Two things by Dox on 10-03-2005 at 06:51 AM

Well, I am a VB.NET user and I wanted to know how to make tabs (the ones on the left colum with the little pictures) for MSN messenger, I am not sure if I am supposed to post this here because this might not be a plug-in for Messenger Plus! but a separate plug altogether. Can someone tell me how it’s done?

And another thing is that I use VB.NET to build my apps but I also know some C++ and I was wondering what will be better for build plug-ins with. Thanks for any help.

C++ is better, no shit with registering those plugins and stuff... Just copy to the dir and it works.

But C++ is a more difficult language to learn off course

Also if you develop using C++ you are not dependant on your users having the .NET framework.

Ah, yes. true I knew about that.

The Tabs are just HTML pages, you can make your own with TabServe or the tab manager in StuffPlug.

no, as said, the tabs are just html pages, nothing more, nothing less. Everything you can do in HTML can be done in those tabs. If you want scripting, you could use JScript (note: this is NOT completely the same as JavaScript!) or VBScript as the html pages will be loaded using the MSIE engine.
