RE: SetNewName() but remember?!
You can't change a contacts display name. Only contacts can change their own name...

SetNewName() is meant to set your nick name, not your contact's.

-------

If you mean their "custom name" then there isn't a function/method to catch that.

Well there is, as "custom names" are stored in the registry, but it would require to calculate the contact hash to be able to retrieve it from the registry as contact emails are encrypted:
HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<your_.NET_passport>\Contacts\<encrypted_contact's_.NET_Passport>\CustomName

In theory you could set the custom name in the same way, but then you would need also a way to update the display in the contact list.
