Demonstrates how to get the connected client socket after accepting a connection asynchronously. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

;  This example assumes the Chilkat Socket API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Socket Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oListenSocket = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")

;  Bind to a port and listen.
;  This example will listen at port 5555 and allows for a backlog
;  of 25 pending connection requests.
$bSuccess = $oListenSocket.BindAndListen(5555,25)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oListenSocket.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Start a background task to accept an incoming connection ...
Local $iMaxWaitMs = 20000
Local $oAcceptTask = $oListenSocket.AcceptNextConnectionAsync($iMaxWaitMs)
$oAcceptTask.Run()

;  ...
;  ...
;  ...

;  Imagine at this point the task has completed successfully,
;  and a connection was accepted.  Here's how to get the connected socket...
$oConnectedClient = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")
$bSuccess = $oConnectedClient.LoadTaskResult($oAcceptTask)

;  Here's how it works:  The AcceptNextConnection method would normally
;  return a socket object when called synchronously.  When called asynchronously,
;  it cannot do so because it returns the task object.  When the async method
;  (running in a background thread) completes, the socket object that is the client
;  connection is contained within the task object.
;  
;  This can be generalized for any case where a Chilkat method returns an object.
;  The async version of that method is such that the object returned in the background
;  thread is contained within the task object.

;  To get the result object, we create a new object instance of that type.
;  In this case, we create a socket object (connectedClient).  There is a LoadTaskResult
;  method in all Chilkat classes that can be a return value of an async method call.
;  The LoadTaskResult method transfers the returned object from the task to the caller.
