While writing a server application with a windows form for a GUI a problem appeared. When a form loses focus the process sleep, so any networking will not work unless the form is in focus the whole time. Is there any way of creating a dialog or window that will keep its process running continuously?
I call a function called cServer::GetInstance()->CheckEvents(); which checks the events of the connection to see if anything special is happening, problem is, this AND the general process of listening on a port halts when the form loses focus. Is there a fix or work around for this?
