sktPeekData

This method operates in a fashion similar to the sktGetData method. However, it does not remove data from the input queue. It is used to see what data is coming before using the sktGetData method to retrieve and delete the data from the receive buffer. This method works only for TCP connections.

Syntax: oSocket.sktPeekData(vData, [vType], [vMaxLen])

vData (Variant) Where retrieved data will be stored after the method returns successfully. If there is not enough data available for requested type, vData will be set to Empty.

vType         (Variant) Optional – specifies the type of data being retrieved
Byte               = vbByte
Integer           = vbInteger
Long              = vbLong
Single            = vbSingle
Double           = vbDouble
Currency        = vbCurrency
Date              = vbDate
Boolean         = vbBoolean
SCODE         = vbError
String            = vbString
Byte Array      = vbArray + vbByte

vMaxLen (Variant) Optional – Specifies the desired size when receiving a byte array or a string. If this parameter is missing for byte array or string, all available data will be retrieved. If provided for data types other than byte array and string, this parameter is ignored.

Group :Socket Object

Example:

Dim WithEvents oSocket As Socket ' module level Dim

Private Sub oSocket_OnDataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)

On Error Resume Next

Dim sData As String

Set oSocket = New Socket

oSocket.sktPeekData(sData, vbString, bytesTotal)

End Sub
