Im trying to code a basic irc client in Delphi 2010 using Indy components. Im able to connect to my irc server (unrealircd) using sample A below.
After connecting I have many procedures that should perform actions when it receives a private message, ping, ctcp, channel modes etc. but they never react to any of these incoming events.
Sample A: This connects to the IRC server when button4 is pressed. It sucessfully joins the channel with the name specified.
procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
IdIRC1.Host := '72.20.53.142';
IdIRC1.Port := 6667;
IdIRC1.Nickname := ssh.frmmain.Edit1.text;//insert your nickname here
try
idIRC1.Connect;
except
if not idIRC1.Connected then
begin
Memo2.Lines.add('Error Connecting to ' + idIRC1.Host);
Exit;
end;
end;
Memo2.Lines.add ('Connected to Auth Server');
idIRC1.Join(channel,key);
Memo2.Lines.add ('Auth Accepted');
end;
These events dont work at all and no errors are generated during a compile.
procedure TForm1.IdIRC1Connected(Sender: TObject);
begin
memo2.Lines.Clear;
memo2.Lines.add ('2Connected');
end;
procedure TForm1.IdIRC1ServerVersion(ASender: TIdContext; Version, Host, Comments: String);
begin
memo2.Lines.Add(Version +'Host '+Host+'Comments '+Comments);
end;
