It's defineitely possible, as Plus does it itself.

when?

What I meant is, it can add or at least replace strings. For instance, When you recieve a sound, when you use the /me command. Thats all I can think of at the moment though.

When sounds are send or recieved, your contact will get exactly the same line too...

There is also a big difference between adding a line to only your window (thus not send it) and replacing an existing sent/recieved line.

I am aware of that. However, it is possible to trick Messenger into what it is recieving by injecting data into the data it recieves. However, like i've said it requires a Proxy/Hook.

Possible: Yes.
Easy: No.

Yes but my point was that your statement that "it is possible because Plus! does it" is wrong, Plus! doesn't do such a thing.

And injecting data to the connection via a proxy wouldn't be the way to go. What you need todo is "simply" adding some text to the conversation window, nothing must be send for this (in fact nothing may be send, or it is not what is been requested).

Yes I know. I was just saying some possible ways how to do it. I should have rephrased what I said, and I apologise.

So the way to do it would be to hook richedit like plus does/did?

Not hook richedit really...these are windowless controls, not richedit (specifically the WLEditT class)...meaning that you have to call the functions to change them (which are in messenger, but it is possible to compile a header for them in c++, among other ways).

You can use active accessibility too.

Once you have that, you can modify it, like plus does...however adding text may not be possible, or plus would probably let scripts return a string longer than the message in the Message Received event..
