Looking for info on the TIPSocket class

[MadOverRAD 0]

Hello fellow Delphi enthusiasts!

I'm currently maintaining a project written in Delphi 11. I've encountered a class called TIPSocket (possibly from Indy, according to my colleague) that's apparently been causing some issues in the project. I can't access the definition of this class, as the project has undergone some refactoring recently, and the class declaration seemingly got lost in the process. If anyone here has any useful info on what this class represents (and how), or knows how I could substitute it with my own code, I'd greatly appreciate some help. Even some info on which library contains this class would be invaluable, since we're not 100% sure it's from Indy, it's just an educated guess.

Let me know if any additional info is needed. Thanks in advance for any help regarding this issue.

TIPSocket is part of VCL (unit Sockets). Indy classes are usually with names like TId*

Thank you, it seems our guess wasn't so educated after all 😉

One more thing if you don't mind, We're not able to include VCL.Sockets in the "uses" clause. Is it called something else in the source code? Could you provide a link to any site where we can find more information on this?

Seems to be Web.Win.Sockets ? So not actual VCL I guess. Our newest Delphi version is XE, so no namespaces. You can check http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeExamples/Alexandria/en/TTcpServer_(Delphi)

But then, according to

it was last included in Delphi XE. So I do not know, why that TTcpServer  sample includes it with namespaces.

Thank you very much! I will look into this. Have a great day 🙂

To include Socket components, you must add component through menu "Component/Install Packages" and search at bin directory (like in the images).

 

The socket package is deprecated, but it is still present.
