Winsock - Testing whether data is being sent.

Hi,

Anyone know how to test to see whether data is being sent through a winsock control?

For example:

Private Sub cmdSendData_Click()
Winsock1.SendData "Hello, please help me"
End Sub

Private Sub cmdSendMoreData_Click()
If Winsock1 <> Sending Data Then
Winsock1.SendData "Ok"
Else
MsgBox "Data is currently being sent."
End If
End Sub

Anyone know how to do the 'If Winsock1 <> Sending Data Then' bit?

Thanks a lot

When i was writing my peer-to-peer file server, i just declared a whole crapload of booleans...

(GEN DECS)
DIM SENDDATA AS BOOLEAN

Then all you have to do is trigger the boolean

(WHEN SENDING THE DATA)
LET SENDDATA = TRUE
WINSOCK1.SENDATA DATA
...

After that you use the winsock control's "send complete" event

(WINSOCK1 - SENDCOMPLETE EVENT SUB)
IF SENDDATA = TRUE THEN LET SENDDATA = FALSE

...This may seem all well and good if you have 1 or two data exchanges that you need to check on, but when you get up to about 12 the whole thing becomes un-manageable.

If anyone has a better way of doing this then LET ME KNOW VIA E-MAIL... PLEASE!

Hi! Lympex, why not juz make used of the existing Winsock1_SendComplete() and Winsock1_SendProgress(ByVal bytesSent As Long, ByVal bytesRemaining As Long) events in the Winsock control? I think this can resolve your problem right.
