Run-time 424 Error Object Required

[TheHeretic]

Ok I opened a new project in vb6 a form opened up and I double clicked it and inserted the following code:



Private Sub Form_Load()
win.RemoteHost = "irc.rizon. net"
win.RemotePort = "6667"
win.Connect
End Sub


Private Sub win_connect()
win.SendData "NICK mouse1" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "USER aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "NICK mouse2" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "USER aaaa2 aaaa2 aaaa2 aaaa2 aaaa2" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "NICK mouse3" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "USER aaaa3 aaaa3 aaaa3 aaaa3 aaaa3" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "NICK mouse4" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "USER aaaa4 aaaa4 aaaa4 aaaa4 aaaa4" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "JOIN #whatever" & vbCrLf
win.SendData "MODE #whatever +k" & vbCrLf
End Sub


On line 2 : win.RemoteHost = "irc.rizon. net"
is where i get the runtime error. Why won't this code work?

[debasisdas]

which component you are using ?

[TheHeretic]

Component? Not sure exactly what you mean, I'm am using mIRC

[TheHeretic]

I was told that most likely there is no object named 'win' in my program, any solutions? I don't entirely know what that means

[xinariscy]

win.RemoteHost

RemoteHost is a function of win. win is an object and should be in your form somewhere. Where you can find it, or any further information look where you found the code.

[debasisdas]

do you understand the code you are writing ?

is that your own code ?

if there is no object how are you using the properties and method of that object ?

well the code did work, so I moved on to greater projects now i never saved the working code, and I'm back to the same problem. I went to add componenets>win sock>checked it then the winsock toolbox came on an i put that in my form changed the 'Name' to 'Win" as aopposed to Winsock1 but I can't get the winsock controls to work. If I figured out the problem before I know it's possible, any help is appreciated
