Mark-

OK. > but I don't receive any messages like I see in MQTT Explorer. Is it the lack of a confirmation the subscribe was successful? or Is the value in the server changing and you are not being notified?

Did you receive a SUBACK response when you subscribed?

Or at the bottom right:

I would guess at or near the bottom of the object inspector.

Thanks. Industrial application, lots of networks, binding is necessary in some instances.

Using UDP, how to bind the socket to a NIC or other interface device? > For UDP client, TWSocket LocalAddr and LocalPort may be set but are usually left blank,... Does that bind the socket (UDP) to the NIC or whatever the interface device type? I am trying to make sure I understand, for what I am trying to accomplish, and I want to update the Wiki with more data.

Thanks for the response. So, for a UDP server, setting the addr is the interface address and LocalAddr is ignored? For a UDP client, how to bind the socket to an interface device? Using LocalAddr? Mark

Hello, The Wiki page https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/TWSocket Addr Client: The host to connect to. Server: The interface to listen on. LocalAddr The local address to which the socket is bound. Is this true for TCP and UDP? For a client, Addr is the remote (host) address and LocalAddr, if specified, is the interface to bind the socket. For a server, Addr specifies the interface to listen on so LocalAddr is not used.

You are correct, thank you.

Thank you Remy. This: WsocketErrorDesc(ESocketException(exceptObject).ErrorCode) works. I am hoping Angus reads the post.

Hello, Delphi 10.2.3, (VCL) current version of ICS (V9.4). Testing to verify I caught and handled the issue of the customer entering a bad IP address for binding. The IP address is formatted correctly, just not a valid IP address for any present interface. I was using the OnError callback. Call connect, onError is called but, "LastError" was zero. Switched to catching it as an exception try Connect except end; LastError is still zero. Looked in the source at procedure TCustomWSocket.BindSocket; ... if WSocket_Synchronized_bind(HSocket, PSockAddrIn(@LocalSockName)^, SockNamelen) <> 0 then begin and the correct error code 10049 (WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL) is present but, it is never assigned to LastError, that I could see. Perhaps there is something different I should be doing. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

Thank you Angus.

Thank you. Not being on the stack is the only difference I see at the moment. I will give it a go and post the result.

No problem. I found this on SO. "... that illustrates that in fact SO_BSP_STATE requires a buffer more than sizeof(CSADDR_INFO), which is in direct contrast to the Microsoft published documentation: ... Still looking for a working example in any language.

Thanks for the response. Same result.
