What's the Connection ID data type for TCP/IP???

[Hiroshi Shimase]

Hi, all.

I'm making VIs for SMTP but just stacked by the Connection ID data type
for TCP/IP. I tried to connect several data types but line is still
broken...

Can somebody tell me what's the data type is and where is it on
palette???


Dan,

A connection ID is a LabVIEW-specific datatype that acts as a handle to a
currently-open TCP/IP connection. You can get one by using either the "TCP
Listen.vi" or "TCP Open Connection" VI on the TCP/IP palette, assuming that
you've got a valid client to connect with.

If you want to compare your efforts with someone else's, there's an example
program in the National Instruments Example Programs Database that provides
a whole suite of SMTP VIs for communicating with a POP mail server:

The easiest way to create the TCP connection Controls is to Place you VI
on the Block diagram, and then go to the terminal that you want wired
and Right Cklick and select Create Control.
As an alternative, If you want to use the Panel, Select Control-->Path &
Refnum--> Network Connection Refnum. The data 'Type' is specific to the
Network RefNum.
