Hello there, My data arrival event gets fired and gets some info and call a send file function. While in side the sendFile function it was to wait for the client to say OK a got this data send some more. The problem comes because the function is called in the data arrival event it never exits it. If it never exits, I'll never get the OK to send more of the file. How can I get to respnd to the data arrival even though a function is still running from the last data Arrival
You sendFile function should exit as soon as one chunk of the file is sent, so that the DataArrival event can fire.
Also note that when debugging Winsock programs, you should not step through the program (F8) - this can stop events from firing when you're pausing.
The Sendfile is waiting for one the varibles to change from the next data arrival event. Would it be OK to put the sendfile function in a timer, enable it when it gets to the sendfile and then shut of the timer when the sendfile is running.
I'm sorry but you've lost me here, could you try to rephrase the question?
I know what Sunny is talking about...I believe what you mentioned about the Timer is a good idea. Simply enable it when the DataArrival event comes in, put your sendFile stuff in the Timer event and disable the timer when it's finished with the current chunk
