SMTPSecureSocket Xojo 2015 R3

Targets Web
1

My WebApp compiling fine in 2015 R2.2 is now giving syntax error 2015 R3 :
LoginPage.MailSocket1.Name Layout(property name) Syntax error.
Mailsocket1 => Super : SMTPSecureSocket

Dont drop an instance on a layout
That’s the cause

You can add a property and handle the events using addhandler

3

but Norman, the Xojo example apps for email all implement an instance of the socket as a “control” on the layout.

All my web apps have always implemented in this way, and compiled fine, up until 2015r3.

Is this a rule that only applies to web apps, or are the Xojo - supplied examples wrong? Is this rule documented?

Cheers,
Tony

There was the same problem with HTTPSecureSocket (fixed for a future release now).

I’d suggest:

  1. Create a subclass of SMTPSecureSocket
  2. Add a property of your new type (“mySMTPSecureSocket”)
  3. In the Open event handler, assign a method to it using AddHandler

To give an idea, here an example for HTTPSecureSocket:

Me.Socket1 = New imHTTPSecureSocket(Self) AddHandler Me.Socket1.PageReceived, AddressOf Me.Socket1.PageReceived_S1

In this example, my subclass “imHTTPSecureSocket” contains a method PageReceived_S1:

[code]Sub PageReceived_S1(Sender As HTTPSecureSocket, url as string, httpStatus as integer, headers as internetHeaders, content as string)
#pragma Unused url
#pragma Unused httpStatus
#pragma Unused headers

If content <> “” Then

// Do stuff here, for instance:
wPage.ContainerSaferpay1.HTMLViewer1.URL=content

End If

End Sub
[/code]

Thank you Oliver for all the info.

Yes, I have now implemented the SMTPSecureSocket as a property (instead of a layout control) and it works fine, and no compiler errors.

I am still baffled as to why this is not shown in Xojo’s example apps - maybe the implementation of SecureSockets could be discussed in more detail in Xojo’s framework documentation (gentle hint to Xojo’s developers!)

It did work in the past and it will work again with future version, I guess. Errors like this one can sneak in and can be overlooked by everybody, including beta testers.

What you could do is to open a feedback case, just to make sure it won’t get forgotten.
