Introduction to making AOL Progs - Part 1
By: CøMP

Welcome to the world of Anti-AOL programing. I am assuming you know a little bit of visual basic, like what a form is, etc. If you don't, read your Visual Basic Programmers guide that came with Visual Basic!

Before we begin, you must have DoS32.bas. This file is vital to AOL programmers. Without it, you cannot

• Send chat
• Send IM's and mail
• Forms will not stay ontop

To get DoS32 and chat scan tools, Click Here.

TO ADD FILE: Load VB, Go to the Project menu, select add file, and locate dos32.bas.

Once you have DoS32 loaded, your Project window should look like this.

Next, create a command button on the form, and make the caption of the command button "Send".
Your form should look like this.

Double-Click on the Command button. It's syntax window will appear. It should look somthing like this.

Under the "Command1_Click()", Put the following code.

ChatSend "My First Prog"
Pause 1
ChatSend "By: " & GetUser

This will Send chat saying "My First Prog", followed by a 1 second pause, then a chat send saying "By: SN". "GetUser" Gets the users AOL screen name. After "By:", there is a space because there should be a space between "By:" and your screen name. If there was no space, it would look like "By:SN". When you are ready to test it, Sign on AOL and join a Private Chat room. When you are in the room, go into Visual Basic and look for the toolbar. When you find it, hit the play button. The play button is circled here.

This will run your prog. Press the Send button, and look in the chat.
It's That Easy!

Look for more of my VB examples!
