A wxTCPClient object represents the client part of a client-server conversation.
It emulates a DDE-style protocol, but uses TCP/IP which is available on most platforms.
A DDE-based implementation for Windows is available using wxDDEClient.
To create a client which can communicate with a suitable server, you need to derive a class from wxTCPConnection and another from wxTCPClient. The custom wxTCPConnection class will intercept communications in a 'conversation' with a server, and the custom wxTCPServer is required so that a user-overridden wxTCPClient::OnMakeConnection() member can return a wxTCPConnection of the required class, when a connection is made.
Public Member Functions | |
wxTCPClient () | |
Constructs a client object. | |
virtual wxConnectionBase * | MakeConnection (const wxString &host, const wxString &service, const wxString &topic) |
Tries to make a connection with a server specified by the host (a machine name under Unix), service name (must contain an integer port number under Unix), and a topic string. | |
virtual wxConnectionBase * | OnMakeConnection () |
The type of wxTCPConnection returned from a MakeConnection() call can be altered by deriving the OnMakeConnection member to return your own derived connection object. | |
virtual bool | ValidHost (const wxString &host) |
Returns true if this is a valid host name, false otherwise. |
wxTCPClient::wxTCPClient | ( | ) |
Constructs a client object.
virtual wxConnectionBase* wxTCPClient::MakeConnection | ( | const wxString & | host, |
const wxString & | service, | ||
const wxString & | topic | ||
) | [virtual] |
Tries to make a connection with a server specified by the host (a machine name under Unix), service name (must contain an integer port number under Unix), and a topic string.
If the server allows a connection, a wxTCPConnection object will be returned.
The type of wxTCPConnection returned can be altered by overriding the OnMakeConnection() member to return your own derived connection object.
virtual wxConnectionBase* wxTCPClient::OnMakeConnection | ( | ) | [virtual] |
The type of wxTCPConnection returned from a MakeConnection() call can be altered by deriving the OnMakeConnection member to return your own derived connection object.
By default, a wxTCPConnection object is returned.
The advantage of deriving your own connection class is that it will enable you to intercept messages initiated by the server, such as wxTCPConnection::OnAdvise(). You may also want to store application-specific data in instances of the new class.
virtual bool wxTCPClient::ValidHost | ( | const wxString & | host | ) | [virtual] |
Returns true if this is a valid host name, false otherwise.
