Thanks mwieder,

I'm going to test using my XP on bootcamp and I think the office has an old, dusty pc in storage that should be an XP machine. The ping testing said a lot and helps to narrow down the problem being sockets and not the code, hopefully.

Thanks for the reply. I do not seem to be able to ping other systems. The ports are way up on the list to avoid conflicts: 6060 and above. I do not get any errors, but what works for Windows 7 doesn't in XP. I still have some testing to look at, but any other advice would be great. Keep in mind that...

Howdy, I use sockets to transfer data from one program to another. This works great on Windows 7, but I have been unable to get the programs to work with XP. I run XP as the administrator; in the IDE, it seems the proper sockets are open; I've disabled the firewall and the anti-virus. What am I miss...

Thanks Mark,

That's how I run it now. I was just hoping for a better way to do it in the background.

Hi all, I need to transfer files from one program on one computer to another program on another computer. I have succeeded in doing this with sockets, but it's inconsistent and slow with large media files. I need the transferring to be non-blocking. The rest of the functions between the two programs...

Hi Walt, I did change my open socket to open datagram socket with no success.

Thank you mwieder, I did get some extra ideas from the tutorial. Just to be clear on your answer, here is what I am using now: on scanIPRange pRange put 1 into x repeat 255 put (pRange & "." & x) into tMasterIP probIP tMasterIP add 1 to x end repeat end scanIPRange probIP sends out the message "prob...

Hi Klaus, If you are still there, I would love some hints. What I do now is break up large files (video, images) into smaller byte chunks. I open a socket, send the data, write the data to a newly create file with append on the other computer, then let the origian computer know I am ready for the ne...

I am sending out a request to all possible computers on the network. Currently, I am using a loop that sends the message to each IP address, one at a time. I understand I should be able to use "open datagram socket to ????", but do not know how to write that out. The computers at the other end recei...

Thanks Klaus, I'll look into that.

Howdy, I have a program that needs to request files for transfer from another parent program on the same network. I can transfer the needed files through sockets, but in doing so, the highly dependent user input commands of the program are interrupted; or, on certain user inputs, the transfer of the...

thanks as always Trevor, I had it in there originally, but deleted by accident when I deleted a switch-case script I had in there. I thought the topic was similar, being a customize column question, but I will watch the topics in the future.

Thanks,

I created a custom behavior button and went through the example in the DataGrid manual for truncated the data in a cell. I can get the data to truncate, but only when I attempt to resize the column even though the column starts out to small for the sentence. And then when I refresh the DG, the trunc...

I am new to Rev and have been going through as many forum questions as possible. I am using a DataGrid and having a total footer with the option to choose which columns to total would be perfect for my project. Is there any new information on handling this property? Right now I have a second dg line...

Thanks Trevor, that seemed to have fixed the problem. Not only that, now when I resize the column, the header stays in the center. It was not doing that before and I thought I would have to write a mouseMove handler as well. Thanks for being so accommodating to this novice.
