Connect event not firing (General questions)

Hi,
I have a windows NT service which is using the wodSSHCom object inside a thread to connect to a telnet server.
This works the first time i attempt to connect, but if i destroy the object and then recreate it, it then hangs when i call the connect method.
However, as a test i stumbled upon the following.If i make two instances and set the blocking property of the first instance it works ok.

eg.

//removing the next two lines make the app hang when calling connect
FTelnet2 := TwodSSHCom.Create( nil );
FTelnet2.Blocking := true;

FTelnet := TwodSSHCom.Create( nil );
FTelnet.OnConnected := wodSSH1Connected;
FTelnet.KeepAlives := 0;
FTelnet.Timeout := 0;
FTelnet.Blocking := true;
FTelnet.StripANSI := true;
FTelnet.Connect( '***' , 23);

I have added some logging, and the connected event never fires. If i set the timeout to anything above 0, it timeouts but never connects.

This is a really bisazre type probably, which setting the blocking blocking property on a dummy object seems to resolve (i dont actually do anything with the dummy object, but if i free it, then the connect methods starts hanging again).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Ryan,

Please give me some time to test this. We will inform you as soon as we make any progress.

Ryan,

I just tested it in VB6, and it worked for me. What i did is test with following code the way you described in your sample:
----------------------------------
Set wodTelnet1 = New wodSSHCom
wodTelnet1.KeepAlives = 0
wodTelnet1.Timeout = 0
wodTelnet1.Blocking = True
wodTelnet1.StripANSI = True
wodTelnet1.HostName = my_hostname
wodTelnet1.Login = my_login
wodTelnet1.Password = my_password
wodTelnet1.Port = 23
wodTelnet1.Connect
----------------------------------

I put a msgbox into the Connected Event to see if the Event will be triggered, and I also created another instance of the object, and didn't encounter any problems.

Could you maybe provide me with a small sample for delphi so i could test the exact same thing that happens to you?
