Hi,

Error with "MessengerAPI.MessengerContacts"... user-type not defined.

Also when i used the MessengerInstance.InstantMessage("Contact@hotmail.com"), the convo didnt open... the MessengerInstance object is all set correctly

edit: i fixed the first MessengerAPI.MessengerContacts by changing it to MessengerAPI.IMessengerContacts.

Kind Regards,

OH my gosh, it should be MessengerAPI.IMessengerContacts.

As for the convo-not-open problem, I'll need to take some look... perhaps you can try using MessengerAPI.IMessengerContact as the parameter vContact?

Hi,

Do you have any idea that when i use MessengerAPI., all the functions are there twice... so when i try and use one, i get an "Ambiguous name detected" error?

That's strange... I don't know what's going on Make sure your Reference is set correctly. Restart Visual Basic may help too ...

Hi,

Ive got the open convo working, and sorted most of it out... just trying to get this loop correct to open a contact which isnt blocked etc....

are you sure the user doesnt need to be on contact list, as i made it open a contact with "ok@hotmail.com", which i dont have on my list... and i could type "/away blah", and it worked?

I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear: when I said "random contact", I meant a random contact from the user's contact list.

Well, if "All others" is in "Allow list" in "Tools\Options -> Privacy", then, a random contact, such as ok@hotmail.com is OK too. The reason why you need a contact in Allow List is that, only when you are talking to someone on your allow list, the "Enter your message here" textbox is enabled and can accept keyboard input.

P.s. there might be a way to retrieve the actual "Allow List" rather than the user's Contact List, but I don't know how

Hi,

ok, thanks for your help you've been really helpful!
Thanks!!

wouldn't it be better to just use SetNewName("name... {status}"), instead of opening the convo window etc?

XM4ST3RX wants to set Away Messages (for auto responding), not the name suffix tag...

Ah alright, I'm sorry
Where does MsgPlus store this info? In the registry? There must be some option that doesn't involve opening/closing windows
Edit: Of course not, I'm mixing all Plus! features up, lol. I thought about the user-comeback message, which is, again, something completely differrent
