Is there a component that i can set up to read newsgroups? I'd prefer something that came with Delphi 7 rather than downloading extras. -Steve Back to top Chad Z.

I guess the TIdNNTP is the component i need, althought here are alot to choose from. Where can i find decent documentation on the Indy components? The info in my help file is bare or non-existant, and the Indy website doesnt seem to be any better.

Is there anything that will help me to use the Indy components, much like the help files should do?

Hmmm - don't get me wrong, but I guess reading the RFCs could be very rewarding, eg http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc977.html or http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/977/ -- Ben Back to top Illya Kysil Guest Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:55 pm    Post subject: Re: Newsgroups Steve wrote: Quote: For me it helped a lot to look at : http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc977.html for the standard commands and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2980.html for the xover command (which i find very usefull) As far as i can see, those dont relate specifically to the Delphi Components.

This will give you general guidance on protocols itself. No component will be able to help if you don't understand the protocol. -- Illya Kysil, software developer Delphi/C/C++/C#/Java/Forth/Assembler ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No trees were harmed in the generation of this e-mail.

Why are you having problems? Back to top Steve Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 8:41 am    Post subject: Re: Newsgroups Thanks for that. I think i just crashed it, but i'll have a look at the code and the protocol information, and i should be ok.

Why are you having problems? Actually, i just kinda solved them. I couldnt figuire out how to open my newsreader in Outlook without going through a link on a website. As it just seems to be a lost part of Outlook. I made a shortcut on my desktop to news://newsgroups.borland.com/ and it opens now for me. Either way, it might be a nice project. Back to top Claire Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 9:01 am    Post subject: Re: Newsgroups I know exactly what you mean, which is why I wont use Outlook. It uses outlook express for the news reader but it's not so easy to find. I think you can create a custom button for quick access, but the newsreader function is in there if you look hard enough. Enjoy your project, hope you have a lot of hair ;o) Back to top Admiral Jake Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 4:43 pm    Post subject: Re: Newsgroups "Steve" <darkpho66 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Either way, it might be a nice project. Indeed, it can be very satisfying and intellectually stimulating to design and write a decent newsreader. A few years ago I decided to start writing my own multithreaded newsreader that has everything I want in a newsreader. Now it is almost ready for Beta testing. So if there is anything you'd like to know about such a project, just ask. By the way, mine is based on Indy 10 and uses NexusDB for the database backend. (I just need to remember to send myself the latest copy here at work so I can use at work too.)

I think i have 9.something. And i got lost on their site looking for updates, so i'll stick with it. The real problem is, i havent done any database work yet in Delphi, so i really have no idea what i'm doing. My teacher probaly wont do anything till next year, so hopefully my book will get round to it. I was was wondering myself how i was going to store everything, and keep track of the things i've read. I suppose i'll just leave this project for a while, at least i got my Outlook Newsreader working :) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Internet Winsock All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
