Hi Guys,
How are we?

I'm currently making a program where users can talk to each other over a network, where the program automatticly picks up the other computers. Now i know the code for this is complicated but how do i do this...

Using the winsock control.

Create a server form to listen for a request, then a client form to take over when the request is sent.

Look on planetsourcecode for a couple of good examples.

You may be reinventing the wheel. Search for examples as mentioned by Matt and take a look at

http://msgpopup.hihome.com/.

Other code bank sites include

Geez zemp, you need to warn a guy that he is going to get flooded with popup messages when he clicks your link.

Should've guessed with a name like msgpopup...
