At last... I've finished the new version of BotDK: Version 2.0!

Changes since V1.0

• The biggest change is that it's not a Messenger Plus! plugin anymore. It's now a COM dll which you can use in your Messenger Plus! plugins. This way you can combine the strengths of both the Messenger Plus! plugin API and the BotDK API in one single plugin.
  
• Compatible with MSN Messenger 7 and up.
  
• Added functionality to retrieve information about a conversation like the IP address of the SwitchBoard server, the SignIn names of the remote participants and more.
  
• Get a notification when someone joins or leaves the conversation.

V1.0 thread
This is the thread started for version 1.0: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=44659.

Feedback
Please test this API and give me feedback on it. Also if you have ideas for extra features, don't hesitate to tell me about it.

Update (feb 26, 2006):
I've done a little update on BotDK.
BotDK.dll doesn't need ApiHooks.dll anymore, which makes redistribution a little bit easier. The current BotDK version is now V2.01.

It's a Good News!


I just tried it 10min ago.... all is working fine !

"[3628] Hooking recv succeeded!
[3628] BotDK loaded successfully!"
and hooking is working!....

so... Thank you for correcting bugs, and thank you for your good job!
(I haven't got the time to exploit it fully for the moment, but I think that combinating MessengerPlus! API and BotDK API is a really good idea.... )

Downloading now!
If I like it, is it possible to make a statically-linked .LIB?

Well um is there anyway you can convert this in the ise on vb man i h8 .net and i dont wanna re-download it

I don't think....

As the readme say:

code:

---

You can use (almost) all COM-compatible development environments. Only exception is Visual Basic 6. You can’t use VB6 for creating plugins, because VB6 doesn’t support multithreading. Multithreading is needed because every conversation is handled in it’s own thread, so notifications will come from different threads.

To do that, I'll have to change the concept completely. Right now, it's a COM-based API which can be used from almost any COM-compatible programming language. I'd like to keep it like that so developers have maximum freedom.

I'm aware of the slight disadvantage of having to redistribute BotDK with your plugin, but I don't consider that one big enough to change the concept of BotDK.

You shouldn't have to change the concept at all, just compile a static library instead of a DLL.

Never mind anyway, I'll use the DLL

Your new PlugIn is perfect but i can't use DispayToastW function using your example because or is undefined or if i include the file who contain the function it says it's already defined in *.obj...

What shuld i do?

(Excuse me for my orrible english...)
Thanks a lot.

When I include "MPPluginHeader.h" in BotDKPlugin.cpp and use the DisplayToastW function, it compiles and links fine. Maybe you're not using the right version of the Messenger Plus! plugin API?
