hi there,

a lot of time when you want to write a plugin it will involve some kind of nickname change. I havent been able to do so yet, even after searching the web i didnt realy find a good explanation or a good example.
could someone help me out here

use the plugins tutorial on http://msgplus.net   then you just set it to something like

sResult = "/nick <NICK>"

(VB Code)

not sure how to do it in C++

EDIT:I'm sure i will be corrected soon

strcpy(sResult, "/nick <NICK>");
Anyway, what's the way to change the nick when no conv window is opened ?

acutally, i meant changing the nick without going through the plus! api ...
that way users wont be dependend on plus! to use the plugin

It's not even in the Messenger API.

aaaaaaaaannnnnnddddddddd ? is this worth a post?

Necroman: you can do it by opening the options window and changing the nick there. what you can also do is a proxy.

there also is a third option, but you'll have to contact huuf/TB about that one

hmmm I guess I'll contact  huuf/TB then for mistery option number three

If you're making a Plus! plugin it's going to be dependent on the user having Plus! installed

well, thats just it
i dont want to make a plugin for plus!, i want to make a plugin for msn that doesnt have to go through plus!
right now its the only solution i can come up with cause i cant figure out how to change the friendly name

Then this probably isn't the best place to be asking for help.

You could try in the MSN/Windows Messenger Section
