[JDEV] Merry XMas - Win32 COM DLL has arrived 2 days early :)

[Keith Minkler]

hey all!

Great news for VB!  using Peter's COM object, I wrote a *simple* VB program
to connect to a jabber server...
In about 5 lines of code, I connected to the server! talk about simple.. :)

Here's what you do... download the jabberCOM.zip from
downloads.jabber.org/win32
you need to register the control with the .bat file in the zip..
load up VB, and goto to your Project:References and add the type library
.tlb file in the zip
add the folowing lines of code to instinate the object...
Private WithEvents Jabba As JabberSession
Set MyObj = CreateObject("JabberCOM.JabberSession")
this will give you a MyObj in your object pulldown, and all the events in
the Procedure pulldown..
it's *that* easy! :)

to connect..
With MyObj
	.Username = "foo"
	.Password = "bar"
	.Resource = "foo"
	.Server = "jabber.org"
	.DoConnect
End With

That should get you all started!  I'm going to write a "shell" program, but
this should get you going no prob!  Have a Merry Christmas!
