WinSock without the control

[steve65]

Is there a way to do winsock functions without the winsock control? I would like to create a new stand alone sub / class but I would hate to have to include a form just so that I can do this.

I am assuming that there are APIs for this but I dont know where to look.

Thanks

Winsock programming is a pretty intense area to get into ! I know what you're saying about inserting a form for the sake of it though. Try this web site -

The site is C/C++ orientated but it contains links to other sites, some of which may or may not contain VB code.
