OK Im an ok programmer im pretty young for my age i guess to really know verymuch about programming. One of my worst areas is API and handling windows things like that.

I looked at the plugin creator thing that patchou released, i've made everything in my plugin except for one part.

How do you add code for an somthing such as:
The event that a certain contact signs in or changes status

However, if you're working in C++, check out my tutorial at http://www.rpsoftware.net/

    'Display a message box with the contact email and status (Note status is an integer not a string)
    MsgBox "Email: " & IMContact.SigninName & vbNewLine & "Status: " & mStatus

End Sub

Thanks alot for all of that information, i esspecially appriciate all of those colors, wow. although i got a Compile Error, um it exspected an identifier on "Object"

Public WithEvents MessengerAPI As object

Object was highlighted as well.

Don't use MessengerAPI as a variable name, use MSNAPI instead.

code:

---

Public WithEvents MSNAPI As MessengerAPI.Messenger

I forgot that when you declare the variable as Object you cannot use WithEvents. So just declare it as

code:

---

Public MSNAPI As Object

I am not sure if what you posted was on purpose or not but the code we posted cannot go into a form it has to go into a Class Module. I attached an example of printing out the contacts status email and time their status was changed.

This should help you out.

Ignore my long variable name... I like to be descriptive lol.

Lol anothe reason i have so many problems is because msn hates me. It will load every plugin except this on now, im trying some different ways to make it work though
