VB engine for the Sonork Instant Messenger
Sample Image - sonorkvb.gif

Introduction

This is a small VB sample application that demonstrates the use of the Sonork IM Engine included as a DLL. Use it to add IM capabilities to your own VB projects. It supports UDP and TCP mode as well as uncompressed file transfers. Socks is supported by the engine, but not included in this release of the DLL. The full Win32 messenger may be viewed and downloaded from here. The TBL file should be referenced so that VB's syntax highlighting and checking work properly. The DLL was written using C++ and compiles on any Win32 compiler. The source codes for the DLL and, if you really want to get deep into this, for the full Win32 messenger are available at ftp://ftp.sonork.com/developer/. If you need more details or support, e-mail developer@sonork.com.

Enjoy!

Migs

Yey!
I was wondering why I could not find "VB"

in the list of languages. Poke tongue | ;-P


As Kannan pointed out, the full source codes for the "official" you use are available at the website.. for MS VC++ of Borland C++ (any Win32 compiler) ..

I haven't placed them here (YET) because they are for V1.5 and not for V1.6


Serge Dead | X| Confused | :confused:

This is not advertisement, it is free & source codes are available. where is the advertisement? just wait till you post something: you'll see me at your thread nagging about you "advertizing" your code. Laugh | :laugh:


I think the C++ source codes are a good sample regarding straight Win32 programming, avoiding MFC or OWL or VCL which bloat the code enourmously. (My appologies to the sponsors of this site, but those frameworks IMHO suck)
