CSocketMaster - Problem

**Tantrum3k** · Aug 3rd, 2005, 12:53 AM

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work in a DLL project? (see attachment)

When connecting:

VB Code:

Dim ipStr, portStr As String
ipStr = "66.66.66.66" ' example IP
portStr = 4500
Client.Connect ipStr, portStr

It just sits there and does literally Nothing. No error code, no nothing.

Works just fine in EXE

SocketMaster creates a window to receive messages. I don't think you can do that in an ActiveX DLL.

Oh I see hmm

Is there any other ways to use Winsock in a DLL? (not using the control)

You could use any of the synchronous Winsock functions

Know where to get examples of the Winsock API's send/recv/connect ?
