WD Using sockets Training (WINDEV): WD Using sockets
[ + ] This example presents the use of the "Socket" functions of WINDEV in Client/Server.
The following topics are presented in this example:
1/ How to connect to a socket
2/ How to accept a request for connection
3/ How to write or read on a socket
Summary of the example supplied with WINDEV:
This example presents the different functions for socket management supplied with WINDEV. To use this example, a first instance of the example must be started in "server" mode. Then, by specifying the name of the computer that will be used as server and a nickname, you can connect to this application in "client" mode. You now have the ability to send messages to all the connected users. In this example, a thread and a socket are associated with each connection.
