Forced Nonblocking Client Services

This chapter describes the forced nonblocking interface between the TP Desktop Connector gateway and customer-written procedures.

4.1 Summary of Forced Nonblocking Procedures

Forced nonblocking client services extend the Portable API to support development tools that do not provide for callbacks, data pointers or consistent memory locations for data. (Such tools include Visual Basic and others.) You create a forced nonblocking session when you specify the ACMSDI_OPTION, ACMSDI_OPT_NONBLK, with the acmsdi_sign_in service and do not supply a completion address. In this session, all calls are nonblocking. Table 4–1 summarizes the forced nonblocking calls to the TP Desktop Connector API. For more information on forced nonblocking calls, refer to Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client Application Programming Guide.
