Re: Winsock Control (listen) hangs in IDE ?

I just tried using the Catalyst SocketWrench Control 3.6,
but it hangs exactly the same way.

So this must be the IDE that is having the problem?

I have completly uninstalled/reinstalled Visual Studios 6
making sure the folder was removed as well.

This did not seem to help.

Im lost :c(

Re: Winsock Control (listen) hangs in IDE ?

Are you running this in Windows 98? Windows XP? I saw the reply where you
said you are running VB 6. Are you running with the lastest Service Pack
for VB6? I am running with Windows XP, VB 6 with the latest service pack
and I can run this code just fine with no problems. When I select the
Winsock control in VB6, the actual title in the Components window is
Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0 (SP5). Is yours different? If so, I'd
suggest getting the latest service pack for Visual Studio and installing it
and see if that helps any.

Re: Winsock Control (listen) hangs in IDE ?

Yes, I was a little ignorant i not including this information.

I run WindowsXP, with VS6.0 SP5 installed.
I have tried running it with and without sp5 during reinstallations but to
no avail.

I found out that this problem is not bound to the "Listen" method, but to
the "Connect" method as well. I also tested this problem using UDP, and i
get the same problem.

On a side note, when i changed it to UDP, it worked without problems as many
times as I needed it to, until i restarted the IDE, and tried it again. At
this point it froze as before. I had the same thing happen during variations
of the TCP server as well as client. If i try to flip/flop the protocol
around, it doesn't always work. Its completly random.

I did test out a VB program that did not use any components, but instead a
class/module winsock interface. This did not seem to hang the IDE.

So is my VB having a problem with network components?

*still lost*

So, can you email me the code you are using. The complete code this time?
Just save out the project in it's entirety and zip it up with WinZip or
WinRar or something and slap it to me. undrhil@cfl.rr. com ... just put VB
Project Code as the subject so I don't automatically delete it, ok? Also,
you didn't tell me if the control you are using has the (SP5) tag at the end
of its name in the Components dialog.

Thanks,
Ken

Yes the winsock component had the SP5 appended.

I sent you the vbp and frm file.
Steps to recreate my error:

*Load project
*Hit F5 to run program
*Click "Host" many times
*Click "Exit"
*Hit F5 to run program
*Click "Host" once
*It freezed at this point

Hope this helps....

OK, I got the file. I have loaded it into VB6.

By 'many times' how many times are you meaning? Have you tried just
clicking your Host button twice and exiting and seeing if the IDE hangs?
Also, does it hang the program itself once compiled? Finally, is there any
functionality reason for clicking the host button 'many times'?

The compiled program itself does not hang at all, it works just fine.
The IDE is what hangs after the second time i run the program within the
IDE.
And as far as functionality reason for clicking the host button, other than
just start/stop the winsock service, there's no reason for 'many times'.
Just reassurance the the program is responding...
