Hi,
I want to make a plugin, that parses the msgs written by the user before sending, and the msgs received before been displayed....
i.e. a "translator" plugin..... I had downloaded the file at http://msgplus.net/help_plugins.php... and checked the Sample... But it only shows how to add Commands And Tags.... I don't want to require a command for the translation, it should be done automatically..

Can anyone help me out?

[sorry my english]

hmm, you'll need to do this Via Proxying (the only reliable way i can think of right now).

go look up some examples in Winsock hooking, and DLL Injection. what language might you be coding this in?

I've created an MSN proxy program which I've recently ported to a MSG Plus! plugin. This plugin has a plugin interface of it's own which currently only supports C++. I'm planning on adding VB support as well, but I'll have to find the time to do this.
With these plugins you can intercept/change/block incoming and outgoing messages.

by proxy do you mean socks etc... or a winsock hook?

Taken from the MSN Proxy site in mrhuge's sig:

A SOCKS4 proxy for MSN Messenger. This proxy has plugin support to enable you to make auto responders and/or interactive agents. Besides this you can select your initial status when signing in (online, away, etc...) and ping for keep-alive.

Nice to see MSN Proxy as a Plus! plugin btw, i remember you talked about this way back .

wow its Mr. Huge you've not posted in ages.

I suggested a translation plugin before somewhere

where you select your contacts language and al messages you send are in their language and every message you recieve are in your language


eg

My Contact is french

Fukafly (thats me) typess: Hi
[Plugin interception - - - > Translation]
{sending....}

Well, it's a bit of both actually. This plugin-version doesn't work 100% the same as the standalone version.
The plugin hooks the Notification Server session (which is basically the main connection of MSN Messenger) using a winsock hook. When there's an incoming or outgoing conversation request, it will intercept the Switchboard session (a separate TCP/IP connection for each conversation) using the good ol' MSN Proxy functionality. Plugins will be notified of new incoming or outgoing conversations and messages. Using a simple (100% threadsafe) callback mechanism you can also send messages to the local or remote user.
