CSocket in ATL COM DLL!

Did you see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q173/9/74.ASP ("HOWTO: Add MFC Support to an ATL Project")?

I'm using VC++ 6, and the MFC Support checkbox was selected when the ATL project was created.  Actually I use a MFC function in ATL STDMETHODIMP method, AfxMessageBox, which works fine.  

>>m_pSocket->Create(<PORT NUMBER>) would return FALSE.

call GetLastError() in order to check what cause the error.

I suggest you use the fun in winsock2.h,my project is about communicator ,I do:
//in you ATL project
//in stdafx.h you must include
#include <windows.h>
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <atlwin.h>
#include <atlcom.h>
#define WM_CONNECT 6001

//in your Communicator.h
#include "winsock2.h"
CCommunicator::CCommunicator()
{
WSAData wsaData1;
int nResult;
nResult = WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(1,1),&wsaData1);
Create( NULL, CWindow::rcDefault, _T("Window"),
               WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE );
//create the window ,this will set m_hWnd
}

class CCommunicator : public CWindowImpl<CCommunicator>  
{
    public:
     SOCKET m_sock;
     CCommunicator();
     virtual ~CCommunicator();
     ////////////////////////////////////
public:
     LRESULT Analyse(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM  
                        lParam,BOOL& bHandled);
     LRESULT Connect();
     BEGIN_MSG_MAP( CMcbWindow )
          MESSAGE_HANDLER( WM_CONNECT, Analyse)
     END_MSG_MAP()

}
class CCommunicator::Connect()
{
 int nResult;
 m_sock = socket( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP );
 struct     sockaddr_in you;
     you.sin_family = AF_INET;
     you.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("202.220.96.195");
     you.sin_port = htons(20001);
////////////////////////////////////////////////
 nResult = connect(m_sock,(LPSOCKADDR)&you,sizeof(you));
 WSAAsyncSelect( m_sock , this->m_hWnd , 0, 0 );
 nResult = WSAAsyncSelect( m_sock,this->m_hWnd ,
         WM_CONNECT, D_READ|FD_WRITE|FD_CLOSE);
return 0;
}

LRESULT CCommunicator::Analyse(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL &bHandled)
{
     int nFlags = LOWORD(wParam);
          int nError = HIWORD(lParam);
          int nMessage = LOWORD(lParam);
          if(nMessage == FD_WRITE)
          {
             return 0;
          }
          if(nMessage == FD_CLOSE)
          {
             return 0;
          }
          if( nMessage == FD_READ)
               return 0;//recv the data
          return 0;
}

//you must append ws2_32.lib in setting

how about?

sorry,the CCommunicator constructor should be after the class CCommunicator :public CWindoeImpl<CCommunicator>.

cococut:

My control is windowless.  Is it necessary to create a Window handle in this CWindowImpl<CCommunicator>?  Can this CCommunicator sending and receiving char array data with other winsock?  Can it fire events from within?  This is a new and unknown territory for me.

Cheers :-)

skyrider_tieus,
Did yu try to call GetLastError()? If so, what error code do you get?

--EC--

elcaptitan:

I tried GetLastError() function.  It was rather funny.  My code like this

if (m_pSocket->Create(<PORT NUMBER>)
    m_pSocket->listen();
else {
 
  PVOID lpMsgBuf;
  FormatMessage(
  FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
  FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
  FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
   NULL,
   GetLastError(),
   0, // Default language
    (LPTSTR) &lpMsgBuf,
    0,
    NULL
   );

   AfxMessageBox((LPCTSTR)lpMsgBuf);
 
}  

The Message said "The operation has completed successfully" despite the failing of creating socket.  If I add more codes  
m_pSocket->listen();
and then GetLastError(),  it would say the Either the application did not call WSAStartup or WSAStartup fails.
It seems that in this case GetLastError() wouldn't catch the exception.

Cheers!

Guys:

I found the answer to my question.  Need to include AfxSocketInit() in the project's InitInstance().
This solves the problem.  I'll move this question to PAQ.

thanks for all your participation.
