Basically, I want to add a textbox to one of MP!Ls own Windows and then when a button is clicked, do stuff. Is it possible to hook messages being sent so that I can do this?

It's possible, but you would need some way to hook the window. The scripting doesn't support Win32 hook callbacks. If you know C++ you could create your own DLL, and apply the hooks from there.

Basically, just create the button with the MP!L window as parent. Then you replace the WNDPROC (it's called subclassing) with your own (don't forget to call the other WNDPROCs in the chain!). In your WNDPROC-callback, check either for BM_CLICK or BM_CLICKED depending on what window (the MP!L window, or your button's window) you're subclassing.
