Print Page - timeout parameter for net-receive-udp

Title: timeout parameter for net-receive-udp
Post by: HPW on June 10, 2004, 01:07:38 AM

Can net-receive-udp get a additional parameter 'timeout' ?

Then it wood listen to incomming UDP, but when timeout is reached it wood come back from the call with some return-message.

Problem: When I call the function from the DLL the app becomes busy and blocked. It wood be nice to get the control back in a time-interval and restart it when needed.

Thanks for that, another idea would be to use newLISP.EXE as a seperate process to get a always active message-receiver which runs independent of the main-process. The message-receiver buffers the incoming messages in files and the mainprocess can read them when it has time for this action.

I will that give a try too.

I have made a new EXE with (link ) with a UdpListener.

This I can start hidden from neobook and it logs all incoming messages inside a choosable Directory.

I think this is more elegant, since the risk of loosing incoming messages is smaller.
