FAQ - Why won't my Internet Pack VBXes load into VB?
Why won't my Internet Pack VBXes load into VB?

Frequently Asked Questions

The VBXes are looking for a file called WINSOCK.DLL. This DLL should be in your Windows directory (most DLLs are located in your Windows\System directory -- this one is an exception). Look for WINSOCK.DLL.  If it's not in your Windows directory, we recommend moving it there. Be sure to write down where it was, in case something goes wrong.

Also, check the date on your WINSOCK.DLL. If it's 1994 or before, you should look into getting a later version.


FAQ - Why do I get a GPF when I try to unload my form (or control) from the Done event?
Why do I get a GPF when I try to unload my form (or control) from the Done event?

Frequently Asked Questions

This is not uncommon in many controls. If the form containing the control is unloaded but the control's C++ code for the event has to reference the control, the GPF will occur because the control is no longer available after it is has been unloaded. The solution is to enable a timer in the Done event and have the Timer unload the form (or control).


FAQ - With which TCP/IP stacks have your Internet controls been tested?
With which TCP/IP stacks have your Internet controls been tested?

Frequently Asked Questions

The majority of our internal testing is done on either NT's or Win95's standard stacks. We also utilize a 3.1 machine running Trumpet Winsock.

As part of our beta program, the controls wind up on a variety of stacks like Novell (known to have differences in Winsock, but should be OK with the latest patches from Novell), WFWG (also has a known problem that can cause FTP trouble, but MS has a patch for that product as well (article ID Q122544)).

The controls support the standard Winsock interface, so in general, the 16-bit environments that do not come with a default stack (I.e., Windows 3.x) may involve a bit more setup, but as long as some reputable stack is used, there shouldn't be any problems.


FAQ - How do I enable/disable the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking connect prompt when my application issues
How do I enable/disable the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking connect prompt when my application issues a Connect method?

Frequently Asked Questions

The fact that the DUN pops up when attempting to establish a network connection is a Win95 OS setting. To change this behavior, choose Dial Up Networking from "My Computer", and select "Settings..." from the "Connections" menu. Set the desired value in the "When establishing a network connection" frame.


FAQ - Why won't my Internet Pack VBX load?
Why won't my Internet Pack VBX load?

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually, the Internet VBXes won't load when the WINSOCK.DLL is missing.  Make sure you have a current WINSOCK.DLL in the Windows or Windows\System sub-dir. Some versions of Windows 3.x WinSocks may actually require a TCP/IP connection.


FAQ - How do I convert my code from BLOCKING (Synchronous) to NON-BLOCKING (Asynchronous)?
How do I convert my code from BLOCKING (Synchronous) to NON-BLOCKING (Asynchronous)?

Frequently Asked Questions

A quick fix for converting Blocking code to non-blocking code is as follows:

    Blocking=False

In the Declarations of the Form, add:

    Private fDone as Boolean

In the Done event of the control set the fDone flag as shown:

    Private Sub FTP1_Done()
        fDone = True
    End Sub

Then, when invoking a method, just loop until the Done event sets the fDone flag.

    fDone = False
    mMail1.Connect
    Do
        DoEvents
        'here is where your application
        'can do other things
    Loop Until (fDone)

Note: you may want to set a timer in the loop so it will not loop endlessly should some problem occur. Also, depending upon your code you may want to conditionally set the fDone flag in the AsyncError event.


FAQ - How can I detect whether someone has entered an IP or host name?
How can I detect whether someone has entered an IP or host name?

Frequently Asked Questions

You can use the function (below) to check for a host name or IP address.

' This Function receives a string argument and
' validates whether the string is a valid IP value,
' by verifying that it is in the format of w.x.y.z and
' that each octet is between 0 and 255

FAQ - What is the meaning of Error 20002 "unexpected server response"?
What is the meaning of Error 20002 "unexpected server response"?

Frequently Asked Questions

The control has issued some command and the server did not accept it.  It could be anything from an improperly formatted e-mail address to an unimplemented command on the server.  You'll have to enable debugging to see what the command and reply are.


FAQ - Can you recommend any good books that will help me understand Internet programming better?
Can you recommend any good books that will help me understand Internet programming better?

Frequently Asked Questions

Any good book on TCP/IP would be helpful.  From personal experience, tech support recommends "TCP/IP" by Dr. Sidnie Feit, published by McGraw-Hill .  It is not written from a programming standpoint, but does include everything you'd want to know about the lower levels of the OSI stack (including TCP/UDP/IP, etc.).


FAQ - I'm unclear on blocking. Can you explain it to me?
I'm unclear on blocking. Can you explain it to me?

Frequently Asked Questions

When your application requests data from a network connection, it is hard to predict how long it will take before the data arrives and the call can complete. As a programmer, you have to determine whether to wait for the outcome of the call, or return immediately to your application and get the data when the data arrives.

Calls that wait, are called blocking calls. Because the call must complete before the application continues, blocking calls are also referred to as synchronous calls.

Calls that return control to your application immediately are called non-blocking calls. Since your application can perform tasks while the call is retrieving the data, non-blocking calls are also referred to as asynchronous calls.

Mabry Internet controls support both blocking and non-blocking calls.

It is important to note that even when using blocking calls, Windows can send event messages (such as Timer events, mouse clicks, etc.) to your application and it can respond to them. This can result in errors. It is the responsibility of the programmer to minimize the likelyhood of these situations (such as disabling any Timers or command buttons that will interrupt the call) and handle any errors should such conditions arise.

Error handling is very important when issuing calls to a network. Always use some method of On Error handling when invoking blocking calls. For non-blocking calls, normal On Error handling is required in addition to responding to the AsyncError event.


FAQ - Should I use blocking or non-blocking calls?
Should I use blocking or non-blocking calls?

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your application. See the explanation on blocking calls for a complete description of blocking vs. non-blocking.


FAQ - Why do I keep getting the error "Busy executing asynchronous command"?
Why do I keep getting the error "Busy executing asynchronous command"?

Frequently Asked Questions

A call has been invoked but a previous call has not been completed yet. Either set Blocking mode to true or wait for the Done event before issuing subsequent commands.

It is important to note that even when using blocking calls, Windows can send event messages (such as Timer events, mouse clicks, etc.) to your application and it can respond to them. This can result in errors. It is the responsibility of the programmer to minimize the likelyhood of these situations (such as disabling any Timers or command buttons that will interrupt the call) and handle any errors should such conditions arise.

Part	   	Description

object	Required. A Finger control.

Remarks

This method displays the About Box for this control which includes copyright information.


Action Property

See Also            Frequently Asked Questions

Description

Causes control to initiate a command / method.

Syntax

object.Action [= action ]

The syntax of the Action property has these parts:

Part	   	Description

object	A Finger control.

action	An integer that determines the action / method for the control to execute.

Remarks

Setting this property makes the Finger control perform an action.  The action depends on the value set.  Finger accepts the following:

Value	   	Description

1	Retrieves the information (if any) for the user, specified in the Query property, on the host specified in the Host property.  This works just like the GetFinger method.

Data Type

Integer (enumerated)


Blocking Property

See Also            Frequently Asked Questions

Description

Determines if methods or actions are blocking.

Syntax

object.Blocking [= blocking ]

The syntax of the Blocking property has these parts:

Part	   	Description

object	A Finger control.

blocking	A boolean flag that determines if the control waits for completion of an operation (True), or returns control to the program immediately (False).

Remarks

If this property is set to True, any commands using either the Action property or any of the methods will not return to your code until the command completes.  In other words, the command will be handled synchronously.

If this property is false, any commands are handled asynchronously.  They return to you immediately.  You are notified of completion with the Done event.  When the user-interface requires that the user be able to cancel file transfers, it is recommended that Blocking be set to False so that your program can respond quickly to user actions.

Data Type

Integer (boolean)


Done Event

See Also            Frequently Asked Questions

Description

This event procedure is fired when the control retrieves the requested data.

Syntax

Sub object_Done([index As Integer,] errornumber As Integer)

The syntax of the Done event has these parts:

Part	   	Description

object	A Finger control.

index	An integer that identifies a control if it's in a control array.

errornumber	An integer that specifies an error, if any.

Remarks

This event fires when the data request completes.  If the errornumber parameter is zero, the nickname / Finger data is in the Response property array.


GetFinger Method

See Also            Frequently Asked Questions

Description

Gets user information from specified server.

Syntax

object.GetFingerhost,blocking

The syntax of the GetFinger method has these parts:

Part	   	Description

object	Required. A Finger control.

host	Optional. A string expression containing the address of the host to which the Finger query is to be made.  The Host property is used if this parameter is not specified.

blocking	Optional. A boolean flag that determines if the method should return immediately (False) or if the control should wait until it retrieves the requested data from the host (True).

Remarks

This method requests the user information from the host (specified in host).  If no host is specified, the Host property is used.

This method can be called in one of two ways: blocking or non-blocking.  This is determined by the blocking parameter or, if the blocking parameter is not specified, the Blocking property is used.

If blocking, the Finger control does not return control to your program until it retrieves the queried data from the host specified or until it times-out.

With non-blocking the control returns immediately.  The control fires the Done event upon completion (good or bad).  Sometimes, with the non-blocking method, an error is reported (10035) immediately.  This is only a warning from the WinSock layer and can be treated as normal (ignored).

If this method completes successfully, the Response and ResponseCount properties hold the results of the search.

You may never distribute the LIC file.  You may not change the product in any way that removes or changes the requirement of a license file.

We encourage the use of our controls as constituent controls when the compound controls you create are an integral part of your application.  But we don't allow distribution of our controls as constituents of other controls when the compound control is not part of an application.  The reason we need to have this restriction is that without it someone might decide to use our control as a constituent, add some trivial (or even non-trivial) enhancements and then sell the compound control.  Obviously there would be little difference between that and just plain reselling our control.

If you have purchased the source code, you may not re-distribute the source code either (nor may you copy it into your own project).  Mabry Software retains the copyright to the source code.

Your license is transferable.  The original purchaser of the product must make the transfer request.  Contact us for further information.

The sample versions of our products are intended for evaluation purposes only.  You may not use the sample version to develop completed applications.
