Checks the existence of socket.
Remarks:
- To check the connection validity, use SocketClientInfo to check the IP address of client socket and the port number.
- The socket exists as long as the created socket was not closed by SocketClose.
- If the communication is interrupted, SocketExist may still return a positive result even if the dialog is stopped.
// Check the existence before the creation
IF SocketExist("MySocket") = False THEN
IF SocketCreate("MySocket", 8000) = False THEN
Error("Creation error" + ErrorInfo(errMessage))
END
ELSE
SocketRead("MySocket", False)
END
