Hi, im using winsock 2, asynchronous sockets in c++ MFC. My problem is that I need to put a case WM_ONSOCKET (WM_USER+1) inside the message handler. But MFC hides the messenger handler, so what would I do? Thanks

Hi,
If I understand correctly your problem is that you are lacking a function to handle the message you defined.
Here is what you can do :
Use the ON_MESSAGE macro in your message map like so :


in the header use the following prototype for your handler:


Last thing you need to do is naturally implelement the function in the .cpp file.

Hope this help and good luck! [smile]

thanks, i think i got it working, but because this is my first time using winsock in c++, i am wondering if there is anyway that i could test that the:

LRESULT CHostDlg::OnWinsock(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

is actually working, that is the wParam and lParam are receiving variables.

thanks

Of course there is a way! [smile]
use the WSAGETSELECTEVENT macro on LPARAM to see the type of notification you received.
Actually, I think it would be best if you just read this , it really covers what you are looking for.
