Is it true about Plugins? by michael_m91 on 09-08-2004 at 06:16 AM

Sorry the subject is'nt a little more discriptive i thought i'd become to long.

So is it true about what i've heard about Plugins?

That if your writing a plugin you can't analyize incoming text unless its a command from a plugin.?

?

You can't act on what the other end writes?... That you cannot make autoresponders based on incomming text?..... is that it?

This is partly true...

you cannot do this using the MSG Plus Api, but it is indeed possible using MSN Messenger Api.... This just needs to be put into your code when your writing a plugin....

It would be great if someone could post a litle sample/source on how to do this in a plugin... I think many ppl would like that...
VB and C++, C# and all the other languages as well.... :D

The only other languages I've heard plugins have been written in are Delphi and ASM.

But yeah, C++ examples would be best :banana:

Would'nt it be possible with the Messenger API? Because that other Messenger Client uses it.

And where is the Messenger API anyway?

the oMessenger argument in your initialize function

It is possible to check the text of the conv window with the messenger API when you receive a message ME... (just use .history)

now that is a very ugly way of doing it... why? you won't be able to see emoticons, you won't know when a message is received, you won't be able to modify/parse the data. and if the person suddenly changes nick... well, good luck
RE: Is it true about Plugins? by Yousef on 09-08-2004 at 05:00 PM

Yes true, but it is possible :)

I believe it's called "Gilly Messenger" or somthing like that
RE: Is it true about Plugins? by Millenium_edition on 09-08-2004 at 06:29 PM

oh lol Gilly Messenger is a standalone client, you don't even need msn 6 to make it work :p

Or, if you can understand it, use the Events code from MSN Fanatic. That is, if one of the events is OnIMReceived... or similar...

could you post a link to that?
RE: Is it true about Plugins? by RaceProUK on 09-09-2004 at 09:43 PM

I would if I could get to it. Last time I had a look, I did it via SSH and Cygwin, and I don't want to spend ages waiting for Mozilla to load again.
