Hello.

I am trying to make a plugin using Visual Basic 6.

I would like to change incoming text if it has the right notify code. How would I do this?

At current I have it using a Message Box to display what I want, but i want it to display instead of the text received in the message.

Can't you use wordfilter in Plus! for that?

you can't change the received text (weel, at least, using the api that plus provides)

maybe he wants to display something that has nothing to do with the received messeage and also only when the message comes with the flag that indicates that the text is to be parsed with a plugin.

Well I am sending some text that my plugin encrypts.

I want to be able to decrypt it in the conversation window, instead of using a seperate notification.

This plugin's purpose is so 2 people can send messages in group conversations without having someone else understand it.

I had the same problem as you when I made my (now outdated) encryption plugin. I don't think there's an easy work arround (and even less in VB)

Isn't it easier that those 2 people open a separate convo?

If it automatically de-crypted it then wouldnt anyone else in that convosation who had the plugin be able to read it.
Wouldnt it be better to encypt with a password then with recive notify open a prompt for the password and show the decrypted text in anouther window
Hope that makes sense

The idea is that one person sends a text and the plugin encripts it, then everyone else sees the encripted text but the person who knows the pasword, who see the decripted text instead.

Well, that's what I understood

Something like Simp Lite?
I used that for a while, but in massconvo...other ppl will get sent the key aswell =/

Well basically I just want to be able to convert the received text.

If that isn't possible using Visual Basic then I guess I will have to try and find another way.

well, it isn't possible with the MSgPlus.net API

i tried it before too: crYpt

i'm now jsut waiting for the new msgplus & msgplus Plugin pack to come out, and see how to be able to do it.

bu i don't believe Patchou is going to allow us (plug=in writers) to change text send by some1 else

./..........................and yes, i would like to be able to do that
