RE: Help please on creating a plugin
What exactly don't you understand?
Well, I'd suggest this: Open the VB.NET example and study its code. Try to understand when each function will be called. Then compile it and install it. (just follow the instructions that there is in the readme.rtf). Then start modifying the code and testing ;)

you compile the plugin, and copy the dll in the plugins folder of plus. Then you have to register it (because you created it in VB) Use the regasm program to do that (more instructions in the readme). After that, you have to tell plus that there is a new plugin. Add an entry at the registry with the needed information (once more, you'll find how to do it in the readme). Finally you have to restart messenger.
