Hello Francois, Is there a way to tell the number of bytes available without actually retrieving the data? At some point I'd like to know if there is data available but do not want to actually remove the data from twsocket's buffer. This is because I want to open a remote socket and make sure it's in wsConnected state, then I'll retrieve data and send it through the remote socket. The idea is to skip OnDataAvailable if no data is available, and when there is some data, connect to a remote server, skip more OnDataAvailable until the remote socket is connected, then actually retrieve data and send the data via remote socket.
Or is it a bad idea to do so? An alternative way is to call Receive() and allocate memory and cache the data into memory before remote socket is available. But is this necessary? -- Best regards, Jack Sunday, January 22, 2006, 4:24:57 AM, you wrote: > Instead of ReceiveStr, call Receive to be able to get winsock.recv return > code.
