SocketCreateInfrared (Function)

In french: SocketCréeInfraRouge

Creates a socket that is using the infrared port. A socket is a communication resource used by the applications to communicate between computers regardless of the network type.

Remark: This function must be called on the server used for the communication. If the client computer is using a WINDEV application to connect to this socket, this application will have to use SocketConnectInfrared.

Example

IF SocketCreateInfrared("Server", "Service") = False THEN
Error("Creation error" + ErrorInfo(errMessage))
END

Syntax

<Result> = SocketCreateInfrared(<Socket name> , <Service name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the function was successful,
False otherwise. To find out the error details, use ErrorInfo.

<Socket name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name that will be given to the socket. This name will be used by all socket functions.

<Service name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name that will be given to the service. This name will be used in SocketConnectInfrared.

Remarks

Re-creating a socket

If a socket is not closed properly by SocketClose (restarting the computer for example), re-creating the socket may take quite a long time. Indeed, you will have to wait until the socket is freed by the system.

Creating a socket

To create a socket on a server, use SocketCreate.

IRDA protocol

SocketCreateInfrared uses the IRDA protocol (Infrared Data Association).

Windows limit

The maximum number of infrared sockets used simultaneously cannot exceed 80.
