kingpuka Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I am writing a program that updates often. I want to have the option to check for updates when the program is running, then download any availible updates. The only problem is i don't know how to download the updates without having user input. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for all your help! -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kjordan2001 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 What do you mean you don't know how? The user would only input a URL, which you can do automatically in your code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kingpuka Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 sorry for the confusion. what i meant was, I want to be able to press a button and it will automatically download a pre-defined URL. I don't know how to go about programing the download process. Do i use winsock controls, if so how do you do that? what commands? Or is there a better way??
