Timeout and winsock

I'm just starting to use winsock and couldn't for the life of me come up with an effective way to detect timeout on connection.

Can anyone help me?

you pretty much have to implement one for yourself with an extra timer control,

then somewhere in your code you go into a feedback loop waiting for xxx=true like

VB Code:

'connect and stuff
timer1.enabled =true
 
while not downloadcomplete
  sleep 60
  doevents
  if timer1.enabled = false then 
    msgbox "timed out"
  end if 
wend
 
sub timer1_timer()
    timer1.enabled =false
end sub

oops forgot after msgbox exit loop

Thanks for the help. I came up with a similar idea and it works pretty well.
