Hi Jason,

I hope you enjoyed your leisure time in Amsterdam. Aside from the typical sordid attractions, there is actually some beautiful architecture and museums to be found in that area. I was there on business myself with my wife back in 1999.

The reason I am approaching you directly on this is two-fold. One - your invitation to do so to the general IBObjetcs community, and two - the fact that my posts in the forums remain un-replied to a week later.

The two posts 30111 and 30112 on March 15 are of great importance to me and are as follows ...

30111:

I have client server application that I am trying to make more
robust. Given a consistent connection, everything works the way it is
supposed to. However, if a network connection is dropped, I am trying
to create a graceful way to:

1) Detect the disconnect and put my clients in a corresponding
recognizable state

2) Automatically keep retrying to connect and once established, place
the client application back in service.

I have this working to a degree. I detects the disconnect and can
reestablish the connection as well. However, there is a small window
in which another network disconnect (during the initial reconnection)
throws the client application into a peculiar state in which I am no
longer able to reconnect.

I am using IB Objects and the connection I refer to is one using
IB_Connection to connect to a Firebird database that is
central/crucial to my application.

I have looked through the help files on IBO but cannot find a decent
reference on how to approach this problem. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.


30112:

The following code segment was place in the OnTimer event that
running once every second. No matter the state of the connection,
this property always returns csConnected.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this not a good property to use?

with AdminDataForm.do
begin
case ConnectionStatus of
csDisconnected: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'Disconnected';
csDisconnectPending: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'DisconnectPending';
csDropPending: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'DropPending';
csForcedConnectPending: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'ForcedConnectPending';
csConnected: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'Connected';
csConnectPending: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'ConnectPending';
csCreatePending: lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'ConnectPending';
else
lblConnectionStatus.Caption := 'Unknown';
end;
end;

Once again, any help you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you kindly,

Eric Tishler

Subject: [IBO] I'm home now

* I think I forgot to tell everyone here I would be away from home for a while. Sara (my wife) and I went to Amsterdam
where I presented a couple sessions at the SDGN CTTP event. We also took a few days leisure. It was a pretty nice
time.

Anyway, I'm home now and looking to get everything caught up. If anyone has any pressing issues I invite you to send
them to me privately with high priority.

Thanks,
Jason Wharton
