Hi,
How do you use the SMTP protocol? Have you made your own control with a winsock or have you used the SMTP-protocol that is built-in VB?
Greetz,
Teddo:cool:
The smtp control I was told just recently it isn't built in to VB by a friend but I seem to have it in components. I'm not sure since I do not recall downloading an external application for an email client, unless it's an outlook file maybe?
I'm still working on it. I believe I must use filelen(X) in the .max value of the progressbar. I'm using a for loop and one if/else statement to try to go through the progression to correspond to the size of the file to be downloaded but either the progressbar already is at Max value or the bar doesn't show any progress color after hitting the send mail button. In either case when the progressbar color shows or not after hitting send the form is half see-through like it is stalling. I don't know.
The smtp control doesn't appear to have a "bytestotal" argument like the winsock does as one of it's actions for connection which would be a value I could pass to the progressbar. I was also told to use winsock instead of smtp control but with the smtp control I do not have to deal with authentication errors from my email server, which my email server and many other people's servers requires authentication.
So apparently this encryption is built into this smtp control.
