Shoutbox

Hello world

I'm currently coding an application in vb6 and I've a problem. In fact I would retrieve the content of a MSN window.

By example : To my contact "Marie" The conversation is that :

Marie said :
Hello
Zick Said :
How are you ?

And when I click on a button of my application, there's, by example, a MSGBOX that said :

Marie said :
Hello
Zick Said :
How are you ?

Is someone know how to do ?

Using the messenger api you can use the IMessengerConvosationWnd interface of a convosation window do get its contents.

code:

---

oConversationwindow.history

---

oCovosation window is the IMessengerConvosationWnd interface of the window you want to get the history of

And how said to the program of which window the text must be retrieved ?

Can you give me the code plz ?

Ok this example will put the history in a text box.

code:

---

Private oMessenger As MessengerAPI.Messenger

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim oConvo As MessengerAPI.IMessengerConversationWnd
Set oMessenger = New MessengerAPI.Messenger
Set oConvo = oMessenger.InstantMessage("contact@hotmail.com") 'Makes a new im window is one isnt open
Text1.Text = oConvo.History
End Sub

---

And you will need to add a referance to the messenger api bye checking "Messenger API Type libary"

Now I've another question. Do you know If it exists an Event who send command when the text of a conversation changed ? By example, there is this conversation :

Marie said :
Hello
Zick Said :
How are you ?

And when Marie answer, Yes and You ? My programm retrieves "Yes and you ?".

Do you understand ?

There isn't an event like that. However, if you can create threads in VB6, you can have a loop in a separate thread that monitors the history.

oki, thx
