I'd like to program an IP Chat Program to go along with my Web Browser... I'm using VB 5, and was wondering what controls/methods I might want to consider in coding this program??
Do I need any special ocx's or dll's??
Could I use winsock, and if so, where can I get a winsock control at??
Thanx
:cool: FRAIL_KNIGHT:cool:
You have to use the winsock control, it comes with windows/vb. www.vbworld.com has a good tutorial on how to make an ip chat program.
I've searched the components I have, and can't find the winsock component. I need to download it from somewhere. I'm also afraid that it won't recognize it and give me that illegal component, not registered error...
I might try www.planetsourcecode.com...
did you look for winsock or Microsoft Winsock?
The second is the correct..
if you still cant find it..which you really should..try socket wrench its free and a good control

No, I couldn't find any component with Winsock in it...I'm using the stupid Deluxe learning edition. That may be the reason, but I couldn't find any other copy, and the Learning Edition was a lot cheaper anyway.
Thanx, I'll try the SocketWrench :D
ahh ok..well go with socket wrench then as I think it is better than winscok anyway. That web site should have some examples too.
you should get a better version of visual basic, the learning edition isnt very good at all.
