Hi Everybody,

I´m new on this forum, and i´m looking for some resources to develop a little plugin for MSN messenger.

I´m a VB Programmer, and already looked at plugin interface of MSGPlus, but i can´t reach my objective using these APIs.

I´ll create a plugin that captures every conversation from MSN Messenger and save it on a SQLServer database in a structured mode. But I don´t know how can i start!!!

I already searched for MSN Messenger SDK in the Microsoft Site, Google and in this forum, but i can´t find anything.

Please, anyone can give me some help, posting tips, documents, SDKs, to know how a program can communicate with MSN Messenger and capture the events.

Thanks a lot

Raceprouk's guide is what taught me...its very good...

Thanks for your help, Anubis.

But i think this won´t help me. This document refers to develop Plugins for Messenger Plus!.

I need some information to interact direcly to the MSN Messenger, like MSGPlus! do.

I already tried to capture conversations with MSGPlus! plugin APIs, but i was unsucessful. I don´t know if the APIs do not permit this or if i commited a mistake.

If we can capture all conversations with this API, let me know how please!

Thanks a lot

No the Plus! API's couldn't do that...sorry I didn't read your first post clearly. What you need is to directly hook into MSN Messenger, however I can't do this, nor do I know a guide to do it, since Plus! isn't open source I can't say I have much of a clue...It may be possible to make a program that runs a single process that uploads Plus!'s chat logs to an FTP server...this may be as close as you could get, and its no easy work to make

Ok, Anubis, no problem!

In Fact, the only software that i know who can interacty directly with MSN Messenger is MSGPlus! This is the why i posted a message here.

I think someone in this forum can help me... for now, i´ll just wait.

Thanks again for your atention.
Best regards

I'm sure Patchou could help you...although I wouldn't hold much hope that anyone else could, what you want to make is not your typical program. And I know for a fact VB on its own couldn't create what you want; you'll need to use C++...

A program like that will not help me. I already thinked about create a program who monitores the logs folder, process the TXT files modifications, connects to my SQLServer database and save the registers. But I want to do a program who can capture the conversation directly from MSN Messenger, because i will create a Instalation Package, and distribute this to my friends... All of them want a feature like that on MSN Messenger.

Thanks

I found this:

I´ll take a look on this documentation, and maybe i´ll be able to do my simple plugin.

That MSN Messenger API should help out a lot...
May I suggest that you edit your posts rather than double or in your case triple post, as stated in the forum rules...
