail.
The assert fail occures in the MFC file Inet.cpp at this location
begin..........................
CInternetSession::CInternetSession(LPCTSTR pstrAgent /* = NULL */,
DWORD dwContext /* = 1 */,
DWORD dwAccessType /* = PRE_CONFIG_INTERNET_ACCESS */,
LPCTSTR pstrProxyName /* = NULL */,
LPCTSTR pstrProxyBypass /* = NULL */,
DWORD dwFlags /* = 0 */)
{
Fails here--> ASSERT((dwFlags & INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC) == 0);
end.................................

I derived an CInternetSession class the constructor for the same is as follows...
begin..............................
CDerivedInternetSession::CDerivedInternetSession(LPCTSTR pstrAgent, DWORD dwContext, DWORD dwAccessType,
LPCTSTR pstrProxyName ,LPCTSTR pstrProxyBypass,DWORD dwFlags)
: CInternetSession( pstrAgent, dwContext, dwAccessType, pstrProxyName, pstrProxyBypass,dwFlags )
{
//CInternetSession( pstrAgent, dwContext, dwAccessType, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC );

}
end...............................

The call to make an object is as follows

begin.....................
m_pInetSession = new CDerivedInternetSession("Test1", 1, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,NULL, NULL ,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC );


try{m_pInetSession->EnableStatusCallback(TRUE); }
catch (CInternetException* pEx)
{
// catch errors from WinINet
TCHAR szErr[1024];
if (pEx->GetErrorMessage(szErr, 1024))
AfxMessageBox(szErr, MB_OK);
else
//AfxMessageBox(IDS_EXCEPTION, MB_OK);
AfxMessageBox("Unknown Exception", MB_OK);
pEx->Delete();

}

end...................................

Some thing goes wrong and an Assertion fails.

If I choose to Ignore it I get an
"Overlapped I/O operation in progress" message.

Where am I going wrong.

Warm Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
m_pInetSession = new CDerivedInternetSession("Test1", 1, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,NULL,
NULL ,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC );

you do not pass "Test1" as the first parameter to the constructor,instead pass NULL so that framework can use AfxGetApp() to get
your application name.And also,if you use asynchronous flag INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC,you have chance to get
the error message "Overlapped I/0 in progress.
Just declare the session object as
m_pInetSession = new CDerivedInternetSession;
you are connecting to which FTP server? you have your own?.
Hope this info. can help you.

Bye
S.Subbi.
