    Question

    Can you write straight to the MSWINSCK.DLL rather than using the M$ Winsock control in VB? Problem is that I have a small chat EXE to distribute and don't want to force everyone to run a setup or manually register MSWINSCK.OCX.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    hmm... I think the Winsock Control isn't big for nuthin' but maybe it's possible with the API.
    I'm sorry I can't help you but I'm also interested... Maybe ask it in the Internet Forum (also at this site)

    Why don't you have your program register it silently?

    Then I would have to include the OCX with the EXE. And how do I determine if it has already been registered?

    How about the first time the program is loaded..have your program register it once and that's all. Write an ini file or to the registry saying that it has been registered.

    Do you want to use API function Instead Of winsock control in VB?

    first of all do you mean the winsock.dll? I dont have anything called mswinsck.dll

    second, if you do mean the winsock.dll why would you want to write to it? It contains the api calls for winsock, which is stuff that you probably dont want to mess with.

    All I want to do is get the functionality of the Winsock control without using the winsock control itself. Are there API calls that would allow me to make a network connection, transmit a message, receive a response message, and disconnect?

    My app is very small and it is more of a hassle distributing the Winsock Control with the EXE.

    Thanks!

    Yeppers, use the winsock api calls.

    There are some examples out there that use the winsock api calls.
