Connect on Startup

[Yegg]

Ok, Im trying to get my bot to connect as soon as the bot is opened, and I also want to be able to check a checkbox to determine if this will happen or not. Can anyone help me with the code I need to enter to make this happen?

Yes.  Create a button; on exit from the program, save whether the button was checked.  On startup, load that setting from registry/disk/wherever, and if it says the button was checked, call your connect method immediately.

Im not sure i really understand that, but is there a way I can make something automatically "run" when I open the bot. I cna figure out the rest on my own.

Yes.  Put it in the entry point function, which is typically main (Win32 console / Unix), or WinMain (Win32 GUI).  Alternate names are needed if you want to get Unicode native parameters.

Or on Form_Load, just call your connect call and it should start the logon sequence. Or you can do what was previoulsy posted and make a button to call on when you load your bot.

Supposing that you have Getstuff and WriteStuff functions:

In config form:

Code Select Expand


Private Sub SaveButton_Click()
Writestuff "Misc","ConnectOnStartup", YourCheckBoxName
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
YourCheckBoxName = Getstuff("Misc","ConnectOnStartup")
End Sub

'Main Form
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Getstuff("Misc","ConnectOnStartup") = "1" Then
'Connect Coding Goes Here
End if
End Sub
