hi all
i want to write a programm, which can send messages to a msn-member automatic, if i don't answer after 2 minutes. now i can't find informations, how i have to make the packets and so on. Does someone can help me? are there some articles about this subject?

thx

uhh i completly dont understand what you are talking about.. But i think what you mean is if you dont reply to someone after 2 minutes then there will be an auto message saying something.. Right?.. I think this is possible because we already have an automatic back... I am not a programmer myself so i woudlnt know anything about this -_- Try talking to other programers on the forum like The Blasphemer for example.. He is really good at this

sorry my english isn't very good.
yes you understood, what i wanted to say. but i want to have my own programm to solve this problem. i don't like programms from others.

thank you for the answer

I'm on Linux, but I'm sure you could probably develop a Plugin for MsgPlus (Visual Basic, ++) whatever else you windows people use.

It's well documented I think.

He wants to make his own program, not a plugin for Plus!

You'll need to learn the Messenger protocol. And on this forum you'll find not much info about that. Try other forums which are more specialized in that (like MSNFanatic). Here are a bunch of links which will give you more then enough info to start:

http://www.mess.be/
(almost everything about Windows/MSN Messenger; mostly downloads of pics, "handy" tools, patches, addons, skins, etc. Though not that much technical info)

http://forums.msnfanatic.com/
(more "technical" forum about Windows/MSN Messenger, you'll find much stuff, sources, etc. for programming related to Messenger)

http://hypothetic.org/docs/msn/
(Thé source for the Messenger protocol. A "must-visit" for you )

http://www.maldivianunderground.net/blobsy/
(Open-source example of a bot, will teach you a lot)

http://www.botwork.com/
(Site which lists many (all?) Messenger bots of which some are open source)

http://www.openmsn.org/
(Open-source example in VB of a complete Messenger client using the Windows/MSN Messenger protocol)

thank you
that was exactly what i searched!!!
