Im fairly experienced with Visual Basic but I still have not figured out how to make programs communicate with other programs. Say I want to (for some reason) make a program that could log me into AIM at the click of a button. How could I accomplish something like that?

Don't look at me because I have no idea.

Thanks for all your help. I can see why people are so inspired to post here (-.-)

Well, I am about the only VB person who posts on the YPN. Sorry if I was kind of rude.

Dx, no you aren't the only person; you just have your head so far up your a_s_z that you can't see anyone else.
Radix: You could just learn the protocol, I am sure there are a few documents on it, just search google. I know there are a few on MSN messenger.
Yjo: Good choice, ActiveX lollipops.

Active X is sorta like a rip-off of API calling right? Similar to OLE... And thanks BTW.

Okay, let me rephrase that. I am the only person who makes known (frequently) the fact that I use VB. Sorry ophline, should have known about you. IdYbI was a VB programmer, and so was sacah, but they aren't active anymore. I think Neu[Mann] also does VB stuff.

I code in VB and I post here.

Okay, I'll rephrase again. I'm the only one who frequently makes it known that I code VB and don't post here except to answer questions. That better?

rx- You will learn to ignore all posts by dxprog.

I officially have
Posted by dxprog on 09:35:00 01-16-2003
But what if I do know the answer to one of your questions and I'm the only place tog et the answer?

I highly doubt you are a more skilled VB programmer than I or a more skilled programmer period. I think you will be the one asking me the questions.
Posted by dxprog on 09:43:00 01-26-2003
Maybe so. But I usually keep my projects within my range and when they get to be too much I can usually find the answer somewhere.

you could also use the winsock object
and search for the AIM protocol specs like
these: http://thibs.menloschool.org/~djwong/docs/oscar_protocol/sections.html
but that would be alot of work to figure out
