You can use , Standaed EXE ( IRC Client ) or ActiveXControl (WebChat) .
Irc Connections in my eye's is the most easist thing on VB for what it does .
1 ) Put an WINSOCK on your presentation .
2 ) Well ovibulsly we have to connect the damn thing .
QUOTE
Private Sub Form_Load() Winsock1.Close Winsock1.Connect "Server - IP or Domain", 6667 'Port End Sub
3 ) Now your connected the server wants to kno your name ! so :
QUOTE
Private Sub Winsock1_Connect() With Winsock1 .SendData "NICK JOHNO" & vbCrLf .SendData "USER TEST TEST TEST TEST TESt" & vbCrLf End With End Sub
4 ) Now your on with a name and stuff you need to play ping pong with the server so you dont get BOOTED off
QUOTE
Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long) On Error Resume Next Dim sRecv As String
Winsock1.GetData sRecv ' Put the data recieved into the string ' Play ping pong with the server If InStr(sRecv, "PING") = 1 Then Winsock1.SendData "PONG " & Split(sRecv, " ")(1) End If End Sub
Simply use the same methord as the ping to now show in the textbox
