IP Chat - Client

áááThere is two parts to this IP Chat; the client and server. The client side is the part of the program that connects to the server. The server will be explained in the server part of this tutorial.

áááThe client doesn't take much coding. A few lines and you're set. The client requires this:

1 dsSocket control (dsSocket1 is the name ill refer to)
4 textboxes (IP Address, Port, Chattext, and NickName)

The coding for the client looks basically like this:

Sub dsSocket1_Connect()
dsSocket1.RemotePort = Text3 'text3 is for the port
dsSocket1.RemoteDotAddr = Text1 'text1 is for the IP
dsSocket1.Connect
End Sub


Sub dsSocket1_Exception(ErrorCode As Integer, ErrorDesc As String) Text1 = Text1 & vbCrlf & ErrorDesc
End Sub


Sub dsSocket1_Receive(ReceiveData As String)
Text1 = Text1 & vbCrlf & ReceiveData
End Sub


That is all the coding needed in the dsSocket control. Now all that is needed is the coding for connecting, disconnecting, and auto-scrolling the textbox (which is all very easy to do)
