Hmm yes I thought of something like this...
But this yields in my next question: How can I disconnect from a server? I think there doesn't exist a command like disconnect(). So how is the best way to do this?

Yes I know closesocket(), but I thought that there might be a better way, because when I call closesocket() then I also have to create the socket again, before calling the connect function.
But anyway thank you both.

You're welcome (from led mike)

That is part of the overhead of using that method.
I recommend:
Also follow led mike's link into Graceful Shutdown, Linger Options, and Socket Closure[^] for more general info.
Then check out DisconnectEx[^] for disconnecting a socket and reusing it (on XP+).
Cheers,

Ah thank you a lot, the first link was very informative.
That DisconnectEx function looks cute, but I think I'll avoid it because it only runs on XP or higher. I think I use shutdown, and if I understood that article right, I have also to "create" the socket (by a call to socket(...)) again, when I want to "reuse" it for a new connection.

Hi,
How do I prevent the escape key, when pressed, from closing a dialog window?
Thanks

By default the ESC key causes a WM_COMMAND IDCANCEL message to be sent to the dialog proc.
You could catch this message and do nothing. *EDIT* dumb answer
Maybe look for WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP messages for the ESC key and do nothing in response.

No, it doesn't.

What about not dispatching the message if its due to escape key pressed ? (Handling PreTranslateMessage ).

I guess I was confused by the documented handling of the ESC key which states "Sends a WM_COMMAND
message to the dialog box procedure. The wParam parameter is set to IDCANCEL."

Which is what I meant by do nothing.
Sorry I don't do English as good as y'all.

You talked about handling WM_KEYDOWN message. But Instaead PreTranslateMessage would be better place, I wanted to underscore that.

No, You does, . English is not our native language.

You may also want to tell him clearly that WM_KEYDOWN won't help at all, with these two keys.

I agree. The OP didn't mention MFC. I guess it's a 50-50 shot. I try not to assume

I don't think so. When the user presses the Esc or Enter, CDialog implementations will call EndDialog() immediately rather than passing on this message to WM_KEYDOWN handler. So the handler floats sadly in thin air. There is a lot of confusion on this and I do not find a better way than overriding the PreTranslateMessage</s>
Please read This[^] too!

LOL I get it! The OP did not mention MFC - you all assumed that - you got it right...good for
you.
Most times that I assume that, the OP comes back and tells me "I'm not using MFC". I can't win.
I suggested eating the ESC key, exactly what Prasad did in his PreTranslateMsg handler.
You are right it won't work in an MFC OnKeyDown handler - the key has been translated at that
point so an escape key never gets there. That's why in MFC it needs to be caught in
PreTranslateMsg.
In non MFC you'd have to look for the WM_KEYDOWN and not pass it on to be translated.
Either way you're eating the keystroke
Cheers!

You can catch pressed key
if (key==VK_ESC)
flag=true;
and in OnClosing method you can check the flag if it's true, you can forbid closing the dialog. Or after handling VK_ESC key pressed you can change it into some other key so that program would think the ESC wasn't pressed.

I suppose you are using MFC ? If yes, look at the FAQ here[^]

If you do this, then clicking the cancel button or the close button (the X button) also won't close the dialog. Am I right?

Thanks I always have wondered why there are no other good ways than handling the PreTranslateMessage to sort this 'It closes if I press the Esc button' issue out. I find handling PreTranslateMessage to be a weird way but that is the only effective way I know to do this.

There is. If you want the close button to still work then handle the WM_CLOSE message and call CDialog::OnCancel from there and override OnCancel() and do nothing.
void CMyDialog::OnClose()
{
CDialog::OnCancel();
}
void CMyDialog::OnCancel()
{
}

Use PreTranslateMessage .
BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
int nKey = pMsg->wParam ;
if ( nKey == VK_ESCAPE )
{
return TRUE;
}
}
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
