Fact is: this notifies you when a window is opened.

Therefor it has every right in being called "open windows notification".

Although it does throw a random notification every 123.456 seconds.


Also, let me start you in the right direction.

VB6 MSN Messenger Packet Sniffer:

What you are looking for:
the "RNG" packet. This is sent when you are invited to the switchboard.

it looks like:

<<< RNG 11752013 207.46.108.38:1863 CKI 849102291.520491113 example@passport.com Example%20Name\r\n

    *  The first parameter is the session ID of the new switchboard session. Every switchboard session has a unique ID, and each principal invited will use the same session ID. You will need this for authenticating with the switchboard.
    * The second parameter is the colon-delimited string for the address and port (has always been 1863) of the switchboard.
    * The third parameter specifies the type of authentication, which should always be CKI.
    * The fourth parameter is an authentication string that you will need when authenticating with the switchboard.
    * The fifth and sixth parameters are respectively the account name and the URL-encoded display name of the principal that invited you to the switchboard session.

Basically you could just search for this packet, then raise a toast saying the 4th parameter has started a conversation with you.

good luck
