Question about ReceiveNotify (VB)...I think Patchou may have to read this? by Mnjul on 11-08-2003 at 06:22 AM
Well the argument sContactName in ReceiveNotify indicates the sender of the Notify...
But it is a "parsed" name, which means that all format tags in the contact's name have been parsed...
If I want to know if the notify is sent by me, I have to use Messenger.MyFriendlyName to do a string compare with sContactName...but MyFriendlyName gives a contact name with unparsed format tags...
And therefore I can't compare them two, because one of them(sContactName) doesn't have format tags while the other one(MyFriendlyName) does
I have tried to get rid of the format tags myself, but I am quite stuffed with Ctrl+K one...so I don't think it's a practicable way.
Same happens with IMessengerContact.FriendlyName of course...
I suggest Patchou make sContactName's value be "raw" contact name, with unparsed format tags...
Do you get me?

I understand what you mean... but instead, I think I should just provide a function to clear all the control characters from the string. If I remember to do it, you'll have it

There are just too many possibilities of code combination(one digit, two digits, RGB color, Hex RGB color, with or without background) for Ctrl+K...

Better yet, pass the e-mail of the contact instead of the display name.
