simple Vb chat

This is simple Vb client and chat Program tutorial.
First go to project the components and select microsoft winsock control under controls, Then add the winsock component to the form. Im going to make the server first of all.
Add Winsock1.LocalPort = 4746 and Winsock1.Listen under Private Sub Form_Load() this sets the port that winsock should be listening to connetions from and tells winsock to start listing. You should try and pick a port that noone else uses.
The first bit should look like this:

Private Sub Form_Load()

Winsock1.LocalPort = 4746
Winsock1.Listen

End Sub

Next under Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long) place "Winsock1.Close" and "Winsock1.Accept requestID" this closes the winsock and then accepts the connection.
Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Accept requestID

End Sub
To receive text you use the code below which gets the data then places it in a text box.
Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim TempData As String

Winsock1.GetData TempData

Text1.Text = Trim(Text1.Text) & vbCrLf & TempData
End Sub

To send text to the server add a command button and a text box and put this "Winsock1.SendData text2.Text" under the command button, which send the text that isin the text box.

Here is all of the code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.SendData text2.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

Winsock1.LocalPort = 4746
Winsock1.Listen

End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Close()

Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Listen
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Accept requestID


End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim TempData As String

Winsock1.GetData TempData

Text1.Text = Trim(Text1.Text) & vbCrLf & TempData


End Sub

the client will be posted in a second.

The client,
First add the componets like in the server, go to project the components and select microsoft winsock control under controls, Then add the winsock component to the form.
Now add 2 command buttons and 3 text boxes. Under form load place "Winsock1.RemotePort = 4746" and "Winsock1.RemoteHost = text1.text" this sets the port that winsock connects to and tells it that it has to connecct to the ip address that should be placed in text1 .

Under command1 place "Winsock1.Connect" which tells winsock to connect to the server.
Now under command2 place "Winsock1.SendData text2.text" which sends the text that is in the text2 to the server.
Then add:
"Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim TempData As String

Winsock1.GetData TempData
Text3.Text = Trim(Text3.Text) & vbCrLf & TempData

End Sub
"
this retrives the data that the server has sent and places it in text3.
and that is all there is to it.
Here is the full code:

Private Sub Command2_Click()

Winsock1.SendData text2.text
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.Connect
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Winsock1.RemotePort = 4746
Winsock1.RemoteHost = text1.text

End Sub


Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim TempData As String

Winsock1.GetData TempData
Text3.Text = Trim(Text3.Text) & vbCrLf & TempData

End Sub
