    VB - Instant Message Client/Server

    I've been busy working an instant messanger client/server. It currently has these features:

    - Minimize to taskbar
    - Change password remotly
    - Bold text
    - Picture smilies
    - User info
    - Auto scroll in IM
    - IM notifacation
    - Ability to check to see if someone is online/offline
    - Add/remove buddys on buddy list
    - Fixed that stupid options bug
    - Added registration (only 1 per IP)
    - Auto update
    - Version Page

    I've spend more than 25+ hours on this, I'm calling it NewAge or RSIMP (Real Simple Instant Messanger Protocol)

    With this you can do basic messaging to other people on the same server.

    Nah, MSN is still better (and a bigger community). But, I am working on a paper on how this works if anyone is intrested. I'm even thinking of making one for LAN's. And one like xfire. Glad people are intrested .

    Re: VB - Instant Message Client/Server

    Just had a look at it ... Blist(i) = should be Blst(i) = ...

    This is actualy a mediocar proggy, But also the newage style of doing Chat's and IM's is Serverless..

    k1ll3rdr4g0n : if you want some help to clean it up a little let me know.. But i do like how you handle the smilies...

    Gremmy....

    As many as your server and internet connection can handle. A rough guess would be about 50 - 100 active members.

    k1ll3rdr4g0n,
    Great idea for a program! I downloaded both zip files, and tried to open them using vb 2010 express edition. I cant find the Project file... How do i make it an .exe?
    you can email me at Email Address Removed By Mod

    You can't open that with vb2010 correctly! You need vb6.0 in-order to correctly open and read the code and convert it to an *.exe file. If you want I will compile the .exe for you then send it to you?

    Edit:

    Also, it is a bad idea to post your email address since bots scan the forums and could get a hold of your email address.

    @ k1ll3rdr4g0n

    While compliling your code I encountered the following problems:

    In NewAge_client:
    Sub or Function not defined

    Referring to blist(i) =

    in frmbl
    As well as references in both projects referring to ocx or dll files that failed to load.

    Any chance you will convert this to .NET?
