Is it possible to develop a plugin with dev-c++ that only shows a messagebox if I change my own status?
I don't know how to use the IMessenger3 interface. If I declare a variable as IMessenger3, I already get errors. Which files do I have to include?
If someone has already implemented a similiar plugin, I think it wouldn't make much work to solve my problem and send me the plugin.
Thanks!

You need to ensure you include msgrua.h and msgruaid.h in any CPP file you use the Messenger API in.

Edit: And link to msgrguid.lib as well

look at the MPPlugins.zip plugin sample, as that shows using the Messenger API from within a C++ plugin, and you just have to change it to use the event you want (OnMyFirendlyNameChange IIRC) and bleh

its broken in msn 7.5 (i think)

He wants it to trigger OnMyStatusChange (DISPID_MUAE_ONMYSTATECHANGE).

Yes it is. I know this because I depend on it.

That's just what I already did, but I got linking errors.

The plugin samples are for Visual C++. Dev-C++ got no comdef.h and I think that's what you need to make such a plugin.

That doesn't matter, the plugin is for the windows messenger

Hm.. no ideas?
