Not that I'd have a clue how to do it anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone knnows if it's technically possible to somehow hook/subclass/whatever Messenger so that you can get informed of file transfers, when they start, when they finish and the filename or something.

Does anyone know if its possible?

There's a plugin for Messenger Plus! called File Transfer Plus that does these things and more, so yes, it's technically possible.

yea i know about Fiel Transfer Plus, but i want to do it for normal msn file transfers is possible

Oh, well then I don't know. I know nothing of programming

i'd say definately subclassing, youll need to hook the IM Window Control, then every so seconds maybe search for the Progress bar classname, if it returns > 0 then you've found it.

getting the Progress bar Classname would be of some difuculty though.

good luck.

A more simple way I would do it is packet sniffing

if you follow the above

have a look at
http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/sitev1/filetransfer.php

but!!!!, going my way would enable you to create your own Progress bar on the side so you don't have to scroll up to check how far its down.

actually i spose you could do that with packet sniffing aswell.

whatever works for you.

I've already looked inot packet sniffing and i can do it that way and it works just about, but i was just wondering if it was possibe to do it another way

I'd be interested in this too: being able to place progress bars where I want is something I intend to put in a little project of mine.
