- You can do it in VB6.
- VB6 is certainly not a 'more unstable language'.

The points 2 and 3 can easiest be done with a winsock hook. There are many samples floating around the net, not for VB6 though.
There are many VB6 winsock hooking examples too. (pscode isn't the only place for example code)
Let's start.. Since you're Mrs. Perfect, you better help him, because your post does not say anything really.
I didn't say you couldn't do it in VB6, if you read my sentence once again,
because you can't do as much as you can in C/C++.
VB6 is certainly a 'more unstable language'. It's not made to use Win32 APIs for example. It's not using original constants etc. There's no way to handle pointers.
If your program hangs (happens when making addons), you cannot stop it without exiting the whole IDE. And if you forgot to save before you click "Execute/Compile", it's gone. Also lots of wierd error messages, you can't debug it any good since the outcome is junk. Microsoft has always been claiming VB should be easy, fast, powerful, still, non of their programs are written in VB. VB6 sucks, realize it! It's easier to learn C++ than to hook API's in VB.
Okay, over to the www.pscode.com comment. I suggested PSCode because I know mostly stuff is working. There are other sites as well.. But if you know so much about winsock hooking in VB6, why don't you show us a sample instead of making me laugh?
It is indeed possible to hook winsock in VB6, with a ActiveX or DLL written in another language!
That's my opinion,
