how do you send a message/code/something so that your contact can see that little message: "... is writing a message"

help please...

Nope, that is not possible (without some hassle). To do so you'll have to be able to communicate with the MSN protocol...

I can learn that, but in every message that you send with MSNP you have to send an message-id right?
and that id raises by 1 everytime right?
how do I know what the value of that id is? or doesn't it matter if I send a wrong id?

can't I change the text in the textbox so that msn messenger automatically sends that message?

have a look at ChatWnd and the select and replace text options...


i duno if it will work but its worth a try

I tryed to edit the text in the textbox with ChatWnd.EditText but it doesn't work any more suggestions?

did the text editing not work, or did it not send the message?

edit: try http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url...4-2b56c24affdd.asp

p.s. is it just me or is msdn broken in firefox?

it didn't send the message.
I also tryed to change the text with sendkeys indeed and that worked but that only workes when the chat-window has the focus. If I could get the handle of the textbox then I could do it without needing the focus.
