lol okay.

Sounds good, Ill try to keep all that in mind. Thanks.

Is that an easier language?

Well actually Im new to programming in general. I usually work with web design and fairly understand the language of php. But people have told me that you should start with VB if you want to learn application programming.

Thanks, I was looking for something like that.

Oh nvm, misunderstood for a sec. I got it now though. Thanks for the help.

Lol, I know that, but do you know how to put incomming chat messages into the text box?

Wow, didnt realize that would display messages too, thanks. But I have one more problem. I want to have two forms for this client. The first form is where the winsock is, and it has all the connection info and stuff. The seccond form is where the chatting goes down, with the userlist and such. My problem is, I do not know how to just display incomming messages in the seccond form. One again I would appreciate if anybody could assist me in this matter, thanks.

Well, ive decided that I would like to have visual basic as a language that I could fairly understand. So ive decided to try to program my own IRC client to get the hang of using the winsock control. So far, I have got the program able to connect to a given server on a given port with a given nickname, and it is able to join channels and send messages throughout the channel. The only thing that I cant figure out how to do now is tell the textbox to display incomming chat messages,  and display the userlist in another text box. I have come up with the code :
winsock.SendData "PRIVMSG" & " " & txtChannel & vbCrLf for the sending of the messages. But would receiving the messages use the same PRIVMSG command, only using GetData instead of SendData work? I hope I worded this right, but any help would be appreciated a lot.
