Hey, Can someone give me a good method of checking if a connection has been completed with direct play 8 ? I do not want to start sending information to the server beforre I know a connection has been established (connected - not just found on a list). Or does DP just que the messages for me and send them once the connection has been established? I look forward to a reply, thanks for your time, Dachande

Once you''re connected a "connectcomplete" event will be triggered. Unfortunatly on some firewalls this event is triggered but the connection is lost immediatly, so any sent after you think you''re connected will fail (and error out)... this might be solved with some kind of return value, but never looked into it yet

I was unable to find connectComplete in the docs... would it be possible for you to give me the exact message name ?

Thanks,

Dachande

I''m a VB programmer, but I''ve searched for you in the C++ docs...

[Contents]DirectPlay->DirectPlay c/c++ reference->callback functions->PFNDPNMESSAGEHANDLER

and there you have "DPN_MSGID_CONNECT_COMPLETE"
