WM_SOCKET

[Robert Collins]

Where is the definition for WM_SOCKET? I have searched for it in the following:

windows.inc
user32.inc
wsock32.inc
kernel32.inc
masm32.inc

but I cannot find it.

As a matter of reference, where are all the WM_ messages located?

[anon]

The WM_ definitions are in Windows.inc
I'm not aware of any WM_SOCKET. I searched
the PSDK to be sure, but did not find anything.

OK, never mind. I found it. It doesn't exist in any of the .inc files. I found the definition of it in the program itself.

Thanks, anyway.

When setting up the API WSAAsyncSelect, you need a wMsg - The message to be received when a network event occurs.
A lot of people just code this as WM_SOCKET equ WM_USER+100, As Robert has already discovered.
i.e.

invoke WSAAsyncSelect,Sock,hWnd,WM_SOCKET,FD_CLOSE+FD_READ+FD_WRITE+FD_CONNECTThis message is then processed by the windows message loop for proper action.
