Hi Dave,

I don't have time to write sample code right now, but one approach would be:

- set the socketTimeoutInterval to something reasonable
- make a 'connectToServerApp' handler that opens one socket, using the params passed to it by 'startClient'
- let 'StartClient' do this once for each line in your server list:
     send ("connectToServerApp" && tOneIpAddress) to stack in 0 ticks
- make a 'socketTimeout' handler than resends the 'connectToServerApp' cmd (with params) to stack in x ticks
- make a 'socketError' that notifies you of connection failures
- when the openSockets contains all the addresses in your original list, you're done

Hi All,

I have a number of applications that communicate with each other using TCP/IP Sockets. For a given application, I want to be able to connect it to a number of "server" applications, however the "server" apps make or may not be running, so what I want to be able to do is to issue an open socket to a "server" application and if the connection is made add it to a "connected" table and if not, carry on the to next server, but try to open the socket again at a later time.

I can't seem to be able to get my head around the code needed to do this!

Basically I have a Function that gets called with a list of the IP Addresses in the for - aa.bb.cc.dd:port and a ConnectionID, I want to be able to open a socket to each IP/Port with the specified ConnectionID . The function definition for this is as follows:

function StartClient theConnectToServerList,theConnectionID

theConnectToServerList is a list of the following

192.168.1.100:6000
192.168.1.100:6002
192.168.1.100:6004

etc.

Any ideas on how achieve this gracefully would be greatly appreciated!

All the Best
Dave
