Question : VB6 Telnet Winsock Run-Time Error '40006'

I am using the following code -

Private Sub Connect_Click()
Winsock1.Connect ("192.168.1.1"), 23
Winsock1.SendData "admin" & vbCrLf
End Sub

and basically get the error - Run-Time Error '40006'

I can avoid this error by having two seperate buttons, one to connect and one to issue the SendData command, or by using the following function -

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
Winsock1.SendData "admin" & vbCrLf
End Sub

But I do not want to use either of these methods, I just want everything to be included in the one button.

Please help!

Now I see why you want to have all the code in one sub... But unfortunately that's not the way it designed.
Try the following code:

                       
         
           
             1:

3:

             Private iButton As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    iButton = 1
    ConnectWinsock
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    iButton = 2
    ConnectWinsock
End Sub

Private Sub Command3_Click()
    iButton = 3
    ConnectWinsock
End Sub

Private Sub ConnectWinsock()
    Winsock1.Close
    Winsock1.Connect "192.168.1.1", 23
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    Select Case iButton
        Case 1: Winsock1.SendData "admin" & vbCrLf
        Case 2: Winsock1.SendData "tx power" & vbCrLf
        Case 3: Winsock1.SendData "help" & vbCrLf
    End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Error(ByVal Number As Integer, Description As String, ByVal Scode As Long, ByVal Source As String, ByVal HelpFile As String, ByVal HelpContext As Long, CancelDisplay As Boolean)
    MsgBox "Error occurred: " & Description
End Sub
