Recently in China, I found a computer program can send handwriting message through msn messenger even if your OS is not the tablet pc windows xp version.

Could it be implemented to MSN messenger plus 3.x ?

See detail at http://www.infopen.com.tw/v2/msn.asp

But it is Chinese only.

Hope Plus could add this feature in 3.x.

Though draw in mouse is ugly sometimes, but it is more funny.

Anyone who wants I to translate anything in the site (it's a site in Taiwan, Traditional Chinese), please just reply with the sections you need (I'm not online all day anyway), as this function does seem interesting...I'll just try to do it

Basically the program doesn't patch messenger exe file but I don't think it only uses Windows API Hook. The program perhaps may lead system unstability...haven't installed this 17.7 MB package myself, actually.

By the way, the file you can download from the site is a 30-day trial version, please do not provide a crack or something similar. (Yeah I must admit, some people in Taiwan are terrible pirates)

I don't think it will unstablize windows.
I myself have installed the trial version.
It works fine.

Actually, the software just activates the tablet pc windows' feature on msn messenger. So I think could we in the PLUS 3.x activate the feature too?

Yeah, i like it handwriting. And what are those tabs? Never seen them before?? Is this only in Chinese MSN Messenger, or is it an addon/plugin ??

//EDIT
This doesnt realy help, does it: English Translation by Babelfish

//EDIT2
hmmm it translations to question marks :/  WEll just go to http://babelfish.altavista.com and enter http://www.infopen.com.tw/v2/msn.asp as website which should be translated

handwriting  ==> Switch to handwriting mode (send message using handwriting)

conversion  ==> Convert the handwriting to keyboard message.

keyboard ==> The original keyboard mode(send message using keyboard)

The stuff makes you use mouse to "draw" handwriting that was only  available on tablet pc windows XP  version on desktop pc windows XP pro or home version.

Ah it seems to be very interesting

Maybes a little more advanced than PLus! should be I think this is one that should certainly be left out

Choli:

It's InfoPenOE (For Outlook Express) or InfoPenOL (For Outlook that comes with Micro$oft Office) that adds the handwriting function to OE/Outlook and then additionally provides the handwriting function for MSN Messenger. (Note I say Add, but actually the core of the techonology is .net messenger service's Ink thing)
Like what we had known when Windows Messenger 5 beta version screenshots were revealed, Micro$oft has been designing the Ink function for WM5 and MM6 (-off topic-I remember at that time we didn't know there was sure to be the existence of MSN Messenger 6 and we thought Micro$oft made a typo-off topic-). The functions are not officially provided for Windows XP Home/Pro/MCE but only Tablet PC Edition. I think that Micro$oft didn't itself develop the handwriting technology but cooperated with other company to achieve it...I just wonder if this alternating action is of legality or appropriate (as I mentioned in the ealier post, the program doesn't seem to patch anything but api hooks)...how about Choli your comments?

Oh I forgot...what counts is Patchou himself's comment

I will as well use the function if it gets coded into Plus! It's awesome, even though my hand-writing pad (well, what it's called in Chinese) is only 640x480 and no pressure-sensitive.

If so, consequently, Patchou may not be able to include it Plus! easily or for free.

I meant that, maybe the technology to activate the handwriting function which didn't officially come with Windows XP Home/Pro/MCE isn't publicly made known

It's too rare that Plus! being such a great software is free (don't take this serious)

---

OK i've downloaded and tested

Notes:

i don't get the "Convert" function (divides the place to write in 2 parts but can't manage to convert anything )

your contact DOES NOT NEED the program to get the "ink messages" (that's the real name)

MSN Messenger 6 (such as Windows Messenger 5) have the ink message support (creation and reception) BUT, the creation will be activated ONLY in Tablet PCs....

What infopen does is activate it, not add (it adds it to outlook though), so i doubt Patchou would get on any trouble by activating it with Plus!

it's kinda stupid, but REALLY fun...

btw the infopen will only "hook" with the MSN Messenger if the runned .exe is called msnmsgr.exe

this makes me REALLY want XP.

my writing is messy so i wouldn't want people to see it.

Hmmm cool but on mess.be on the download page they made it somehow to get a picture there!Any suggetion on doing this?

it would defenitly be cool if this function was in msgplus, i think if you know how to do this, you can also send pictures in messages, like on the mess screenshot, since that would use the same programming

THIS MUST BE INCLUDED IN PLUS! 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



THIS IF FUCKING AWESOME!!!

so..ok. what are the exact sys requirements for this program??

You need to have
1. Windows 2000/XP (And I think it works for Svr 2003/Longhorn)
2. MSN Messenger 6.0/6.1
3. Outlook or Outlook Express

Slim Shady, how did you get these tabs in English?

I use English version of MSN Messenger

yeah me too, but those tabs appear in english then? I thought these tabs were in chinese too because the installer is in english mmm that means im gonna try this program

The program activates the function pre-provided in MSN Messenger so it's in the language in which your msgslang.dll is.

But now that Patchou says he wouldn't add this... http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21...d=206793#pid206793

anyone know where to get the full version the thing on mess.be is a 30 day trial version

You have to pay if you want to use it for more than 30 days.

There are of course ways around this, but I am not obliged to post them.

ok i'll rephrase it does anybody know where i could purchase *crack/hack* a serial code the supposed website www.infopen.com.cn doesn't work at all so how are they gonna get their money anyway

If you want to 'Pay' for the program then in your start menu (if you installed it) should be InfoPen > "How To Register" .. click that

But i sugest that you dont pay

Originally, the infopen couldn't let you draw in msn messenger.
So, the above file is the patch file to make infopen be able to draw in msn messenger.

It's only about 600kb.

After a while, infopen included this in it's new released version. You don't need the patch any more.

If we want to make msn messenger to draw, I think the patch file is the key.

I'm no computer expert. Hope someone can take a look about this.

---------------------------
FAIL
---------------------------
InfoPenOE upgrade failed! You need to install InfoPenOE( Version: 3.110.2080.1135 ),and then run MSNPatch again!

InfoPenOL upgrade failed! You need to install InfoPenOL( Version: 3.110.3080.1135 ),and then run MSNPatch again!


---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I said "Originally".........

So that means infopen about version 3.110.2080.1135.

If you have the newer version, you don't and can't use the patch.

how do i use this convert thing??? and it says i need a serial code which i don't know where to obtain to purchase the program.

It is possible todo with MSN Messenger for Plus it must be because Tablet PC does it with the Same MSN Messenger, so there must be away to get it to allow in Plus!. And Patchou said it would be tricking them, seems not in my opinion if its in their already how is it. Anway im probs wrong btu it would be nice

it works in outlook but does not work in messenger .............gaaaaaayy


and im using win me.....it works and it dont work i only wanted it for messenger

  I think in a few days you'll see a small plugin which can do it for you

can also get the plugin at http://kaonet.net

Does this one run out of free trial?

NO! Its just plugin for Plus! and you can use it as long as you want... you will never even notice it after installation!! Just delete all the InfoPens you got and install that one!!

if you want the handwriting recognition working, you must install a recog sw as PENREADER or
PENOFFICE2.5 to add that feature on plugin. works nice but much better with a regular tablet with pen (not tabletpc)
