Sorry, you are right.
I am using non blocking sockets (lNet library), no visual package, on the
wince-arm
side, attempting to communicate with a non blocking (Delphi) socket on my
PC.
Everything works fine (did a lot of data send and receive) except that
fpconnect with correct address (PC computer name) and port number still
returns
-1.
....
which always returned TRUE, even when fpconnect fails;
Any idea as to what I may check (beside the return code of fpconnect which
does not work)
to see if the conneccion actually took place?
Thanks
that would defeat the idea of a none-blocking connection.
none-blocking does not only relate to reading/writing data, but also to
making the connection, which also could take several seconds and much
longer.
A none blocking connection will return true in the connect event, if all
local requirements where met. If you want to wait for the connection to
take place (including the full timeout, if it fails) you should use a
blocking socket for that.
