I hav vb6 learning edition and for my final a level poject, i am going to make my own icq messenger?! So i found out it is easiest to do so with winsock. So i browsed the Project>Components to see if i had it. which it said i did. I found a "Mirosoft Winsock Control 6 (sp4)" now when i try to draw a winsock icon onto my form it say that i dont have the right license?? Why? Is it something to do wih the service pack 4 bit? As i have seen other versions of vb 6 learning that have a sp number written on the splash screen, mine doesnt? Does his mean that i need a service pack to run winsock? Where can i get on from ?? How much??
