I was looking around for it but couldn't find it on the botdev portion of the forum, I believe Mesiah explained the different numbers pertaining to winsock like

7=Connection
6=close

or somthing like that, I was wondering if anyone could repost them, I'm using VB6 if you need to know that.

If you hit F2 while in the IDE, there is a lot of information that can be gathered from there, such as the constants you are asking for.  Just change to the winsock library (MSWinsockLib), and click StateConstants and there you are.

basicly if the state isnt 7, you dont want to be sending stuff

0 = closed
1 = open
2 = listening
3 = pending request
4 = resolving host name
5 = done resolving host name
6 = connecting to remote host
7 = connected to remote host
8 = closing connection to remote host
9 = error

Ohh so thats why some ppl use like

if sckbnet.state <> 7 then exit sub

ahh I see ok.

Thanks everyone, answered my questions perfectly

Exactly. Why are you all using numbers? Use the symbolic constants!

lol ok my turn

Cherish this forever!!!! Add to favorites, gogogo.

Just do what kamakazie said... all that stuff is in there mesiah

yeah but i took the time to explain them a little better, somebody who is new to winsock is gonna look at them explinations and be like uhhh ok???

As noodlez said, everything is in there.  It looks as if you just copied was the object browser says.  Example:

[quote]Const sckOpen = 1
   Member of MSWinsockLib.StateConstants
   Socket is currently open[/quote]

The same goes for the error constants.  The object browser is your friend, use it.
