I think we should hold off on the website and just work on the client for now.
Dudes (and ladies reading this but not participating :D):
I made a sample client window. I haven't implemented window resizing and only one menu function works. :) But here it is attached. You must first download and install the DevPower Flat Button control for Visual Basic 5.0 at http://www.devpower.com first!
This file opens properly with WinZip. I really don't think we should bother with password protection, as nobody would care enough to steal the code.
*crying* F2S is painfully slow. :( It would be cool if somebody set up Apache and an FTP server on a broadband connection. That way, we could have a static IP address instead of DHCP hell.Quote:

I gonna register another F2S account as soon as we have a final name for our project.
Next time, how about including the frx and the project file too?
Filburt, did you read the transcript of our meeting?
A ping feature would be easy to implement, would show IP also.
Group P2P can be done w/ 1 computer being server.
I did. And you shouldn't need the project file.Quote:

Do we really need a special OCX for the flat toolbar? I think there was a simple API trick on VBWorld to make the toolbar of VB5 look flat
The flat button control is not for the toolbar, but for the little emoticons icon (see the screenshot with the popup menu?). The toolbar, yes, using SendMessage, can be made flat.Quote:

I was thinking of using a subclassed popup menu for the emoticons, because that 1 ocx is over 300KB. That's waay too much for just a simple control. Take a look at my FormSizer control (Courtesy of VBForums;)). It's not even 100KB
Filburt: Have you seen what I've got so far?
Did you make those yourself?Quote:

They're pretty cool, but they're kinda thin. Any way to make them fatter? :D
I don't want to load trialware. You could PM me with "details" on "how to use" Secure-It. ;) ;)Quote:

See, the only reason it was encrypted was because it's sorta "confidential". I've done quite a lot of stuff with it, except the Network and P2P part. Since this forum is open to everyone on the internet, it's very possible that some cheapskate will just steal it. :D ;)
Anyways, i'll just PM you the zip.
um...never mind. I can't do it.

Filburt: Go on MSN and I'll send you the zip.
It won't sign in (see Chit Chat). :(
Does Yahoo work?
Maybe, but I don't have it. :D :D

Whatever we do, we better not make our IM as crappy and arrogant as Yahoo's. :mad:
Screw Yahoo, MSN is back up.
Sorry filburt1, but all meetings will be held via Yahoo! Messenger from now on.. MicrosoftNetwork.net screwed MSN Messenger up completely :(
MSN is working fine for me...I don't want to give in to the bas****s at Yahoo. I really hate them. :mad: :)
But if Yahoo it must be, then I grudgingly accept. But I will not keep it open all the time: only during meetings.
:)
Hi!
I'm afraid that I will ont be able to continue with this project. I have other VB projects that will take more time than I thought. No hard feelings, I hope.
Here are my last humble ideas:
(1) 3d/ Animated emoticons
This may be a nice feature
(2) "Message"
Users are able to leave a short message if a other user is offline. Then, the second user can "Reply" to the message and if the first user is online, a IM sesson starts, otherwise, a email window pops up.
(3) "Instant Info"
Be able to type like "STOCK MSOFT" and have the IM window get the stock price and put it in the window like, "At 3:12, Microsoft is at $25."
Others:
DEF Dictionary
CITYTIME Returns time of any city
CAPTIAL Type a country and it returns the captial (This is probably not needed)
Well, thanks everyone, and I hope you have much sucess with your project.
*drool* Nice form. :)
Sorry to see you go, but it's your decision, I respect that.. No hard feelings :) Good luck with your projects ;)Quote:

Thanks for your contribution.
This started as a good idea, but then you decided to use VB and it went downhill from there...:(
I'll stick with Trillian and my MSN/Yahoo/AIM/IRC/ICQ :) (Incidentally, I regularly use ALL of them :D)
Can I help you or I'm too bad ?
Yeah, you suck, you can't participate DaoK. :D :D Just joking, join the party. :)
BTW, the graphics on your site (especially the Flash animation) are AWESOME. If anything, join me on the graphics work. :)
Filburt: Get off invisible mode and let me send you the file! :D
Thx a lots turtle, :) Well i my webpage is kinda basic but I already made some very nice webpage. If you need me to do interface ( website, or anything else) just contact me. Oh, and please you can give me work to do... i dont know what to do if no one give me order lol ^_- feel free to give me duty.
What are we using ? MSN ,AIM, YAhoo ?
Filburt, why don't you just download Secure-It! 2002???
A lot easier to do, since you can't recieve files via MSN, and you won't use yahoo.
Yahoo.
What's ur sn?
[email protected]
darkdizox = username
Please give me a list of all person who work in the project ( yahoo name :) ) thx
Okay, here the list of everyone's Yahoo sn's:
andreas_lang84

filburt999
Jonathan Williamson
stickman373
yangy_cyetek
Okay, here's a copy of the compiled EXE of what i've got so far, so you cheapskates out there *cough* filburt1 *cough* can see what I have so far.
Where is the Exe ? :D
Where's the exe also? and what should i be working on exactly ? :rolleyes: :confused: :p :D :)
okay, here it is. :D
There's also an OCX, so be sure to register it before running the exe or you'll get an error (unless you already have a copy of it).:p ;) :) :D
I just want to tell you than I will be online to work with you all day between 8pm30 to 10pm30 estern time. Give me work to do and It will be done.
Fine, here's your assignment: write the client and the backend server to support it. :D :D
DaoK, you're good with Flash, right?
Okay, good. j2k wants an animation done in Flash. Contact him for more info.
It's nice. :)Quote:

1. The My Computer icon in the status bar gets screwed up when you vertically size the window
2. Remembering the password should be on the login screen
3. It doesn't do anything :D
Seriousely, someone set up a web server. It needs to support all major types of server side scripting (CGI is needed too).
It can be (preferably) a free and fast server.
Give me 5 min I will write the code ... lol :)Quote:

OK eisecure, I have him in my list and will talk with him for the flash but for the moment I dont see him online...I see only Eisecure online... please all add : darkdizox.
Thx you.
Well, after I put in the SetParent API on the picture to the status bar, the picture doesn't show up. :(
Okay, never mind. Fixed it. :D
The panels of scrollbars accept pictures...
Here's the updated copy.
You're already added.Quote:

Yeah, but the shape gets distorted. Easier w/ SetParent and a picturebox.Quote:

The messenger should have skin who user will be able to choose / make. Like a mp3 skin but for a messenger I think that a feature who Yahoo, Aim, MSN dont have :)
Skinning is, to an extent, easy. Tiny Clock (http://www.liquid2k.com/filburt1/tinyclock) uses a GIF/JPEG/BMP file as the form's Picture property. Ooh. :) Winamp uses a ZIP file and has EVERY control as a PictureBox (or C++ equivalent). So, do you want to do TC style or the much cooler but much harder Winamp style?
TC = normal style?Quote:

bahhhhhh im sure we have enough ressource to do it professional with skin =]
It would be an educational challenge, considering that I would be doing much of the UI design. :)
I just tested your tiny clock I like it :)
