Hello Plus! users

I finished the Plugin Program today and it supports the following stuff:

The Visual Basic: Plugins
The C++: Plugins
It automaticly detect the settings
Automaticly reloads plus!

Here you can download it:
Extract all the files to one directory
If you get an Message that you miss a file download the complete setup.

Without installer

With Installer

That's nice . However, maybe it would be better if you could use the registered message to unload/reload plugins instead of restarting Messenger

Patchou what do you exactly mean thanx with the following post

You will see what he means when I will release the source code for my plugin installer. I will do it sometime today (maybe in half an hour)

It's in the Readme file anyways...

I am an partly open source programmer. I also have an open source code off how to replace resources

To facilitate updates and quick installations, you can notify
Messenger Plus! that you're going to install a new plugin. In that
case, Messenger Plus! will unload all its plugins, wait 5 seconds to
let you copy your DLL and reload the plugins. To trigger this event,
you have to broadcast a registered private message in the system.
The name of the message is "MessengerPlus_PluginChange". Example:
   UINT nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("MessengerPlus_PluginChange");
   PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, nMsg, 0, 0);



This is a quote from the Readme file that comes with MsgPlus sdk...

so, u would put those 2 lines before u copy ur file. After 5 seconds, plugins will be reloaded...

Click edit post.

i am creating it so the plugin automaticly removes but the code what is in the readme is for c. and i created the program in vb 6 so if i wan't to use it i need the code for vb.

i tried several things but i don't exactly know where it goes. So please help me. You can help me if you say 2 things

where exactly the message goes
And the code for in vb.

Thanks in advance

Where the message goes?
It goes to Messenger Plus! It tells it that we want to install/update a plugin. So Messenger Plus! unloads all its plugins and after 5 seconds it reloads them. In those 5 seconds, you have to copy the plugin in the  plugins directory.

Code for VB...
I'm sorry, I don't program in VB...

But... I already made a plugin installer...  It doesn't do VB plugins though...

I call an external application on what resets the plugins

like the msgplus.exe does.

Yea i will add credit
but if any1 knows how to do it in vb i will worship you
