I'm doing as Patchou himself suggested to do in Patchou's reply to Plus 3.50 API

What would you like to see in the Plus! API?    Don't bother asking for access to sent/recived message as Patchou has said many time it's very unlikely to be added.

Here are my thoughts:

• Allowing us to add some items to the right click menu of the contact list
  
• Allowing plugins to output tags such as (!VER)   but would have to be limited list of tags so endless loops can't happen
  
• Maybe a function similar to SetNewName like  SetNewStatus

can't think of anything else atm, but im sure I will.   Anyone else got anything they would like to see?

some thing like a Parsecommand function so you can parse plus tags into text

i dont get what you mean?  parse plus tags into text?  do you mean so that say if you called (!VER) you could use that text in your plugin?   If so that is actaully a good idea 

Seeing as Messenger Plus! 3.50 has a special a new toolbar with the plus icon and the icon for the sound commands, it would be cool if plugin could add their own icon there

Yeh thats what i ment.
so like

code:

---

strBlah = parsecommand("(!VER)")

---

and strBlah is what ever (!VER) is

IMessenger3->put_MyStatus(MISTATUS status);
OR
oMessenger.MyStatus = status

Anyway, to suggest a few:
An equivalent to /nick2 seems off the cards
However, I would like to see a simple method for registering event callbacks. I've seen the event code on MSNFanatic: does anyone understand it? I can't get my head round it.
That, and the ability to add an icon to the toolbar (though in some way that doesn't make the toolbar 5 miles long).
