Winsock 1

[rushworld]

Currently new to Visual Basic, and I am interested in developing some network features into my programming. I heard about an option in VB called Winsock, but I cannot find it.
My Question is how do you enable winsock control on visual basic 6.0 (development)?

If you are using VB6 professional or Enterprise versions, first make sure that you are upgradrd to SP5, then go to Project/Components/Controls and look for Microsoft Winsock Control. Filename is Mswinsck.ocx Let me know if this helps

First off I work on a German version, so I have to translate as I go....

You have to create a reference to winsock. Right-Click on the toolbox and choose components, then select Microsoft Winsock Control, ( MSWINSCK.OCX ).

There are alot of programms that you can explore at
