Nick Name Changer - source by matty on 06-02-2004 at 02:54 AM

Ok quite frankly, I am getting sick and tired of all the people on the board who are creating apps and calling a Nick Name Changer when all it does is allow you to create a Nick Name and let you set it yourself.

I made a small app over the past few days, just about 16 colours, 4 Font Styles (Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikethrough) and 79 Emoticons. The app of course is open source, accept the dll used to set the New Nickname, but it can be found on MSN Fanatic somewhere.

I just hope this will put an end to all the Nick Name creators being made.

Are you guys trying to run the EXE or the source in VB?
Does it work for anyone? I know it works for me :)
Try restarting just to be on the safe site

Am I the only one who finds this a very bad way of doing it? You could just use the options dialog instead =/  (open it using Messenger API and then use win32 api to change text and press enter)

But when you do this, your calling open another process that isn't really needed (msmsgs) just to use the api to open the options window.

I could change it to open the options window if no conversation window is open.

The only problem with using the Messenger Api is if they dont have Windows Messenger and you try to even create UIAutomation it fails, So unless you have another way of doing it please share :S

I guess I wrote my reply faster then you could change your reply.

That would be only on XP. But since almost everyone on this forum uses XP (*sigh*), you got a point.

Also: your program would need messenger plus! to work, and since plus! fixes the API automaticly, that wouldn't change a thing.

Matty, what I am looking for perhaps is the source code of the DLL...inside it is how actual nickname changing works 8-) I think you are still using the method of sending "/nick" to a conversation window, right? ;)

Ya, but its not using sendkeys because that fails to send () its using PostMessage

Sendkeys can send ()

code:
SendKeys "{(}{)}"

Ya but if you tell it to sendkeys Text1

and text1 contains () then it doesn't send them, it sends everything else but the ()

You can find it on MSN Fanatic or You can just use the dll to set the name (just reference to it)
code:
Dim setNickName as Class1
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set setNickName = New Class1
