Hey guys, well, I started over with my WinSock functions, and it's going tons better then it did before... So I had a question. I start up Winsock. I create a socket, I bind it, I listen on it. Now, after I start the listening socket, I go into a Do loop, and accept clients... Heres the loop which I'm having troubles with.

(Toggle Plain Text)

do{
             clientS = accept(listenS, NULL, NULL);
             /*if (WM_DESTROY == 1){
             closesocket(listenS);
             WSACleanup();
             PostQuitMessage (0);  // exit  
             } */ 
             Sleep(250);  // PROGRAM HANGS IN THIS LOOP, IT STOPS RESPONDING... AND I TRIED THE IF WM_DESTROY :(
}while (clientS == INVALID_SOCKET);

Ok, for one, I want to wait for a client in a loop and STILL check to see if WM_DESTROY command has been sent.... As you can see, I commented out the part that I tried to check if WM_DESTROY was initiated. Any suggestions on that?

Now, I have this code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

char IpMem[40];
char sPort[10];
GetWindowText(hPortData, sPort, sizeof(sPort)); 
char sIp[30];
int iIp, iPort;
GetWindowText(hIPData, sIp, sizeof(sIp));
strcat(IpMem, sIp);
strcat(IpMem, ":");
strcat(IpMem, sPort);
MessageBox(NULL, IpMem, "Ip and Port", MB_OK);
iIp = atoi(sIp);
iPort = atoi(sPort);
listenS = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (listenS == INVALID_SOCKET) 
{
                          WSACleanup();
                           closesocket(listenS);
                            MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to create socket, SweetTalk will automatically exit now.", "Error", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
                            return EXIT_SUCCESS;
                         }
                         SOCKADDR_IN info;
                         info.sin_family = AF_INET;
                         info.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; // should I replace INADDR_ANY with iIp?
                         info.sin_port = htons(8888); // should I replace 8888 with iPort?
                         ret = bind(listenS,(LPSOCKADDR)&info,sizeof(struct sockaddr));
                         if (ret == SOCKET_ERROR)
                         {
                            WSACleanup();
                            closesocket(listenS);
                            MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to bind socket, SweetTalk will automatically exit now.", "Error", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
                            return EXIT_SUCCESS;
                         }

And there you can see my comments, which are my questions...
Should I replace "INADDR_ANY" with iIp? And should I replace "htons(8888)" with iPort?
If you need any more info on what I need help with, please ask...
Thanks a ton times a million

I would suggest changing while (clientS == INVALID_SOCKET) to:

(Toggle Plain Text)

while ((clientS == INVALID_SOCKET) && !WM_DESTROY)

layer · Apr 29th, 2005, 11:18 AM

Hm... Good call. But you placed an extra "(" after the while

Although, now I have this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

ret = listen(listenS, 5);
                         do{
                                   clientS = accept(listenS, NULL, NULL);
                                   Sleep(250);  
                         }while (clientS == INVALID_SOCKET && !WM_DESTROY);

As soon as I enter that loop, the title of the GUI changes to "Program Not Responding" (stupid microsoft) and I can't do anything with it obviously. But if you're thinkin' the CPU jumps, it stays at 00

If you need, I'll upload a screenshot on what it looks like when I go into that loop...
Thanks and sorry for wasting your time :o

If you look closely, you'll see that extra bracket was closed half-way through. This is to distinguish it from while (clientS == (INVALID_SOCKET && !WM_DESTROY)), which is totally different.

Alright, now I get it, but it's still hanging, like not responding... I know it's not looping for any events when it goes into the do loop, but I should still be able to at least move the window without the program crashing, shouldn't I?

Ok, I think I've got it, or I'll get it, but I have one little question, first, see the code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

info.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; // should I replace INADDR_ANY with iIp?
info.sin_port = htons(8888);          // should I replace 8888 with iPort?

Basically, should I replace "INADDR_ANY" with the actual Ip address? And replace "8888" with the actual listening port? I couldn't find any answers while googling...
