O.P. [Doubt] Contact information.
Hi guys,

When we right-click on a contact and check their info we can see last online.

How do I access this information at runtime?

Also, is there a way to change the tooltip that comes up when I hover the mouse above the contacts?

Thanks guys!

That still will only tell you when they were last online from plusses records, not when they were last online full stop...

That works for me though.

My thing is.. I have my MSN pretty much 24/7 and sometimes I want to know when a friend of mine was last online. Or if I just missed that hot chick :)

Sure that works if I right-click on each of the contacts individually and then hit contact info.

My idea is to alter (if possible) the tooltip that comes up when mouse is over the contact so it shows Last Online: .. as well.

Thanks for the reply

Well it's not possible unless patchou decides to add it to Plus!, or a script does advanced hooking to retrieve it. I don't think a script could even access the last time online though...

The contact list clean up window shows everyone's offline time, which is quicker than looking individually.

Since we're talking about it...
Anyway you guys think is possible to retrieve last online info from the server itself?

A bit more of an explanation:

No, because it is impossible to get information from the servers that it doesn't provide using the protocol...

The server probably doesn't even store that information itself...

Well I was messgin around with my registry and I found that you can get the info from last online there. At least the way you see on the Contact Info thing. The only problem is .. the email and last online data is encrypted.


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\your@email.com\Contacts

Is the path. Anyone willing to help me out on this one?

But getting that to show in a tooltip is another matter... Although if you could decrypt it then you could perhaps have a command that shows the offline time in a toast maybe? :/
