    connecting to AIM?

    I have this little program that makes Screennames for AIM, you put a name and PW in a textbox and then it makes it, and you just login with it.. How would I go about doing that? using Winsock

    You would probably have to sniff the packets and find out what they mean, good luck I have yet to find out how to fake a packet due to the checksum AOL puts in it's packets, and from there you can fake the logon process/creation of screennames. However, you create screennames on a web page don't you?

    yes you do, you dont need to packet sniff, I dont think, because they made a javascript SN maker, and VB sn makers.. they seem like winsock, connect to server.aim.com, send msg "CREATE SN_HERE" then send the PW u want and email.. or something.

    Here is a multisocket Winsock AIM creator that my friend wrote a little while back. He posted the source on his website for open use, so I felt I could share. It is kind of hard to just post bits and pieces of the code since I do not code like he does.

    It's pretty self explanitory...

    Just look at all the properties and functions in the project explorer. The names pretty much tell what the functions do. When you type in a function and press ".", all the variables will pop up that you can send, and the variable names are also self-explanitory.

    Of course, I am assuming you have VB 6.0 - i dont know if the lower versions show you the variable names of the function...

    If you still can't figure it out i'll write a demo for you

    I have vb 6 and I know all the functions, however, when I try to implement them with aim on I get no results. A demo would be nice, or maybe a one liner and I could figure it out.

    you might not know this - AIM has to be open. That is the disadvantage. The OCX just manipulates AIM.
