Hi...
How can I change the DisplayPicture? I didn't find an API for something like this.
And how often can I change it per Minute / Hour?

Greeeeeez & Thank you very much!

You don't need a plugin.

Go To "tools" top of MSN messenger Window

Then to "change Display Picture"

then on your left you will get a list of pictures that you can use
OR
if you don't like them use"browse"on your right

and browse pictures that you may have saved on your computer
click on the picture you want and it will change in your"display picture"..

and you can change them as often as you like..and as quick as you wish..there is no time limit at all!

To do so with a Messenger Plus! Plugin you need to do the following

Note this is in Visual Basic

code:

---

Private objMessengerAPI As Object
Private Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

Option Explicit

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, _
                           ByVal sUserEmail As String, _
                           ByVal oMessenger As Object) _
                           As Boolean
    Initialize = True
    Set objMessengerAPI = oMessenger

    objMessengerAPI.MyProperty(M_ContactProperty_DP) = "<filename>"
End Function

Wow... thank you for this cool hint!
But... not my Keyboard is demaged, it's more Windows...
Sometimes i can use it, and sometimes not...

Thank you again!

EDIT: If I'd like to change my Pic in the Initialize Function the Source works... but how can I change it with a button on a form!? How can I call this Initialize function!?

Create a function in itself.

code:

---

Public Function ChangeDisplayPicture(ByVal sPath As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo mError
    objMessengerAPI.MyProperty(M_ContactProperty_DP) = sPath
    ChangeDisplayPicture = True
    Exit Function
mError:
    ChangeDisplayPicture = False
End Function

Woooooow! Thanks a lot!
I tried to do it while 2 days, and you can post it in 30s!

THANKS again...

Just a note, but your initialize function should then be:

code:

---

Private objMessengerAPI As Object
Private Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

Option Explicit

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, _
                           ByVal sUserEmail As String, _
                           ByVal oMessenger As Object) _
                           As Boolean
    Initialize = True
    Set objMessengerAPI = oMessenger
End Function

Hi... i'm sorry. It's me again
Now I made it like you have posted. I updated the "Initialize" Function and used the "ChangeDisplayPicture" Function. So. Thank you again. But... Everytime i call the ChangeDisplayPicture Function, the Error Number 91 appears. (Sorry, I don't know the Errordescreption in English )

I'm loading the Path from a Reg-Setting. But I don't think, this is the Error...

Can you help me again?

Thank you

Yes... it looks exactly like this. But the Error nr. 91 appears everytime i use the changeDisplayPicture function...

But WHAT is the error 91? We don't know all the error numbers by heart...

I doesn't matter if it is in another language (german?), there may be somebody else who can translate it...

Oh it is Object or With variable not set.

Try changing

code:

---

Private objMessengerAPI As Object
Private Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

---

code:

---

Public objMessengerAPI As Object
Public Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

---

Hm... With "Public" it doesn't work too...

Is there a way to call the "Initialize" function? When I have the Source in the "Initialize" function it works...
Maybe I can uninitialize my plugin and then when I initialize it again, the function will be call... !? (Maybe )

Greeeeez

You want to post the source code you have (or put it on a web server and PM me the link) and I will take a look at it.
