wxServer: wxIPCObject

IPC overview

A wxServer object represents the server part of a client-server DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) conversation (available under both Windows and UNIX).

wxServer::wxServer
wxServer::Create
wxServer::OnAcceptConnection


wxServer::wxServer

void wxServer(void)

Constructs a server object.


wxServer::Create

Bool Create(char *service)

Registers the server using the given service name. Under UNIX, the string must contain an integer id which is used as an Internet port number. FALSE is returned if the call failed (for example, the port number is already in use).


wxServer::OnAcceptConnection

wxConnection * OnAcceptConnection(char *topic)

When a client calls MakeConnection, the server receives the message and this member is called. The application should derive a member to intercept this message and return a connection object of either the standard wxConnection type, or of a user-derived type. If the topic is "STDIO'', the application may wish to refuse the connection. Under UNIX, when a server is created the OnAcceptConnection message is always sent for standard input and output, but in the context of DDE messages it doesn't make a lot of sense.
