Hey,

It is my intention to write a certain plugin for Messenger Plus! that will involve embedding images in a conversation window, for example:

"Someone says: Hey! Here's a picture of my dog: [some image]. Like it?"

I looked through the C++ api, but the functions there don't reveal much as to how to accomplish this specific task? Does the conversation window accept HTML tags, so perhaps I could do something like <img src="c:\dog.png"> or something?

Thanks for your time,
Kirill.

Have you looked around custom emotions? That might provide some insight on how to do it?

Hey.

That's a nice idea, but embedding images is only a small part of what I need to do with my plugin. And no, I can guarantee you that a plugin that does what I want mine to do doesn't exist yet =)

In addition, the Custom Emoticons plugin download doesn't work. And finally, I doubt that the person who wrote it would be able to contribute the source code.

The only way this could be done would be for the user at the other end to have the plugin.
Then you could use the SendNotify message to send a message to the other user, the plugin at there end would recieve that message, then request the picture from your plugin, your's could then send the data to the other which would display the image in the convosation window

Heh, I know how my plugin works. I've already written it for "gaim". All I'm asking is how, physically, to stick a picture inside an IM window, that's all.

Well, you would have to hook the RichEdit interface, and upon adding of text parse it... I tried to do this a long time ago, but I failed because MSN would get out of sync with the emoticons.

If you really want to do this, I suggest you go read a lot about RichEdit hooking

Didn't "Over-Sized Emoticons" allowed this? I haven't use it since a long time, but I remember you could send big pictures "embeded" as emoticons in the conversation.

Heh, thanks =) I've already found out about this yesterday, when no one was answering my post beyond postcount #4. Thanks, though

i remember there was this ink pro thing(forgot the name). it was a better version of ink redistributes. it could convert images into ink messeges to send over to the contact

This was Infopen Pro. You could also add text to the "ink" message.
