Hello, i would like to make a pager plugin, and i want to get the event when the user type !page...
I tried that

Public Function ReceiveNotify(ByVal sNotifyCode As String, ByVal sText As String, ByVal sContactName As String, ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, ByRef sTextToSend As String) As Boolean
    'This sample responds to a !ping request sent by /xpingvb
    If (StrComp(sNotifyCode, "page", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
       MsgBox "test " & sText
        Exit Function
    End If
   
    'Give other plugins a chance to receive this notification
    ReceiveNotify = False
End Function

but it doesn't work !
Help would be very appreciated

Thanks

Have you read what RecieveNotify does?

'//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'//                                                                  //
'// Purpose: Allow special actions when a plugin text is received    //
'//                                                                  //
'// Definition:                                                      //
'//   This function is called everytime Messenger Plus! detects a    //
'//   plugin text ID in a message received from a user. This ID is   //
'//   generally placed at the beginning of a text by a plugin        //
'//   command to perform an action on the destination computers.     //
'//   This can be used, for example, to play a sound. See the        //
'//   control characters section for more information.               //
'//                                                                  //
'// Parameters:                                                      //
'//   * sNotifyCode: this 5 character string is the notify code that //
'//     was sent next to the plugin ID control character. Use it to  //
'//     identify what action to perform.                             //
'//   * sText: the rest of the received message. You can use it to   //
'//     get more information about the action you want to perform.   //
'//     However, you MUST NOT use this parameter to determine if an  //
'//     action is supported by your plugin. Use sNotifyCode instead. //
'//   * sContactName: friendly name of the contact who sent this     //
'//     text.                                                        //
'//   * oConversationWnd: Messenger Conversation Window COM          //
'//     interface. The type of this object is                        //
'//     "MessengerConversationWnd". For more information, consult    //
'//     the public Messenger API documentation on Microsoft's web    //
'//     site.                                                        //
'//   * sTextToSend: this parameter is optional. You can use it if   //
'//     you want to ask Messenger Plus! to send a new message after  //
'//     this one has been displayed. This WON'T modify the message   //
'//     associated with the notify code, this will simply send a new //
'//     one.                                                         //
'//   * return value: if you recognized the notify code return True, //
'//     else, return False.                                          //
'//                                                                  //
'// Advanced: if the plugin version returned by Initialize() is 2 or //
'// above, you can specify more than one message or command in       //
'// sTextToSend. Simply create new lines with # as first character   //
'// (use vbLf to create new lines in your string). Up to 20 actions  //
'// can be specified, each being executed at a 0.5 second interval.  //
'// A different delay can even be entered for each action. After the //
'// first #, just put a digit between 1 and 9 and another #.         //
'//   Example: sTextToSend = "#First message\n#5#Second message"     //
'//                                                                  //
'// Important: keep in mind that several plugins can be installed    //
'// and that a lot of text is received. If you don't support the     //
'// notify code passed in parameter, you must return as fast as      //
'// possible and without doing anything else.                        //
'//                                                                  //

Read that and let me know if you have any questions.

I think the answer is already given...

this 5 character

"test" doesn't really seem to be 5 characters...

Is there a way to respond to a text that doesn't begin by nCCNotify? Because i want to make a local pager, like an automessage who say, type !page your message... or the notify character isn't easy to use for the contact.
I don't know if you'll understand me... i just want my plugin to be called when you receive a message which start by '!page'

Thanks for your answers !

If you use ActiveAccessibility you can access the convos but using the Messenger Plus! API you don't have access to the conversation other then that from RecieveNotify and the History object in the Messenger API.
