In french: SocketConnecteInfraRouge

Reminder: A socket is a communication resource used by applications to communicate from one computer to another regardless of the type of network.

IF SocketConnectInfrared("customer", "service") = False THEN
Error("Connection error" + ErrorInfo(errMessage))
END

Syntax

<Result> = SocketConnectInfrared(<Socket name> , <Service name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the function was successful,
False otherwise. If an error occurs, you can get more details on the error with ErrorInfo.

<Socket name>: Character string

<Service name>: Character string

SocketConnectInfrared uses the IRDA (Infrared Data Association) protocol. Therefore, a WINDEV application can be connected to any device that uses this protocol (providing that you know the name of the service used).

Windows limit

The maximum number of infrared sockets used simultaneously cannot exceed 80.
