menu in conversation/contact list hooking? by roflmao456 on 09-13-2007 at 09:41 PM
is it possible to "hook" without using a DLL?
basically, i just want to add a menu to the conversation or contact list that will do some functions with my script (the menu bar, not the 'dashboard')

I think you're able to add the menu, but I'm not sure if you can catch the event when a menu-button is clicked. Just use the GetMenu and InsertMenuItem APIs, you can find more information about them on MSDN.

That's where you got to use a hook.

To receive an event for the menu being clicked, you will need to read the messages received by the window the menu belongs to. To do this you'll need to either make a message hook (as vikke said) or subclass the window.

And both, hooking and subclassing, are not available in the MP!L scripting. You would need a DLL for this.
