Wouldnt it just be awesome if it was possible to launch an executable as well (OR instead of) the notification sound?

This would enable a lot of us to write small macros, compile them and use them in different ways!

If you use the sProgram parameter of the DisplayToast function, when the user clicks the toast a program will be executed.

If you want to execute the program even if the user doesn't click the toast, just execute it when you call the DisplayToast function. You can do that using the ShellExecuteEx API of Windows, or if you are in VB you can also use the Shell function.

umm

i have no idea what all that means! does it have something to do with writing my own plugin??? cos i dont know how to!

So... I think you meant to make a suggestion for Plus! itself?
That's were the confussion was I suppose, you posted in the plugins section

Anyways, is that what you mean/want:
When the normal Plus! toast is shown (when someone changes his nick for example), instead of only playing a sound, also be able to launch an application?

yup! and also when a person signs in/signs out - you could execute a program..

it could you useful for many little things, like starting/shutting down a server on the computer based on who logs in etc -

Ah! ok, i get you now Well, that isn't possible currently (and it still won't be in 3.20) however it may be a good idea.

cool

how difficult would it be to code a plugin that does the above?

well your atleast 5 or 6 weeks even longer busy to make it

2 days if you want to make it when clicking popups. 2 hours if you want to do it just when someone signs off.
