Winsock visual basic problems

red_ice

before i get started, ill fill you in on my situation.

its my end of year project, it was due today, but i have an extention till thursday becasue of this weird situation im in.

My program is finished. It was working grand until last night when i opened the .frm to look at a peice of code.

I got two log errors and when i looked at the gui the two winsock componants (pic of 2 computers linked together) has disapeared and now there is a picture box which is labled 'winsock1' and another one 'winsock2'.

There are 2 winsock connections on each of the programs im writing and they both connected to each other and sent a variable.

excellent!...

but now nothing works and my whole program is based around this network working.

Please help me out if you can. This is all my college work down the pan if i cant sort this out.

thanks

Have you got the proper .ocx's and references selected???

Go to the file menu bar (top of screen)

navigate to Project - Components

In the components dialogue, select the "Controls" tab, scroll down to "Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0" or whatever version it is you have and select it.

you should now have a little winsock icon on your toolbox and then you can add this to your form.

tada!! prob not what your looking for is it?

yea, i right click on the tool bar and add componants and then i can use the winsock. But that should load when the program when i open it - instead they are just text boxes

Also try replacing the winstock 1 & 2 with the oringal winstock control, after loading, I have a similar problem with flexgrid. Just trasfer the code over.

Thanks JoePC
