    I don't have a lot of knowledge regarding winsocer.ocx.

    I would like to know if you have some program that sends messages of a personal computer for another in net OF WINDOWS NT without be linked to the internet.

    Two computers in the same company that they are not interlinked to the internet.

    A program the same to the winpopup.exe of the ms windows 95, maybe one that I can use the computer name.

    Could anybody help me?

    Thank you very much.

    Well maybe the author of the question doesn't have english as native language?
    Ever considerd that. why dont you try to help him insted of making fun of him, then maybe he someday will be able to help you back.
    Please have some understanding with us that don't use english for our everyday conversations and that are fairly new to VB.

    no offence, i automatically thinnk of english as the first language for every1. Have you though about trying to use winpopup's own commands, sortt of like the way u can use words spellcheck? I havent got a clue how to do this, cos im not @ home and i dont have my usual txt files with me, but perhaps it would b worth a try. Y do u want to make it anyway? if u wanna make it like winpopup, use winpopup and save yourself a lot of bother!

    jimdalby:
    If I had such wonderful control over the English language as you seem to think you have, I certainally wouldn't be laughing or poking fun at anyone else.
    Read what you've written. It would be hard pressed to be related to the English language and a far cry from good grammar and punctutation with absolutely nothing to do with manners or protocol.
    If you have a few moments you should use the dictonary and look up Idiot....

    i have nothing against Braz. Im sure hes a cool, funny, charismatic kinda guy.
    However, when i read his message, i could hardly understand it.
    There is a big difference between shortening words and sentences, and making unreadable sentences. No offence, jules, but if you new anything about the net, you'd know that!

    Braz, don’t feel you should apologize. I’m sure you speak Portuguese much better than any of us. I appreciate the courtesy of most of the respondents at this site and especially the teen programmers like Yonatan and Compwiz who are helping who are helping some of us earn paychecks when they should be at the mall or riding dirt bikes. Thank you.

    Is there a way to use the DOS Netsend utility within a VB program? That’s not the same as winpopup, is it?

    Ok, people, try here: http://www.TowerOfEnglish.com

    Braz: Are you trying to make a VB program that works like WinPopup, or make a VB program that launches WinPopup?

    I don't know how to make a program that works like WinPopup (my computer is not part of a network), but here's how to launch WinPopup from VB:

    Call Shell("WinPopup.exe", vbNormalFocus)

    P.S. In the beginning, I didn't know English well either, I had meny speling end gremmer bad mistekes...

    hay guys, take it easy.

    if u wanna send msgs between computers connected to the network
    make sure that the network protocol is TCP/IP.

    now use winsock.ocx to build an application to send msgs via TCP/IP. means that one computer would connect to the second through a spacific IP address and Port. its is easy & not very complicated.
    using this way u can actully build ur own chat program (peer to peer chat).

    hope this would help.
    if u have any further questions, please e-mail me and i would provide u with all the nacessary information to start building ur project.

    If you wish to send a message to another computer that you are connected to, I think 'net send <computer name or user name> <message>' should do the trick from the command line in Windows NT. not quite sure if it will work in your situation since you are not on the internet, but I see no reason why not.

    the net send will work on any NT network with one exception. If the messanger service is off then net send wont work.
    we use it here all the time to send mesages to each other. to my knowlege net send messages are not stored anywhere for retrieval by your boss
    I would think that VB can exercise that command.
    Assume you want to send a message to a person who is logged in as JoeBob on an NT network. I would go to the start menu and choose run. I would input the following:
    net send JoeBob how are you?
    you can also choose to send the message to a specific machine name regardless of who is logged in. Say the machine name is madmep03wnt (my machine name )
    net send madmep03wnt hi badgers!
    there is a program on the net that provides a UI for the simple net send command.

    Understand...

    I'm not exactly sure why others aren't interpreting Braz very well. I read the message once and understood what they are asking. As for a reply, Braz, I've no idea, but I'll clarify for anyone who didn't understand.

    Braz is asking if anyone knows how exactly to create a program that works like winpopup, by using computer names (i.e. User Names) to contact one another without using the internet(work). They want to send messages between the LAN rather than sending it over the World Wide Web.

    --

    As for Jimdalby's statement, I will say that if you were going to offer them HELPful information, you should privately message them about the fact that you misunderstood what they said, and to please revise the message to better understand it. But instead, you decided to point out in the public domain of the posting that they don't understand English well and make fun of them for the fact.

    From what I've seen, however, YOU are the one that could use a return to English classes. Your capitalization is horrendous, your spelling is nearly as bad, and you seriously have no consideration for other people and how they feel about what you say.

    By the way, the word is spelled offense. Learn how to speak English, Jimdalby, so maybe we can understand you better, would you?
