Hi Serge,
No, you don't do this with the idle handler. You could create a
button, which which accepts connections on a partular port. As soon as
data is detected, a message is sent to the button, which triggers a
handler. For example:
on mouseUp
accept connections on port 1234 with message "foo"
end mouseUp
on foo theIP,theMsg
beep
put "You recieved the message:" && quote & theMsg & quote &&
"from:" && theIP && "at" && the long time into fld "Received Messages"
close socket theIP
end foo
On the client machine, you could create a stack with a button,
containing the following script:
constant kSock = "192.168.0.1:1234"
on mouseUp
open socket to kSock
write "hello" to socket kSock
close socket kSock
end mouseUp
This is a good way to start experimenting. Once this works, you could
modify your scripts to keep the connection alive. You do this by
reading from socket theIP with message "foo" again, instead of closing
the socket. However, you need to make sure that the socket is closed
if the client gives a signal to do so.

I want to create une simple Chat application between 2 users in a
LOCAL NETWORK
For that I create 2 stacks one for each user
I create fields to store the messages to be sent and to be received
I create controls to Open and close socketsocket
I can create control to write to socket (for sending messages)
But How to receive the messages ?
Yes i can create a button for reading from socket , but I want to
receive automatically the messages that have been sent
It would be possible using an Idle handler ( on idle ,read from
socket -end idle) but this would slow down my application
Is there another way
Thanks for help
Serge BRAMI
