Another couple of quick questions.

Hey guys I 'm wondering, how can I add a white board so people can draw stuff in a chat room client i made?

Also can I program a media player that works without having windows media player installed ? Thanks

In regards to your media player, it is possible to do it without the use of Windows Media Player. You could use the Microsoft Multimedia Control 6.0 that can be referenced through Visual Basic 6.0 by going to Project > Components and checking 'Microsoft Multimedia Control 6.0'.

Hope this helps

Explain more about the "white board that people can draw stuff on".

[chxxangie]

for playing the media file, this is a simple sample for you to refer.....

Whiteboard is easy. Drawing on a PictureBox can be done with either GDI or simple SetPixel APIs, etc.

To do that over the net you would just send the x,y coordinates to the other person. And of course any other info along with it like current brush color, brush size, etc. You'd probably want to use Winsock for this.

I might be able to make a small example later on if I have time, but there are a lot of them on the net already.

Thank for the help so far guys, the white board is similar to what you would find in windows live messenger.
