Winsock control

can someone tell me where I can retrieve a mswinsck.ocx control

It should come with your edition of VB.

If not, google search.

"Retrieve"?

Do a search on your hard drive for MSWINSCK.OCX

If you find it, and you should if you have VB installed on your machine, then you already have it.

It's possible it's not registered

if you find it on your hard drive try

regsvr32.exe mswinsck.ocx

its not on my computer is there away someone can an attach the file?

Here ya go

Thanks :)

You're welcome.

It says I need the license?

You can register it in two different ways.

The long way would be to do regsvr32....

The easy way is to open a project, hit Project/Components...click Browse. Find the OCX, select it, and click OK.

Not only will it be added to your project toolbar, it will also be registered for future use. :D

If it isn't registered you cannot add it to your project.

EXACTLY.

You have to regsvr32 first.

If you don't own VB though the license files won't exist.

Thus compiled EXEs can use it but developers can't.

How do I regsvr32

Start | run

regsvr32.exe mswinsck.ocx

Hopefully you put MSWINSCK.OCX in your system folder.

If so, you can do:

Start/Run/RegSvr32 "c:\windows\system\mswinsck.ocx"

From what did you install the version of VB that you are running?

Do you have SP5 installed?

I clicked start and but I cant find regsvr32

Start | Run...

Click run

Type:

regsvr32.exe mswinsck.ocx

You don't need to locate RegSvr32.Exe...

It will be in a folder that is defined in your "path"...
