Winsock help needed - AGAIN
Hello there.
I'm having a little trouble on grasping some probably basic Winsock knowledge and I need your help.
Ok i'm making a client/server application for my network. What it does is the client issues commands to the server (the other computer).
But this is where a problem arises - I want to issue more then one command but i'm not sure on how to go about it.
Heres the code I have (on the client)
VB Code:
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Winsock.SendData "OpenCD"
End Sub
Private Sub Command4_Click()
Winsock.SendData "CloseCD"
End Sub
server:-
VB Code:
Private Sub Winsock_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strData As String
Winsock.GetData strData
If strData = "OpenCD" Then
OpenCD
End If
End sub
Sub OpenCD()
mciSendString "set CDAudio door open", 0, 127, 0
End Sub
What I need to know is a way of letting the server recognise what command its received - In this case "OpenCD" or "CloseCD".
How would I go about doing this? Surely not making new strings for each command?
