Question

Can someone provide just a simple example of how to use wxSockets write, because every time I try to use it to write to a connection I get windows coming up with this program has stopped working crap and the only thing I’m doing is using wxSocketBase::Write. Or does anyone know why it is failing?

I have even tried to hardcode the buffer that is supposed to be written with something like this:

wxSocketClient * sockConn = new wxSocketClient();

wxString url = "localhost";
wxIPV4address addr;
addr.Hostname(url);
addr.Service(6667);


sockConn->Connect(addr);


wxString test = wxT("testing");
    sockConn->Write(test.mb_str(), wxStrlen(test));



sockConn->Close();
delete sockConn;`

And every time I call write it just fails out

Also is there an easy way to get wxString to work with wxSocket, or should it be easy after I figure out what’s going on here?

Right now its a lot easier to just use winsock to do all this stuff and well that’s not why I have wxWidgets, I got it to make life easier.

Yes, I can:

#include <wx/wx.h>
#include <wx/socket.h>
#include <iostream>

int main () {
  wxInitialize();
  wxSocketClient * sockConn = new wxSocketClient(wxSOCKET_WAITALL);
  wxString url = wxT("localhost");
  wxIPV4address addr;
  addr.Hostname(url);
  addr.Service(6667);
  if(!sockConn->Connect(addr, true)) {
    std::cout << "Connect failed\n";
    return 1;
  }
  wxString test = wxT("testing\n");
  sockConn->Write(test.mb_str(), wxStrlen(test));
  sockConn->Close();
  delete sockConn;
  wxUninitialize();
  return 0;
}
