Do you mean that the AddNewConnectSession() method doesn't return, or that it does return but you don't get any connection-completed or connection-failed events=3F (I'll assume the latter below) > There would be nice to have a timeout possibility in the > AddNewConnectSession method call, i.e. the last argument is a "number of > milliseconds before this connection attempt is considered timed out". What > do you guys think=3F Or is there another way to achieve the same effect=3F As Monni mentioned, the easiest way is to set a timer, and if the timer times out before you get a connected-event, you can Reset() the MessageTransceiverThread and get rid of it. Qt's QTimer class works well for this, or if you aren't using Qt, you could obtain a similar effect by subclassing ThreadWorkerSession and overridding GetPulseTime(), Pulse() and AsyncConnectCompleted() to cause the session to self-destruct if too much time passes before the connect succeeds.
