My English isn't perfect, but please, bear with me :)
I thought of a program which will do the following:
1. Connects to a server which contain a list that is updated everytime a entry gets added or removed from the list.
2. Downloads the list, and then downloads it again every tenth second or when the user him-/herself choose to do so.
3. Lets the user specify which entrys he/she want to see.
4. Chooses an entry, doubleclicks it which opens a simple chat window with the person who made the entry to the list.
Now this is my problem:
I have no *BEEP* clue on how to do this, as I don't know ANYTHING about programs communicating with servers. Can you experts here at Bytes give me some hints on how I should do, maybe with a small code example?
Thanks :)
PS. I won't write every detail on how exactly I want to do in this post, you have to ask for those details you want to know, I think it'll save me much time. DS.
