Hello, i did a plugin that makes people available to send me SMS from my chat, when im away, but of course, i dont want them to have it, because it will be more diffcult, i just want that they type the name of the plugin and then, the text, for example
"smsgoHey, im online, im waiting for you"
but the problem is that msgplus needs a character before that, this character is this:  or char 18... so i want to know if theres a way to get this character by typing Alt+xxx, so they just press Alt+xxx and then smsgo and the text they want to send. i remenber i did one before too... and msgplus used the character Alt+Tab before.... theres no way that i can use SMS mobile services because im from venezuela and those services are not available, but theres the website of the company that give us our mobile services and from there i can send sms, so i did a "post form" from VB and, it will work. so i need to know if theres a key to get this character from the keyboard. thnx.

And patchou, u really did a great work with Msgplus, its great. It really extend features and helps me a lot. thnx once again.

You mean �alt+0141 / ChrW(141)??

So this will actually send you an sms to your phone even if your service normally doesn't allow you?

Why don't you turn it into a command?

Thats something I was wondering, you can use ChrW(141) in Visual Basic it does just the same as when you press alt+0141

Or there is the nCCNotify constant that you can use.

the char 18 (ie: Chr$(&H12) ) is used to notify a plugin when some text is received and has to be rpocessed by the plugin. However what you want to do is process the message when the user is sending it; so you have to make a command, /xsmsgoHey, for example, and process it in ParseCommand. The user would type "/xsmsgoHey, im online, im waiting for you" and that's all, no need for Alt+18 .

Read the docummentation of the plugins for more help, or ask us

I know, but you all didn't explained him what the char 18 is used for

The API documentation does though.
