Use accelerator for Ctrl + C. Thus you will get the event (Ctrl+C press) and follow as ThatsAlok said

From within the IDE, press Ctrl+R and select Accelerator from the list of types. Click the New button. Double-click the newly added accelerator item. Check the Ctrl checkbox. Type a C in the Key combobox. Press Enter. You should now have a Ctrl+C accelerator key. Check out the LoadAccelerators() function.

you have to handle WM_KEYDOWN message for ctrl+c and there you have to read the text from listctrl and copy that into clipboard.. which can be copied anywhere using ctrl+ v

UDP Server

I would like my UDP server to send the data when the client connects; say at a rate of 100 msec.
But I can only get it working when the Server does a receive first (so the client has to do a send) then the Server does the send.

Can this be done? The server fails if I do not do the Receive and the client fails if I dont run the server first.

See code below:-

	while(g_bUDP_Socket_Created && g_bUDPStatus)<br />
	{<br />
		bytesRead = recvfrom (conn_socket, (char *)&RxBuffer, sizeof(RxBuffer), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&from, &length);<br />
		// bytesRead = recv(conn_socket, BufferIn, sizeof(BufferIn), 0);<br />
		// Check for error and terminate the thread if any found<br />
		if (bytesRead == SOCKET_ERROR) <br />
		{<br />
			g_szFormatting.Format("Couldn't receive data, %d",WSAGetLastError());<br />
			::MessageBox((HWND)NULL,g_szFormatting, NULL,MB_ICONEXCLAMATION );<br />
			closesocket (conn_socket);<br />
			WSACleanup();<br />
			return -1;<br />
		}<br />
<br />
		retval = sendto (conn_socket, (char*)TxBuffer, sizeof(Tx_Data), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&from, fromlen);<br />
		if (retval == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
		{	<br />
			g_szFormatting.Format("Couldn't send data, %d",WSAGetLastError());<br />
			::MessageBox((HWND)NULL,g_szFormatting, NULL,MB_ICONEXCLAMATION );<br />
			closesocket (conn_socket);<br />
			WSACleanup();<br />
		}<br />
	}

Are you getting an error? If so, what is the error code returned by WSAGetLastError()?

That isn't a rate, that's a duration.

If I comment out the receive I get error 10057 on the send.

All I want to do is transmit a UDP message at 10Hz. The client can be running or not. I will use port 5001, but I do not need to know the client PC.

The client will need to know both Port and PC - correct?

Andy.

The error is WSAENOTCONN.
That's expected since you're using the "from" address from the recvfrom(),
which isn't going to be a valid address without a successful recvfrom() call.

UDP is connectionless so you don't know if a client is connected or not.

It sounds like you need to either...

1) Keep track of clients that are listening - that would mean a client has to send a notification to
the server when it's ready to receive datagrams. The server can store a list of "connected" clients and
send the periodic datagrams to every address on the list.

2) Broadcast the periodic datagrams. Set the socket option SO_BROADCAST on the socket and send
to the broadcast address (INADDR_BROADCAST). The clients need to set the SO_BROADCAST socket option
as well.

Thanks again for your Post Mark, I now get Error = 10057 when the Client is not running and Error = 10093 when the Client is running.

// Setup port addresses<br />
local.sin_family = AF_INET;<br />
local.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_BROADCAST;<br />
local.sin_port = htons(port);<br />
<br />
conn_socket = socket(AF_INET, socket_type, 0); /* Open a socket */<br />
<br />
if (setsockopt (conn_socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, (char *) &TxBuffer, sizeof (TxBuffer)) == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
{<br />
	closesocket (conn_socket);<br />
	g_szFormatting.Format("setsockopt() failed: %d\n",WSAGetLastError());<br />
	ReportMessages(g_szFormatting);<br />
	WSACleanup();<br />
	return false;<br />
}<br />
<br />
//Make it so you can attach more than one thing to a socket<br />
if (setsockopt (conn_socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR , (char *) &optval, sizeof(optval))  == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
{				<br />
	g_szFormatting.Format("Couldn't set SO_REUSEADDR %d\n ", WSAGetLastError());<br />
	ReportMessages(g_szFormatting);<br />
	closesocket (conn_socket);<br />
	WSACleanup();<br />
	return false;<br />
}

And in the Writer Thread:-

while(g_bUDP_Socket_Created && g_bUDPStatus)<br />
{<br />
<br />
retval = sendto (conn_socket, (char*)TxBuffer, sizeof(Tx_Data), 0, NULL , 0);<br />
	if (retval == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
	{	<br />
		g_szFormatting.Format("Couldn't send data, %d",WSAGetLastError());<br />
		::MessageBox((HWND)NULL,g_szFormatting, NULL,MB_ICONEXCLAMATION );<br />
		closesocket (conn_socket);<br />
		WSACleanup();<br />
	}<br />
	Sleep(1000);<br />
}<br />
// Close the Winsock and tidy up<br />
closesocket(conn_socket);<br />
WSACleanup();
