Remarks

This control provides a way for client applications to connect to a remote server using Microsoft Windows Remote Access Services (RAS). To use this control, the dial-up networking software must be installed on the local system. For access to the Internet, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed and configured. The control may configured to use either the SLIP or PPP protocols, depending on the requirements of the service provider. Refer to your system documentation for information about installing and configuring dial-up networking on your system.

For those applications which may be used in a mobile environment, or otherwise require remote network access, the Dialer control provides a convenient interface to this service. Connections can be established and discontinued under the direct control of the program, rather than requiring that the user execute another program before starting your application.

Requirements

This ActiveX control is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you are using Windows 2000, it is required that you have Service Pack (SP4) installed. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that you have at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed and it is recommended that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also recommended that all critical updates to the Windows operating system be installed.

The SocketTools Visual Edition components are compatible with any development tool that fully supports COM (Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. This includes Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++ 6.0, it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, it is recommended that you install Service Pack 1 (SP1). In all cases, it is recommended that you have the current updates for your development tools installed.

Distribution

When you distribute an application that uses this control, you should install the appropriate file in the Windows system directory. ActiveX controls must be registered on the target system by the installation program before they can be used by an application.
