I've finsihed a very b3ta version (well everything works) of my display picture and status changer, although sadly it only works on msn6.1
I didn't think this would be a big deal though as pretty soon everyone will be using it

the way it works is:
type:
/xdpsettings
to choose your away display picture
and:
/xdpaway
to change your pic and change your status to away with the away dialogue popping up also

Also your away display pic is saved for each profile so you only need set it once (or something like that)

give me your feedback

since installn it me unable to signin me tryed on 6.1.0114 & 6.1.0128

which beta of msn 6.1 are you using wipey?  cos i cant get the code to change my display picture.  Your plugin works though.  i small thing, after you click save settings, the form stays there, it doesnt shut it.  could i see the source of it to help me see how you got it working?

I'm using the latest (last one posted on mess.be) the source is pretty messy but I'll sort it out for ya...maybe aslong as u dont outdo my plugin

you may be having some problems with the registry as it uses the registry to store it's settings and creates a key for ur email and retrieves any settings on signin

OMG!
HHe made it to steel our sign in username & password!!
GET HIM!
lol j/k

ok,
but if itsn ot msn messenger 6.1 watch ur back cos i be snaping it in half in

hahaha exero

I used '2' instead of the constant lol guess you read that thread also

martin what version of windows are you running? I've only really tested it on XP

this thread for display pic changer thingy
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=16158

so you used oMessenger.MyProperty('2') = "c:\fish.bmp"

cool msn messenger 6.1
thanks

code:

---

oMessenger.MyProperty(2) = "c:\fish.bmp"

---

the code still doesnt work for me.  it just freezes my vb.  any ideas?

um there should be a backslash in the file path to the picture lol like:

oMessenger.MyProperty(2) = "c:\fish.bmp"

other than that I'm not sure :\

where can i get some info on that oMessenger.MyProperty ??

well in the messenger api docs I have it says:

MyProperty Property

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reserved for future use. Do not use.

Syntax

object.MyProperty( ePropType As MCONTACTPROPERTY ) [= vPropVal]

Parameters

object
An object reference that resolves to the name of the Messenger object.
ePropType
An MCONTACTPROPERTY enumeration.
vPropVal
A Variant used to set the property value. (Variant type differs depending on the property being set.)
Error Codes

Error Code Meaning
0x80070057 Returned in all cases. This method is reserved for future use.

Client or Service Dependencies

No client or service dependencies for this method.

Scripting

The MyProperty property is scriptable, but read-only.

VBScript Syntax
[ pvPropVal = ]MessengerObject.MyProperty


which is basically microsoft's way of saying 'hush hush you're not meant to know about stuff in version 6' but some guy posted the code on the msnfanatic forums over here

there may be info on the web about this but I havent looked

[edit]
ooh found some stuff on MCONTACTPROPERTY:

MCONTACTPROPERTY Enumeration

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Used to ask for the property that indicates to which groups a user belongs or the contact's e-mail address.

Syntax

Enum MCONTACTPROPERTY
    MCONTACTPROP_GROUPS_PROPERTY = 0
    MCONTACTPROP_EMAIL = 1
End Enum

Constants

MCONTACTPROP_GROUPS_PROPERTY
Used to ask for the property that indicates to which groups a user belongs.

MCONTACTPROP_EMAIL
Used to ask for the property that indicates the contact's e-mail address.

although it doesnt really help in this lol
[/edit]

That's new in the API of msn messenger for the new functions, they build it in but still didn't activate it

I...don't know sorry lol
what VB are u running, maybe it could be something to do with you're api type library, invalid filepath to ur pic, a list of things
