O.P. Happy  Advanced nickname changer :)
Hi.
I decided (and completed 20%) to make the following plugin for Messenger Plus!:

A nickname changer. Now... it won't be just a regular nickname changer. It will allow multi-colored nicknames (not gradients).
For example: change the nickname to ALEX, but the first 2 letters will be blue and the last 2 will be green.

I have completed the graphical interface and all that. However, I have MSN Messenger 6 and I am not aware of its new API. I just need to be able to change the nickname.

Could someone tell me how to use this API with C++ (no mfc, plain win32 api)?

Here is the first (almost functional :)) version of the plugin. It will just display the dialog to change the nickname:
http://members.rogers.com/alex_roman/xNickChanger.dll

The command to display the dialog is: /xnickchanger

Thanks.

Well, if the plugins are run before the default messenger functions, couldn't you just set the return message to /nick [formatted message]?
Of course, that might not work, but it's worth a try

I have (almost) found a way of changing the nicknames using the MSN API... however, I will need an extra 2-3 days to figure it out...

However, I could really use some help from someone who knows how to do this, or who has already done this. Patchou did it in MsgPlus! (via the /nick command). Can you tell me the method of doing it in C++ Patchou?  :$

Thanks everyone who read this... :)

lol, the /nick command is very complicated. As it will apaprently helps you, I just modified my code so that comands are parsed again after the plugins have been called, so you can call /nick, it will work in the next beta :).

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D You made me sooo happy!

I was trying to use some code adapted  from some VB code found on another forum... which didn't work...

Thanks Patchou!!!

So, when are you going to release the next beta with this functionality?

A million thanks again! :D

Did you do this?
[whatever class you assigned your form] form;
form->ShowModal();

Or is it DoModal? I can never remember =/
