I've asked this before and never received a response, but whether that's because it's got an obvious answer or because it's not doable, I don't know. Please let me know if you've got any ideas on this problem. I've got a NetLib app that opens and needs to listen on a UDP socket. The thing is, it also needs to be able to receive data from that socket (and write to it, preferably), while my app isn't the active app. In other words, I'd like the user to be able to start my app up, then switch to the calendar manager or address book, etc, but somehow still be able to watch for incoming data on the port that my app had opened, ideally calling a callback in my app (even in an interrupt context or alarm context) so I could note the message. I've looked in the Knowledge base for docs on this sort of thing with no luck. Periodically, though, I've come across references to background tasks (like clipper?), and certainly the IR lib is able to wakeup interested parties when data comes in via the IR port so it sure seems the support is there. Any ideas? SrmSetWakeupHandler()? Background tasks? Anything?
