Hi everyone!
Can anybody tell me how to use sfml socket in win32 kind of application, actually i can do it myself but the problem is that when i call accept() function the program get stuck until someone connects to it, which something really unaccetable so i was wondering if somebody could tell me how to make it work, i mean if there is a function like WSAAsyncSelect() function which is for windows socket, is there any similar function for sfml socket too.
thanks in advance.

i didn't understand you, what do you mean.

If you put the accept() call in a separate thread then your program (that is your main thread) won't get stuck.

Member 11593571 24-Jun-15 7:36am

you mean calling accept() in the main function, right

Nope, I meant in the main thread. Have a look at this page:

can you tell me how to do this

You should read a tutorial (or, better a book) on multithreading. Is is a huge topic you really need to know.
