The SocketTools Enterprise Edition offers
the best of both worlds for the corporate developer who needs visual controls for rapid
application development, as well as the power and flexibility of dynamic-link libraries
for developing core application systems. Including 16-bit Visual Basic controls, 16/32-bit
ActiveX controls and 16/32-bit dynamic link libraries (DLLs), the Enterprise Edition is
suitable for use with virtually any Windows development environment or scripting tool. A
total of twenty controls and nineteen libraries provide client interfaces for application
protocols such as the File Transfer Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, Post Office
Protocol and Telnet Protocol. All of the controls
share many common attributes. The network controls support both synchronous (blocking) and
asynchronous modes of operation, and also include the ability to log the Windows Sockets
function calls for debugging purposes. All of the controls are thread-safe and can be used
in multithreaded containers, such as Internet Explorer. With the exception of the visually
oriented controls (the browser, image viewer and terminal emulation controls), they can
also be used as simple Automation objects, without requiring that they be placed on a form
or inside another container. The libraries also support both synchronous and asynchronous
modes of operation, and are thread-safe as well.
