I want to display MSN default Emoticons (e.g. ,) in a PlusWnd by using ImageElmt_SetImageFile. How can I access those default Emoticons??

Thank you very much!!

They are a resource or msglang.dll. You will have to use the LoadResource API and extract the emoticon file. However each emoticon is stored in 1 single file with a pink background. You will have to read a specific part of the image and make it transparent for what you are wanting to do. It would be better to simply save each emoticon as a PNG and call them that way. Just enable chat logging and send someone every msn emoticon. Plus! will save them as PNGs in an Images folder under your Chat Log directory. Much easier althought it will bloat the PLSC a bit it is a much better way.

Take a look at this reply by Jurjenz
It has all Emoticons in PNG format the zip file attached to his post.

Thanks very much!!
