help coding: change msn nickname by Necroman on 09-10-2004 at 02:51 PM
hi there,
a lot of time when you want to write a plugin it will involve some kind of nickname change. I havent been able to do so yet, even after searching the web i didnt realy find a good explanation or a good example.
could someone help me out here 
RE: help coding: change msn nickname by spokes on 09-10-2004 at 03:27 PM
use the plugins tutorial on http://msgplus.net then you just set it to something like
sResult = "/nick <NICK>"
(VB Code)
not sure how to do it in C++
EDIT:I'm sure i will be corrected soon
RE: help coding: change msn nickname by Yousef on 09-10-2004 at 09:52 PM
strcpy(sResult, "/nick <NICK>"); 
Anyway, what's the way to change the nick when no conv window is opened 
?
RE: help coding: change msn nickname by Necroman on 09-10-2004 at 10:35 PM
acutally, i meant changing the nick without going through the plus! api ...
that way users wont be dependend on plus! to use the plugin

It's not even in the Messenger API.

? is this worth a post?Necroman: you can do it by opening the options window and changing the nick there. what you can also do is a proxy.
there also is a third option, but you'll have to contact huuf/TB about that one

Then this probably isn't the best place to be asking for help.
You could try in the MSN/Windows Messenger Section
RE: help coding: change msn nickname by Necroman on 09-12-2004 at 05:42 PM
k, I'll start a new thread over there
RE: help coding: change msn nickname by matty on 09-12-2004 at 06:02 PM
I made this awhile back, http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=26547&pid=257020
It is in VB but it needs a conversation window to be opened unfortunatly.

This is one big forum, you don't need to create another thread... just ask a mod to move this one. Making another thread with the same subject can be seen as spamming....
