RE: How was Plus! done?
Please excuse the sarcastic tone of this post. It's meant to be joyful and amusing (maybe even comic). Erm... Nice! Apparently ECO is what Detours uses in the first place. Well, for my part I'm satisfied. I believe further questions would not belo...

RE: How was Plus! done?
:( All went well, until I tried hooking the resources. If I "DetourAttach" [i]FindResource[/i], [i]LoadResource [/i]or [i]SizeOfResource[/i] Plus! stops working. I still get the menu bar, but the only item on Plus!'s menu is "Software not loaded....

RE: How was Plus! done?
I got it! I got it! Thanks vikke! I owe you a million! Now I can rest :) Wow... this had really been nagging me. Back to real life now :([hr] What's so special about the signature?:huh: (guess I could always look at the assembly, take a few classes ...

RE: How was Plus! done?
Wel... It's part of my evil plan to dominate the world through hipnotizing rays coming out of Msn Messenger. (6) LOL, no really... I figure if I can load it I'll get Plus! :D (Well... again :)) Because right now I load the Dll's but Plus!'s stuf...

RE: How was Plus! done?
Hey guys! I got my fake Dll working :) And thanks to [code]#pragma warning( disable:4273 )[/code] it even compiles nicely! Now comes the fun part... Anyone knows the signature of [i]Initialize[/i] in MsgPlusLive.dll ?

RE: How was Plus! done?
Hi guys! It's me again :) So, if you shouldn't load libraries in msimg32.dll's DllMain, where do you do it? You have to load [i]MsgPlusLive.dll[/i] somewhere... Is this one of those times when you do it, even though is dangerous?

RE: How was Plus! done?
Hehe. Hooking windows sounds fun :grin: Can't wait to add my own menus to Messenger! That will have to wait though. All the examples I've seen so far are a bit outdated and/or won't compile in VS 2005. When I get some free time I'll play around w...

RE: How was Plus! done?
So if I understood this correctly : Plus!, using a proxy [i]msimg32.dll[/i] and the [i]detoured.dll[/i] library attaches itself to Messenger. It then intercepts Messenger's API calls by changing the code in memory (not the file in the hard drive) to...

RE: How was Plus! done?
Right! I think I'm starting to understand :) I'll do some research and find out how to add cool buttons and menus to a program window before I nag you with more questions :D A big 'Thank you' to ShawnZ and Baggins!

RE: How was Plus! done?
That explains it! ^^ And the detoured.dll too I suppose :) Well, I guess I have one more question :D How did Patchou ( ? ) figure out where he needed to attach Plus! and which calls to detour to make Messenger do all those shiny things like coloured ...

How was Plus! done?
Hi! I just installed Plus! and was curious about how it worked. I don't know much about windows programming... I was wondering if someone could explain to me how is it that Plus! attaches itself to Messenger when I run it. I looked at the original M...
