I know it's possible to intercept commands (like /xcrypt or something like that) using the available API set, but what I would like to know is how to simply intercept and outgoing message so that I may do something to it (I don't want to the user to constantly have to type the command in for my module to work). To what event should I register in the Messenger model to get notified when a message is being sent?

If this question would be better asked elsewhere, please let me know.

Can't you make it respond when the user presses the Send button or Enter? That's a way of knowing it I would think.

"Can't you make it respond when the user presses the Send button or Enter?"

Yes, I suppose I could detect the Enter key, but the work needed to sink the button click would be more than I would think necessary for such a simple task (unless there's a particular bit about sinking the button click than I'm missing).

There isn't anything in the eventing structure of messenger to do this? I'm surpised that I haven't found anything in the docs I've read...

what language are you working in?

You'll be in for a lot of work anyway, because fetching the message that is sent needs the use of the Active Accessibility API.

How will the Active Accessibility API help me?
