SMTP - Quite Urgent

Hello,
I have a small mail app which uses the winsock control to attach to the SMTP port of my local exchange server, however I need to use the actual winsock cotrol. Is there any way of using the winsock.dll directly, so perhaps I could create a customised mail class with code only?

Like

dim newWin as winsock
set newWin = New winsock

newWin.connect .....


Thanks in advance.

Add a REFERENCE(not as component) to Mswinsck.ocx

This is when you would just use a module.
You could also use a class and call that from the module then you could use the default events you also get with the control
Private WithEvents sckTest As MSWinsockLib.Winsock

But here a simple example

Code:

---

Option Explicit
'Add a REFERENCE(not as component) to Mswinsck.ocx (%winsysdir%\Mswinsck.ocx)
Private sckTest As MSWinsockLib.Winsock

Sub Main()
    Dim sData As String
    Dim sBuffer As String

    Set sckTest = New Winsock
    sckTest.Connect "[My SMTP Server]", 25
    Do Until sckTest.State = sckConnected And Not sckTest.State = sckError
        DoEvents
    Loop
    If sckTest.State = sckError Then    'Error
        End
    End If
    Do
        sckTest.PeekData sBuffer, vbString
        If sBuffer <> "" Then
            sckTest.GetData sBuffer, vbString
        End If
        sData = sData & sBuffer
        Debug.Print sData
        'Proccess data here
       
        'Finishd data proccssing
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

---

Hope it helps.
