SocketTools Visual Edition, latest version 6.0.6020, is an impressive suite of ActiveX components tailored for visual development environments like Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Delphi. The collection, developed by Catalyst Development Corporation, includes eighteen diverse controls that facilitate client interfaces for essential application protocols, such as the File Transfer Protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, Domain Name Service, and Telnet. This makes it a go-to solution for developers looking to build Internet and intranet applications efficiently.

Compatibility is a strong point for SocketTools Visual Edition. It supports all versions of Visual Basic from 5.0 onwards and works seamlessly with any 32-bit development tool that adheres to the COM and ActiveX control specifications. The components' versatility extends across different 32-bit Windows platforms, with thorough support for Windows 7.

The network controls within SocketTools Visual Edition offer both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous modes of operation. They also feature the ability to log Windows Sockets function calls, invaluable for debugging purposes. All controls are thread-safe, capable of being used in multithreaded containers like Internet Explorer. Furthermore, with the exception of visually oriented controls—such as the browser, image viewer, and terminal emulation controls—these can be utilized as simple Automation objects without having to place them on a form or container.

Users can benefit from illustrative samples, comprehensive online help, and a tutorial to guide developers through their first steps. The program also includes a detailed User’s Guide and Technical Reference in PDF format, making it easy to print and consult as needed. Another major highlight is that the controls are completely royalty-free, offering developers a cost-effective solution with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

For those interested in a versatile, robust development environment, SocketTools Visual Edition is a great option. Don't forget to download the free trial and experience its comprehensive range of features first-hand.
