Connect Method

Creates a connection between the user's computer and the server.
Syntax
object.Connect ServerName
Parameters

object Required. An object expression that evaluates to an MsChatPr control.

ServerName Required. A string expression that contains the ServerName. This parameter can include the socket port to be used. The port 6667 is used by default.

Remarks

A successful Connect call results in an OnConnectionState event for which the ConnectionState parameter is csConnecting. Next, an OnConnectionState event is fired for which the ConnectionState parameter is csConnected. The server properties accessible at the csConnected point are:

IgnoredUsers

All the other server properties can be accessed once the user is logged on.

MsChatPr1.Connect "irc.eskimo.com:6668"
