Sound Plugins by fas on 07-12-2004 at 02:36 AM
Hi all,
I'm just wondering how the sound-plugins work (e.g. Audiator).
I mean, I know how to play a sound. But how does the plugin send a sound/recognize a received sound?
Thanks!

Not to open a new thread, here another question:
How does MSN Plus work? I mean even with the Messenger Lib I couldn't catch the text the user is sending (I tried to, but I can't find any controls/handles inside DirectUIHWND...). Does it have any other interfaces to MSN? Am I stupid? 
Bye

To find info on ITextServices, search MSDN for it.

windowsless controls don't have a window handle (in vb hWnd property). they are configured using COM i think.
RE: Sound Plugins by fas on 07-12-2004 at 10:41 PM
Thanks for helping @all.
Does MSN Plus has official promotion of MSN that it can for example extend the maximal length of a message? I don't have an idea of how i would manage to do this...

Second, Plus is not an official product of MSN, and it never will be AFAIK. This is, of course, a good thing.

The alternative is to reinstall the plugins from the downloads at http://plugins.msgplus.net

RE: Sound Plugins by RaceProUK on 07-14-2004 at 04:02 PM
In order to delete the plugins, you need to close Messenger down first.
When you say they don't make a sound and drop no message, does anything appear in the area you type in? If so, then just hit Send, and they should work.
RE: Sound Plugins by SIR GTI-R on 07-15-2004 at 06:17 AM
Nope no message drop's in to window i type in
