UDP Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The UDP component is used to facilitate UDP (datagram) communications. It can act both as a client and a server and communicate with any number of hosts simultaneously, as well as generate and receive broadcast packets.

Syntax

TipwUDP

Remarks

The interface of the component is similar to the interface of TCPClient, only much simpler. The component is activated/deactivated through the Active property. This property enables or disables sends or receives. The data can be sent in the same way as TCPClient, using the Send method and specifying the text to send. This is identical to assigning data to the DataToSend property. The destination is specified using the RemoteHost and RemotePort properties. Inbound data is received through the DataIn event.

If the UseConnection config setting is set to True, then a local association is created with the remote host. Otherwise, the component can receive datagrams (packets) from any host, and send datagrams to any host. Packets can be broadcast on the local net by setting the destination (RemoteHost) to 255.255.255.255.

The operation of the component is almost completely asynchronous. All calls, except the ones that deal with domain name resolution, operate through Windows messages (no blocking calls). The gain in performance is considerable when compared to using blocking calls.

AcceptData Property (UDP Component)

This property enables or disables data reception (the DataIn event).

Syntax

property AcceptData: Boolean read get_AcceptData write set_AcceptData;

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property enables or disables data reception (the DataIn event). Setting this property to False, temporarily disables data reception (and the DataIn event). Setting this property to True, reenables data reception.

Note: It is recommended to use the PauseData or ProcessData method instead of setting this property.

This property is not available at design time.

Active Property (UDP Component)

Indicates whether the component is active.

Syntax

property Active: Boolean read get_Active write set_Active;

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property indicates whether the component is currently active and can send or receive data.

If UseConnection is set to True, then a local association (connection) to the remote host and port is also created.

Note: Use the Activate or Deactivate method to control whether the component is active.

This property is not available at design time.

DataToSend Property (UDP Component)

A string of data to be sent to the remote host. Write-only property.

Syntax

property DataToSend: String write set_DataToSend;
property DataToSendB: TBytes write set_DataToSendB;

Default Value

''

Remarks

Assigning a string to the DataToSend property makes the component send the string to the remote host. The Send method provides similar functionality.

Attempts to send the string assigned to DataToSend as a complete message. If system buffers are full, or the message cannot be delivered for any other reason, an error is fired, and no portion of the message is sent. This is different from TCP where portions of the messages can be sent. UDP sends either a complete message or nothing at all.

If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, DataToSend raises the exception with errorcode 10035 and message '[10035] Operation would block' (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can handle this exception, and then try to send the data again.

Example (Send Data)

UDPControl.LocalPort = 8765 UDPControl.RemotePort = 8765 UDPControl.RemoteHost = "HostNameOrIPAddress" UDPControl.Active = True UDPControl.DataToSend = "Hello!"

This property is write-only and not available at design time.

DontRoute Property (UDP Component)

If this property is set to True, it forces the socket to send data directly to the interface (no routing).

Syntax

property DontRoute: Boolean read get_DontRoute write set_DontRoute;

Default Value

false

Remarks

If this property is set to True, it forces the socket to send data directly to the interface (no routing). Normally, IP sockets send packets of data through routers and gateways until they reach the final destination. If this property is set to True, then data will be delivered on the local subnet only.

This property is not available at design time.

LocalHost Property (UDP Component)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

property LocalHost: String read get_LocalHost write set_LocalHost;

Default Value

''

Remarks

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

LocalPort Property (UDP Component)

The UDP port in the local host where UDP binds.

Syntax

property LocalPort: Integer read get_LocalPort write set_LocalPort;

Default Value

0

Remarks

The LocalPort property must be set before UDP is activated (Active is set to True). It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting it to 0 (default) enables the TCP/IP stack to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once the component is Active. Any attempt to set the LocalPort property when the component is Active will generate an error.

The LocalPort property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side.

RemoteHost Property (UDP Component)

The address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

property RemoteHost: String read get_RemoteHost write set_RemoteHost;

Default Value

''

Remarks

The RemoteHost property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the remote host.

If RemoteHost is set to 255.255.255.255, the component broadcasts data on the local subnet.

If the RemoteHost property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the RemoteHost property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If UseConnection is set to True, the RemoteHost must be set before the component is activated (Active is set to True).

RemotePort Property (UDP Component)

The UDP port in the remote host.

Syntax

property RemotePort: Integer read get_RemotePort write set_RemotePort;

Default Value

0

Remarks

The RemotePort is the UDP port on the RemoteHost to send UDP datagrams to.

A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required.

If UseConnection is set to True, the RemotePort must be set before the component is activated (Active is set to True).

TimeToLive Property (UDP Component)

The maximum number of subnets that a datagram can traverse.

Syntax

property TimeToLive: Integer read get_TimeToLive write set_TimeToLive;

Default Value

0

Remarks

The default value for this property is 0, which tells the component to use the default TTL value of the underlying TCP/IP subsystem. Depending on the application, you can specify a value between 1 and 255.

Activate Method (UDP Component)

Enables sending and receiving of data.

Syntax

procedure Activate();

Remarks

This method enables sending and receiving of data. When called the component will create a communication endpoint (socket) which can be used for sending and receiving UDP messages. This method must be called before using the component to send and receive data.

If the UseConnection configuration setting is set to True, then a local association (connection) to the remote host is also created.

Config Method (UDP Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Deactivate Method (UDP Component)

Disables sending and receive of data.

Syntax

procedure Deactivate();

Remarks

This method disables sending and receiving of data. When called the component will destroy the existing socket and disable data communications.

DoEvents Method (UDP Component)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

procedure DoEvents();

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

PauseData Method (UDP Component)

This method pauses data reception.

Syntax

procedure PauseData();

Remarks

This method pauses data reception when called. While data reception is paused, the DataIn event will not fire. Call ProcessData to reenable data reception.

ProcessData Method (UDP Component)

This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .

Syntax

procedure ProcessData();

Remarks

This method reenables data reception after a previous call to PauseData. When PauseData is called, the DataIn event will not fire. To reenable data reception and allow DataIn to fire, call this method.

Note: This method is used only after previously calling PauseData. It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

Reset Method (UDP Component)

Reset the component.

Syntax

procedure Reset();

Remarks

This method will reset the component's properties to their default values.

ResolveRemoteHost Method (UDP Component)

Resolves the hostname in RemoteHost to an IP address.

Syntax

procedure ResolveRemoteHost();

Remarks

This method resolves the hostname specified by RemoteHost to an IP address. The resolved value is available in the RemoteHost property after this method returns.

In most cases calling this method is not necessary, the component will resolve the hostname automatically when necessary. If DelayHostResolution is True this method may be called to manually resolve RemoteHost if desired.

Send Method (UDP Component)

Send data to the remote host.

Syntax

procedure Send(Text: TBytes);

Remarks

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the DataToSend property to Text.

Example (Send Data)

UDPControl.LocalPort = 8765 UDPControl.RemotePort = 8765 UDPControl.RemoteHost = "HostNameOrIPAddress" UDPControl.Active = True UDPControl.Send("Hello!")

SendBytes Method (UDP Component)

Send data to the remote host.

Syntax

procedure SendBytes(Data: TBytes);

Remarks

Calling this method is equivalent to call SendBytes/SendText method.

Example (Send Data)

UDPControl.LocalPort = 8765 UDPControl.RemotePort = 8765 UDPControl.RemoteHost = "HostNameOrIPAddress" UDPControl.Active = True UDPControl.Send("Hello!")

SendText Method (UDP Component)

Send data to the remote host.

Syntax

procedure SendText(Text: String);

Remarks

Calling this method is equivalent to call SendBytes/SendText method.

Example (Send Data)

UDPControl.LocalPort = 8765 UDPControl.RemotePort = 8765 UDPControl.RemoteHost = "HostNameOrIPAddress" UDPControl.Active = True UDPControl.Send("Hello!")

DataIn Event (UDP Component)

Fired when data is received.

Syntax

type TDataInEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  Datagram: String;
  DatagramB: TBytes;
  const SourceAddress: String;
  SourcePort: Integer
) of Object;

property OnDataIn: TDataInEvent read FOnDataIn write FOnDataIn;

Remarks

The DataIn event is fired every time a new datagram is received.

Datagram contains the packet as sent by the remote host.

SourceAddress contains the IP number (Internet address) of the remote host, and SourcePort contains the port from which the packet originated.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Error Event (UDP Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

type TErrorEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnError: TErrorEvent read FOnError write FOnError;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ReadyToSend Event (UDP Component)

Fired when the component is ready to send data.

Syntax

type TReadyToSendEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject
) of Object;

property OnReadyToSend: TReadyToSendEvent read FOnReadyToSend write FOnReadyToSend;

Remarks

The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed DataToSend.

Config Settings (UDP Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

UDP Config Settings

CaptureIPPacketInfo:   Used to capture the packet information.

If this is set to true, the component will capture the IP packet information.

The default value for this setting is False.

Note: This setting is only available in Windows.

DelayHostResolution:   Whether the hostname is resolved when RemoteHost is set.

This setting specifies whether a hostname is resolved immediately when RemoteHost is set. If True the component will resolve the hostname and the IP address will be present in the RemoteHost property. If False, the hostname is not resolved until needed by the component when a method to connect or send data is called. If desired, ResolveRemoteHost may called to manually resolve the value in RemoteHost at any time.

The default value is False.

DestinationAddress:   Used to get the destination address from the packet information.

If CaptureIPPacketInfo is set to true, then this will be populated with the packet's destination address when a packet is received. This information will be accessible in the DataIn event.

Note: This setting is only available in Windows.

DontFragment:   Used to set the Don't Fragment flag of outgoing packets.

When set to True, packets sent by the component will have the Don't Fragment flag set. The default value is False.

LocalHost:   The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort:   The port in the local host where the component binds.

This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxPacketSize:   The maximum length of the packets that can be received.

This setting specifies the maximum size of the datagrams that the component will accept without truncation.

QOSDSCPValue:   Used to specify an arbitrary QOS/DSCP setting (optional).

UseConnection must be True to use this setting. This option allows you to specify an arbitrary DSCP value between 0 and 63. The default is 0. When set to the default value the component will not set a DSCP value.

Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API is only available on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.

QOSTrafficType:   Used to specify QOS/DSCP settings (optional).

UseConnection must be True to use this setting. You may specify either the text or integer values: BestEffort (0), Background (1), ExcellentEffort (2), AudioVideo (3), Voice (4), and Control (5).

Note: This setting uses the qWAVE API which is only available on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.

Note: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting Active to true.

ShareLocalPort:   If set to True, allows more than one instance of the component to be active on the same local port.

This option must be set before the component is activated through the Active property or it will have no effect.

The default value for this setting is False.

UseConnection:   Determines whether to use a connected socket.

UseConnection specifies whether the component should use a connected socket or not. The connection is defined as an association in between the local address/port and the remote address/port. As such, this is not a connection in the traditional TCP sense. What it means is only that the component will send and receive data only to and from the specified destination.

The default value for this setting is False.

UseIPv6:   Whether or not to use IPv6.

By default, the component expects an IPv4 address for local and remote host properties, and will create an IPv4 socket. To use IPv6 instead, set this to True.

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to True to mask sensitive data. The default is True.

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to False, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

This setting is set to False by default on all platforms.
