What is the CVI equivalent to LabVIEW's Create TCP Listener and Wait on Listener?

[CSD]

I'm looking for the CVI equivalent to LabVIEW's "Create TCP Listener" and "Wait on Listener" VIs.  I'm trying to replicate a piece of LabVIEW code in a CVI DLL.  I'm using CVI 7.1 and Windows XP Pro SP2.  I have access to CVI 8.x if it helps any.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

I would check out the Building Network Applications with LabWindows/CVI TCP Support Library tutorial as it does a great job of showing the TCP architecture in CVI.  Then take a look at the TCP examples in the <CVI>\samples\tcp directory.

Basically the client will call the ConnectToTCPServer method to establish a connection to the server. When you make that call, you specify a callback function that will be called when certain events occur such as when there is data to be read (TCP_DATAREADY).  When that event occurs, you call the ClientTCPRead function.

The tutorials and examples are really good so take a look at them.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
