Logging Messages
USER_MESSAGE [s_UserMessage structure] Server >> Client
This message from the Server to the Client is for providing a message to the user.
This message can be sent even before a LOGON_RESPONSE.
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| [unsigned int16] Size |
The standard message size field. Automatically set by constructor. |
| [unsigned int16] Type |
The standard message type field. Automatically set by constructor. |
| [char] UserMessage |
General message to present to user in the Client. |
| [unsigned int8] IsPopupMessage |
The default for this is 1 which signifies that the Server would like the Client to present the message to the user in a way which will get their attention. Otherwise, set this to 0 to give the message lower priority (just add to a log). |
GENERAL_LOG_MESSAGE [s_GeneralLogMessage structure] Server >> Client
This message from the Server to the Client is a message which is to be added to a log file indicating information from the server. For example, if there are informational messages to provide during the process of a logon, this can be used to send those messages to a Client. A Client should never implement this message as a pop-up type message. Instead, it should be treated as a lower-level log type message.
This message can be sent even before a LOGON_RESPONSE is given.
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| [unsigned int16] Size |
The standard message size field. Automatically set by constructor. |
| [unsigned int16] Type |
The standard message type field. Automatically set by constructor. |
| [char] MessageText |
The message text to the Client which it should add to its log. |
