problems with chat program

as pino told me to do im posting this here

the problems are that my client wont send data or i might be to the server for everyone to see but the server isnt getting any of the info to display heres the send function of my code along with the data arrival of the server which is the same as the code for client

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
For i = 0 To server.ubound - 1
        If client(i).State = sckConnected Then
client(i).SendData txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text
        End If
   DoEvents
Next i
txtchat.Text = txtchat.Text & txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text & vbNewLine
txtmsg.Text = ""
End Sub

VB Code:

Private Sub winsock_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
client(i).GetData msgarrived, vbString
txtchat.Text = txtchat.Text & msgarrived & vbNewLine
End Sub

post your app for me :)

Server

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Dim msgarrived As String
Dim i As Integer
 
Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
For i = 0 To server.ubound - 1
        If server(i).State = sckConnected Then
                server(i).SendData txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text
        End If
   DoEvents
Next i
txtchat.Text = txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text & vbNewLine
txtmsg.Text = ""
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub Winsock_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Dim newClient As Long
    If Index = 0 Then
    'this is the listening server
    'load a new control to talk to this client
        newClient = LoadNextServer(server)
        server(newClient).Accept requestID
        server(newClient).SendData "Hello: you are connected"
    End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub server_DataArrival(Index As Integer, ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
txtchat.Text = msgarrived & vbNewLine
End Sub
 
Private Sub server_Error(Index As Integer, ByVal Number As Integer, Description As String, ByVal Scode As Long, ByVal Source As String, ByVal HelpFile As String, ByVal HelpContext As Long, CancelDisplay As Boolean)
Call server_Close(Index)
End Sub
 
Private Sub server_Close(Index As Integer)
    server(Index).Close
    Unload server(Index)
End Sub
 
Function LoadNextServer(wsServer) As Long
Dim wsck
Dim i As Long
    i = 0
    For Each wsck In wsServer
        If wsck.Index > i Then
            LoadNextServer = i
            Load wsServer(i)
            Exit Function
        Else
            i = i + 1
        End If
    Next
    LoadNextServer = i
    Load wsServer(i)
End Function

Client

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Dim msgarrived As String
Dim i As Integer
 
 
Private Sub cmdconnect_Click()
client(i).Connect txtip.Text, txtportnum.Text
MsgBox "Connected To " & txtip.Text
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
For i = 0 To client.ubound - 1
        If client(i).State = sckConnected Then
client(i).SendData txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text
txtchat.Text = txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text & vbNewLine
txtmsg.Text = ""
        End If
   DoEvents
Next i
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Winsock_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
    client(i).Accept requestID
End Sub
 
Private Sub client_Error(Index As Integer, ByVal Number As Integer, Description As String, ByVal Scode As Long, ByVal Source As String, ByVal HelpFile As String, ByVal HelpContext As Long, CancelDisplay As Boolean)
Call client_Close(Index)
End Sub
 
Private Sub client_Close(Index As Integer)
    client(Index).Close
End Sub

Why does your client have an array of winsocks?

im not sure i will take out the array and see if it works

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
client(i).SendData txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text
txtchat.Text = txtnickname.Text & ": " & txtmsg.Text & vbNewLine
txtmsg.Text = ""
End Sub

is giving me this error when i tr to send a message

Wrong protocol or connection for the requsted transaction or request

Post the full application, ie zip it up and post it.

I dont think you completly understand what is going on. I will fix it up for you.
