Not really a true tutorial, I think. Anyway, I believe what laserfisk is looking for is a (layman's?) guide to the API, and some samples of what can be done with it. As I have said, I am happy to write such a guide.

A laymans guide would be sweet. The best thing to do is to write a guide that EVERYONE can use. How about doing it like the "for dummies"-books... with hintboxes for the newbies?

I looked at the PDF. Useful Thank you. Good thing might be to wrap it up with a few sample projects and some more docs in a zip?

This might be a good place to fish developers for another project... Hm... Do you hate spam as much as i do? Check out http://dev.noccy.com I'm talking about Chihuahua, the opensource e-mail client. It will probably be complete enough to go through alpha-testing within a few weeks

That is true. But i didnt mean "teach them programming". More like "Teach them how to include the messenger API if they dont know how to" That kind of basic stuff...

I've got a suggestion. Im gonna upload some of my devdocs onto http://dev.noccy.com soon. take a look at those, and if you like the layout and visual appearance of them just send me the word document, and i'll do the formatting and include the noob-comments and so

There's a new version up, still at http://www.geocities.com/raceprouk/msn/plugins.htm. This time, I haven't posted a direct link, as there is now a support package (5KB zip file) containing the VB source to my AllYourBase plugin v2, as well as a 10-minute ToastsGalore in C++. Both these are covered in the guide, and together they cover all the functions available.

As a side note, should I include an example that utilises the Unicode capabilities of C++? Also, if anyone has written a plugin that uses the Messenger objects Plus! provides, I'd be very grateful if I could get some sample code to put in the guide. All contributors of code will be fully credited.

Oh yes, I have tested the code; it all works. In fact, some of you may have AllYourBase v2 installed.
