The contact's e-mail? awsome, thanks.

That is not the contact's email, that is a COM interface... try this:
http://www.msnfanatic.be/forums/index.php?showtopic=5799

It shows the basics of using the Messenger API in c++. They also have it in VB...

You can get the email of the contacts in the chat from the MessengerConversationWnd object

what do i need to do to get the plugin to show in the plugins menu?

i have added this

MPPLUGIN_RETURN_BOOL PublishInfo(/*[out]*/ char *sPluginName,
                                 /*[out]*/ PLUGIN_PUBLISH_LIST* aCommands,
                                 /*[out]*/ PLUGIN_PUBLISH_LIST* aTags)
{

    strcpy(sPluginName, "XFade V1.0 By Finn");
    aCommands->nCount = 3;
    strcpy(aCommands->sName[0], "Help");
    strcpy(aCommands->sValue[0], "XFade");
    strcpy(aCommands->sName[1], "Random Fade");
    strcpy(aCommands->sValue[1], "XRFade");
    strcpy(aCommands->sName[2], "Multiple Fade");
    strcpy(aCommands->sValue[2], "XNFade");
    aTags->nCount = 0;

    return TRUE;
}


but still the plugin menu is greyed out

Patchou:

I beleive there's a problem with the Initialization function (I tried in VB only). I was just looking around the stuff and I wanted to try that function so I added this command: msgbox sUserMail
to your sample vb class and recompiled, reloaded and the msgbox worked in fact but msn didn't log in. I cancelled log in and tried again without restarting msn and then it worked fine.
Next, I erased the command I added and recompiled, reloaded and then it worked allright.

I beleive there's something to do with calling msgboxes from the initialize. I will try more commands and post again..

Nice work Patchou, can't thank u enough

Great Job as always Patchou!!!

cxd: I think the problem is only that you must not block the thread using a message box during dignin. You can do it to do a test but dont be surprized if Messenger refuses to login .

Finn: my guess is that you forgot to update the def file of your project so the PublishInfo function is not exported correctly.

Patchou

why does the file say 2.20.45?
