Using Winsock in a Visual Basic module

[multiplex77]

Is there a way to use the Winsock object in a Visual Basic MODULE or CLASS MODULE instead of only in the Form?

I'm trying to send email using my form, but don't want to place all the Winsock code in the form, but want to place the messy stuff inside a Module and just call it from the form.

Thanks in advance for the help!

You can put the code for the winsock into a function that resides in a module. You will have to pass the winsock instant to that function tho. Hope that helps.

Thanks venom3249 ...

I managed to pass it into a module, but it can't invoke the DoEvents method from within the module.

My DoEvents method is supposed to monitor the response from the Winsock object by calling the Procedure:

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Winsock1.GetData Response ' Check for incoming response
' from Mail Server
End Sub

...but somehow it never invokes this function. I've already passed the whole Winsock object into the module and everything else works except this. Am I missing something?

THanks again...

You need to build a control (an OCX) with a single winsock control on it, instead of a module.
