Re: [twsocket] TWSocket.Dup() ?
Hello Michael, You dont need to replicate it. Just leave the Socket where it is. In your second form you can have a socket that points to the other socket. Dont drop one on the second form, but just (I called the socket Cli): SecondForm.Cli := MainForm.Cli; and then you call all in the Cli of the second form witch points to the Cli of the mail form. An object variable is just a pointer to the actual object, so you can as many pointers to the same object as you wants. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Saturday, January 7, 2006, 00:58, Michael Preslar wrote: I have my main form which has a TWSocket.. All is well. Now, I'd like to add another form (visibility can be toggled on or off .. and in truth, its just a little chat window).. I'm thinking that I need to replicate the TWSocket from the main form onto the chat form, so my charform.sendbutton.onclick() can chatform.socket.sendstr(inputbox.text); Is this the right way to go? If so, whats the better way to make this work? -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] TWSocket.Dup() ?
What I ended up doing (Which I'll spit out here just in case anyone else ever runs into the same situation .. Or maybe theres a better way): First define 2 variables.. chatform.socket : pointer; chatform.connected : boolean; Then set the chatform variables mainform.ConnectToServerClick() if not assigned(chatform.socket) then chatform.socket := @WSocket1; mainform.WSocket1.OnSessionConnected() chatform.connected := true; mainform.WSocket1.OnSessionClosed() chatform.connected := false; Then, finally, in the chatform, when the user does something and needs to send data.. if assigned(socket) and connected then TWSocket(socket).sendstr(s); Haven't stress tested it or anything yet, but it works well in my testing so far.
