Plus! API Suggestions by Dempsey on 02-10-2005 at 07:17 PM
I'm doing as Patchou himself suggested to do in Patchou's reply to Plus 3.50 API
What would you like to see in the Plus! API? Don't bother asking for access to sent/recived message as Patchou has said many time it's very unlikely to be added.
Here are my thoughts:
- Allowing us to add some items to the right click menu of the contact list
- Allowing plugins to output tags such as (!VER) but would have to be limited list of tags so endless loops can't happen
- Maybe a function similar to SetNewName like SetNewStatus
can't think of anything else atm, but im sure I will. Anyone else got anything they would like to see?

some thing like a Parsecommand function so you can parse plus tags into text

Seeing as Messenger Plus! 3.50 has a special a new toolbar with the plus icon and the icon for the sound commands, it would be cool if plugin could add their own icon there

OR
oMessenger.MyStatus = status
Anyway, to suggest a few:
An equivalent to /nick2 seems off the cards
However, I would like to see a simple method for registering event callbacks. I've seen the event code on MSNFanatic: does anyone understand it? I can't get my head round it.
That, and the ability to add an icon to the toolbar (though in some way that doesn't make the toolbar 5 miles long).
