Okz i got it to work and i found out why it wasnt working before, it was because i was trying to call the MyFriendlyName API when messenger wsant signed in.
Now that ive fixed that does anyone know a better way to change your name than to make a convo window type /nick and change it? Because that method is much to slow and invonvienent for what im trying to do.
Thanks, when im done i will submit as much opensource as i think could help anyone starting out.
Ive already made some nice stuff, but does anyone know how u send multiple variables to a function eg:

code:

---

Public Function Thingy(1stvar As String, 2ndvar As String)
blah blah
End Function
------
Thingy(blahblah,blehbleh)

---

I can only get this to work if i only send one variable.

And also does anyone know how u can add a html link into a label?

functions should work fine with multiple variables

and use shellexecute to open a webpage

Thanx dude, btw i just need 2 know 1 more thing
How do u detect when messengers signed in?
i tried that Event OnSignin thing but i dont know how to use it.
This is my 2nd day in vb And thats all i need to submit my first version of my plugin!

they is already a song to name plugin...it was made by leamond..
(first plugin i ever tested)

then in version 2. it was helped along by dj mystic

Yer i saw that, but all the ones ive seen dont do i want them to do, and i think its a pretty cool way to pick up my skills.
So do u know how to detect when u signon?

yes

i do

code:

---

private msn as messengerapi

private sub msn_OnMyStatusChange(hr As Long, mMyStatus As MISTATUS)
if mMyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE then
msgbox " jwb rox0rs "
end if
end sub

---

something like that

edit: forgot end if such a noob

or u could use initalize, as plugins are loaded after signin

hmm thats still not detecting it i changed it to:

code:

---

Private Sub messengerapi_OnMyStatusChange(hr As Long, mMyStatus As MISTATUS)
If mMyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE Then
Check1.Enabled = True
Else
Check1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

---

And Check1 remains disabled.
And also all the contacts in my contactlist are duplicated so theres 2 of them, do u know y this happens or is it my code?

[qoute]
or u could use initalize, as plugins are loaded after signin

Thats actually what im doing, but my plugin loads b4 messenger even starts to sign in.

totally off topic i know but what vb software do you use? and wats the best? willing to pay for one so i dnt mind
