Hi all,

Ive wrote a little appliction for college a location tracking app basically sets you nickname to sombody @ somewhere, (works out somewhere from you ip address/wireless lan signal strength ssid etc)

But I am having a problem of updating the nickname using win32 api, (open options window, set name, close) basically the options window sometimes stay on especially in situation where your draging something or you have a window like task manager up...

So I have been looking for a better way of doing this and can't find one So thought maybe Messenger pluss could help!

All I want to do is have a plug in monitor your messenger status and on sign in / change to "on line" or after a specific amount of time, have it read a registry entry containing the "@ location" information, read your current nick name and then use plus's ability to update the nickname (/nick) with this new information...

Do you think I could do this with a plug-in?

Thanks,

James

I'm not a programmer and did not study the Plus! plugin API, but i think it is very well possible. For information and examples of the Messenger Plus! plugin API, visit this page: http://www.msgplus.net/help_plugins.php . And once you have your plugin created, be sure to post it on this forum because i'd like to use it too.
