View 9 RepliesOK I am probably going to completely fail but I thought I would just try making an SMTP server (which came from another thread on here I was posting in earlier). At the moment I am just concentrating on RECEIVING emails via SMTP, I dont care about sending them yet.So the first thing I want to do is just make my server program be able to receive a simple HELO command from Telnet on port 25. Simple enough eh? Apparently not The problem I have is that my program starts reading the data as soon as 1 character is typed into telnet, rather than it waiting for the telnet user to press Enter before it starts to process the command. I've had a look around and looked at Athiest's examples but cant figure out how to make it wait. Here is what I have so far:

I simply want to create an application that can save each n every keystroke pressed from the keyboard and then user will be able to assign it a hotkey. And then whenever user presses that hotkey the data that is relevent/linked with that hotkey should be pasted into the active window e.g. notepad, ms word, email etc. I have developed it on my own everything is working fine but whenever I hit the assigned hotkey it wont stop sending data to the active window maybe because of timer.

View 19 RepliesIn my program, if something goes wrong an ErrorForm is supposed to show up and tell what was going wrong.
And if the error is a "fatal type", then I want the program just display the ErrorForm (which gives some information about the error), wait for a button press, and then close the program (terminate run).
In case of error, the form is displayed.. That's good.
But as the program is supposed to terminate after showing the error form, the error form disappears immediately after showing up (so it doesn't allow the user any time to read what's going wrong).
How can I make the program wait until a button press (on the error form) and then terminate?

is it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?
