That will not be easy to do, especially not with C# or VB.NET. I'm quite sure it IS possible, but I don't exactly know how.

You will have to intercept the so called "Window Messages", then you'll have to find out if it was registered as "MessengerPlus_DisplayToast" and then you'll have to get the inputs back by translating the int's back to a string.

The function to do this is usually called "WndProc", you might try searching for that. Take a look at the "SetWindowsHook" function also.

It's actually really easy to catch MessengerPlus_DisplayToast. Just use SetWindowsHookEx, GetCurrentThreadId, and CallWndProc and/or GetMsgProc.

code:

---

int nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("MessengerPlus_DisplayToast");

---

is a key line: use a line like this in your own plugin, and save the value of nMsg to use in your CallWndProc/GetMsgProc.

If you like, I can post sample C++. The C# will be very similar.
