\section{\class{wxSocketBase}}\label{wxsocketbase}
wxSocketBase is the base class for all socket-related objects, and it
defines all basic IO functionality.
+Note: (Workaround for implementation limitation for wxWidgets up to 2.5.x)
+If you want to use sockets or derived classes such as wxFTP in a secondary thread,
+call wxSocketBase::Initialize() (undocumented) from the main thread before creating
+any sockets - in wxApp::OnInit for example.
+See http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/wiki.pl?WxSocket or
+http://www.litwindow.com/knowhow/knowhow.html for more details.

elapses. Use this function after issuing a call

\wxheading{Parameters}
\wxheading{Return value}
-WaitOnConnect returns TRUE if the connection request completes. This
-does not necessarily mean that the connection was succesfully established;
+WaitOnConnect returns true if the connection request completes. This
+does not necessarily mean that the connection was successfully established;
it might also happen that the connection was refused by the peer. Use
\helpref{IsConnected}{wxsocketbaseisconnected} to distinguish between
these two situations.
-If the timeout elapses, WaitOnConnect returns FALSE.
+If the timeout elapses, WaitOnConnect returns false.
These semantics allow code like this:

// Issue the connection request
-client->Connect(addr, FALSE);
+client->Connect(addr, false);
// Wait until the request completes or until we decide to give up

+bool waitmore = true;
while ( !client->WaitOnConnect(seconds, millis) && waitmore )
{
// possibly give some feedback to the user,
