WSConnectionTimeout Property
A timeout for the component.
Syntax
wsservercontrol.WSConnectionTimeout(ConnectionId)[=integer]
Default Value
60
Remarks
A timeout for the control.
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an 'WOULDBLOCK' error if data can't be sent or received immediately.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will automatically retry each operation that would otherwise result in a 'WOULDBLOCK' error for a maximum of Timeout seconds.
The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.
If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.
Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
Optionally, the behavior of the control may be changed to absolute timeouts, i.e. the control will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.
This behavior is controlled by the AbsoluteTimeout configuration setting.
The default value for the WSConnectionTimeout property is 60 (synchronous operation).
The size of the array is controlled by the WSConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
