- I'm not sure what you are looking for, but there are several VB controls for
- using the winsock interface. First of all, several commercial TCP/IP vendors
- have VB tools. NetManage and Distinct both do. However, Distinct wants a
- royalty if you distribute your VB program with their control. NetManage does
- not. There are also some shareware controls available. Visual Technology
- Product's VTSOCKET.VBX is one. GCP++ from Genisys is another. Both of these
- can be found at sunsite.unc.edu. There is also a product called VBWSK (?)
- that is in alpha release. I think it is at sunsite also.
-
- I have been trying to use vtsocket.vbx with Trumpet Winsock, but I haven't had
- any luck. The people at Visual Technology have been extremely helpful but I
- just can't get it to work on my system. But if it runs on your TCP/IP stack
- then it would be a really nice tool. It comes with full blown telnet and ftp
- programs in VB! Products with detailed example code are always at the top of
- my list.
