help with a little IM client

[br4ndo]

Here is the code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Revodes IM Client", 250, 255)
$tab=GUICtrlCreateTab (10,10,231,25)
$tab0=GUICtrlCreateTabitem (" Login ")                            ; login tab
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 10, 42)
GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 70, 40, 130, 20)                          ; username input
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 10, 83)
GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 70, 80, 130, 20)                          ; password input
GuiCtrlCreateButton("Login", 74, 160, 100, 30)                    ; login button
$tab1=GUICtrlCreateTabitem (" Register ")                          ; register tab
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 10, 42)
GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 70, 40, 130, 20)                          ; username input
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 10, 83)
GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 70, 80, 130, 20)                          ; password input
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("By checking the below box you agree to the ToS.", 10, 120)
GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("I agree", 100, 160, 80, 20)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)                                  ; agree checkbox
GuiCtrlCreateButton("Create Account", 74, 200, 100, 30)          ; create account button
$tab3=GUICtrlCreateTabitem (" Terms of Service ")                  ; terms tab
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Revodes instant messenger, also known as 'RIM'", 10, 40)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("is a free service provided for public use. However", 10, 52)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("any misuse or illegal use of this product will not be", 10, 64)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("tolerated. Redistribution of 'RIM' is acceptable", 10, 76)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("as long as a link back to revodes.com is provided.", 10, 88)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Termination of accounts can and will happen if", 10, 100)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("these rules aren't followed and abided by.", 10, 112)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)    ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

While that code right there is not much at all, I intend to eventually make it into a full-fledged instant messaging client. ANY suggestions and ideas are welcome. This is just the GUI which is not even totally finished yet.

Things I'm having trouble with now (aka the hard stuff):

1. Making a tcp or udp server

2. Making the register and login tab actually work in accordance to the server.

3. (After I get the first 2 working) able to send/recieve messages from others connected to the udp/tcp server.

If anyone wants to help code this IM program with me just throw me a message-

Hi,

there are already examples of TCP Server and Client and even IM-Clients in the S&S forum. Maybe you could have a short glance.

So long,

Thanks for the response, I already looked at AutoiIt Smith's posts about tcp servers and clients but everyone said you need beta to compile them, what happens when I compile a script based off of that in autoit v3? Will it just not work at all?

Hi,

yes it won't work. There is no need not toggle to beta. Beta is more stable then "normal" version I think.

So long,

Thanks! I was hoping you would see this thread and help me . From what i've looked up about tcp on the forums you look like just the guy to ask.
