Multiline Nickname Without Plus! by matty on 05-22-2004 at 12:02 AM

Just in case you guys all wanted to know something very interesting, we no longer need Messenger Plus! to create Multiline Nicknames as we can do it with Messenger itself with a bit of tweaking tho.

Download ResHack from here and do the following.

Open the msglang.dll file
Open the Dialog section
Locate Dialog number 202

(It is the 5th control in the list)

code:
   CONTROL "", 1138, EDIT, ES_LEFT | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP, 41, 32, 173, 14
to
code:
   CONTROL "", 1138, EDIT, ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_WANTRETURN | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 42, 30, 205, 20
(It is the 5th control in the list)

Now when using the multiline you press CTRL+Enter to skip to a new line. Enjoy everyone

I wrote a tutorial a while ago similar to this explaining the same thing, but i think it also explained how to do it so when you press enter it only moves to the next line, and doesn't submit the name.
It was on the skinning forums under the tutorials section if you can find it...

Simple, old, but simple.

Add "ES_WANTRETURN" after " | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ". That should fix the ctrl + enter "limitation" =)

Mine has always been

code:
   CONTROL "", 1138, EDIT, ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_WANTRETURN | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP, 41, 15, 173, 31

Reread the thread (and the very first post), It's all about reshack. The posters are only telling WHAT to change, so you can do it yourself without the aid of all those patches...

In other words, start reading (whole) threads instead of asking things already said/solved/etc and spam... ;)
