when i receive Login Failed. i can't get it to reconnect.

That sucks.

[ILurker]

After the login error line, (probably addchat/addtext)
put in the following, while subsituting the name of your winsock

Code Select Expand

Winsock1.Close
not too hard  

to reconnect, just put the following while subsituting the name of your button/menu name.

Code Select Expand

Winsock1.close
Connect_click

im not an idiot like that lurker
i don't know how to parse it out and to tell it to reconnect
I tried
if txtchat = "Login Failed" Then
wins.close
wins.connect
end if
also alot of other things

You don't know how to parse which out? The term of "parsing it" is quite broad.

Code Select Expand

if txtchat = "Login Failed" Then
wins.close
wins.connect
end if
Where is this code?

[haZe]

that should be in txtchat_change (what kane said)

what kain said

My name is spelled "Kane", thank you very much.

It makes more sense to do a reconnect in the disconnected event handler, not in the text changed event.

By the way, if it *is* in the text changed event, and txtchat is all of the text of the chat field, then you need to modify the checking code, so that it checks the last message added to the text, instead of checking the whole text (which means, it would only return true of the ONLY message is the last message).

Code Select Expand

If Mid(txtchat,Len(txtchat)-Len("Login Failed")) = "Login Failed" Then

Though, that code is quite inefficient.

You're using a winsock control so why don't you put this on your winsock_close event.  Maybe you can have a disconnect bool and check if the disconnect was deliberate or not.
