[Solved] Basic Macro connect to TCP Socket Server

[khanlon]

These questions pertain to the most recent OO and Libre versions and Windows 10.

Is it possible in ooBasic or Libreoffice Basic to send data to TCP socket and then receive the response? And if so, are there some examples posted for reference? I have spent considerable time looking without success.

Thanks.

Don't know anything about this but there is this thread. Loads of other search results for Openoffice or LibreOffice and TCP

Edit: not in BASIC though

[Villeroy]

The simplified macro language StarBasic is hard wired to the context of the embedding office suite. Controlling a running office suite via network sockets requires a true programming language with an UNO bridge such as Java, Cpp or Python.

It might or might not be possible to do it with the Windows API and adapting code available in VB6 to OOBASIC... one example in a zip here...

Another way would be if you have a compiler that can compile an adaptation of that or some other code to a dll then you could make that and call it from within OOBasic.
