VB6 question:

I have a bug in a project.using mswinsck.ocx. when I make a connection to a server everything is fine, but when I type ‘bye’ or ‘quit’ to end the session on the server, my project still says connected and if I attempt to send another command before I ‘reset ‘ the app and set the value in the‘connection ‘ property of the ocx to false, it throws out a ‘wrong protocol or connection state ‘ error and crashes.

Does anyone know how I could check for a connection and reset the connection state property of this ocx to zero, before the data attempts to send? it checks this property before it sends now.

I'm assuming your using winsock control in vb6 so maybe if your using winsock make a command button like this. Or do a if statement. So if it sees a "Bye" in your text box it will do a winsock1.close. That's my guess really quick and dirty.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.Close

End Sub


Check out www.vbip.com I think they have the answer in one of there tutorials

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

Code:

---

Private Sub clWinsuck_Close()
If stateConnected = True Then
If clWinsuck.State = sckClosing Then
clWinsuck.Close
stateConnected = False
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks for your input. while searching vbip and trying to rewrite smirc's code this came to me.
So far it seems to work.
If sckTterm.State = 7 Then
sckTterm.SendData txtCommand.Text + vbNewLine
else
yada
yada
yada
End If
