I wan't that on my screensaver a message appears when I get a new message from a contact.

What is the best way to do this? How can the screensaver ask the MSN if there are new messages?

There is no script that can do this easily. In fact it would be an extremely hard task to complete, and I doubt anyone would make a project to do this :)

Hummm

My initial idea was to create an invisible "window" that the screensaver could find using FindWindow() and GetWindowText().

[Edit]
is it possible to change the caption of an window created with MsgPlus.CreateWnd?
