NETSEND Application in VB6

[Kamlesh]

Hello,

I am bored with the NETSEND Command Line interface. Hence, I have
written a NetSend application using VB6. This program internally
calls the Shell command to send the message. How can I know the
SUCCESS/FAILURE of the NETSEND command from VB? If the msg was not
sent successfully, I want to trap it and give an alert in my NetSend
User Interface.

Any help on the above would be appreciated. Is there any other way to
develop the NET SEND application in better way.

Regards,
Kamlesh

If you want a status report, look up NetMessageBuffe rSend using netapi32..
so you can get status like:

returnCode = NetMessageBuffe rSend(.sServerN ame, _
.sSendTo, _
.sSendFrom, _
.sMessage, _
ByVal Len(.sMessage))

I would advice you, just like Raoul did, to take a peek at the
NetMessageBuffe rSend API-call, as interfacing with a command-line program
(and retrieving it's output) is mostly more difficult and more work than
understanding this, relativily simple, API-call is.

I thank everyone (Watson, Rothstien, Wieser) for the replies and
suggestions. NetMessageBuffe rSend API works fine.

Going forward, I am anxious to know how the chat programs like
Yahoo/MSN are developed? Does any of you guys are aware of it? I am
interested in studying the chat programs and write one which works on
Internet. Please recommend me any websites/books.

Best Regards,
