Making a MSN Plugin? by Noxious on 01-18-2006 at 03:29 AM

Hey, I wanna try and make a plugin but dont know how to do it. Is there any step by step guides that show you how to make a simple plug in and what tools you would need to do it?

To make a plugin for Messenger Plus! you have to download the Plugin API, which has many examples and all functions are docummented.

Obviously, you need to know a programming language, such as Visual Basic, C++, C#, etc.

If you look into the Plug-Ins subforum, you'll find many questions answered. You can also use the forum search option to look for anything specific.

i recommend refreashing your self on visual basics, its fairly simple to learn or re-learn, although i've heard people say its limiting, but thats pretty much only for the extream programers, once you refreahed your self open the api in leo's post, if i'm not mistake its all commented, i think the default commented text colour is green, so all commented text should be green in visual basic, (anything after a ' is a comment)

read through that and it should explain all the stuff you need to know
