hey i'm new on C++, i tried to use the DialogBox when i recieve the "/xjaime" but it don't work, any ideas? or it just simply don't work?

It does work...
How did u call it? Can u post here the full src code?

here it is, i only paste the important parts

#include "resource.h"

LRESULT CALLBACK    Help(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

HINSTANCE hInst;
HWND hWnd;

MPPLUGIN_RETURN_BOOL ParseCommand(/*[in]*/  const char* sCommand,
                                  /*[in]*/  const char* sCommandArg,
                                  /*[in]*/  PLUGIN_PARAM* pParam,
                                  /*[out]*/ char* sResult)
{
    if(stricmp(sCommand, "/xhelp") == 0)
    {
        DialogBox(hInst, (LPCTSTR)IDD_HELP, hWnd, (DLGPROC)Help);

        strcpy(sResult, "");
        return TRUE;
    }

    else if(stricmp(sCommand, "/xping") == 0)
    {
        strcpy(sResult, sCCNotify);
        strcat(sResult, "smppg"); //The notify code must be 5 characters long
        strcat(sResult, "Ping?");
        return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK Help(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (message)
    {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
                return TRUE;

        case WM_COMMAND:
            if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDOK || LOWORD(wParam) == IDCANCEL)
            {
                EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam));
                return TRUE;
            }
            break;
    }
    return FALSE;
}

Well... I think hInst is not really initialized...
So.. DllMain should be:

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HINSTANCE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved)
{
    hInst = hModule;
        return TRUE;
}

it doesn't work... i get to errors

what errors?

Ok, how about you try debugging and some error checking api.
Right after the dialog box param call, put the following:
int x = GetLastError();

x will contain the error code. Now since you probably dont know how to debug a DLL, wsprintf() the code with "%i" into a string and messagebox it. Once you have the error code, post it here or consult your Win32 API manual.

There can be many reasons for the dialog not showing, sometimes if you have common controls (which you may) then you have to initialize common control sex

Or do as described my "Debug plugins" thread....

hmmm, something that i don't understand... i need to modify the APIEntry to

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HINSTANCE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved)
{
hInst = hModule;
        return TRUE;
}

and replace the original apientry? i didn't understand that

that funcion works the same? (with the same parameters?)

DJMystic... that only applies if you supply the DialogBox with the HWND of the parent window (in win32 API, not MFC). If u're using MFC, call it like:    :ialogBox()
