Okz i got it to work and i found out why it wasnt working before, it was because i was trying to call the MyFriendlyName API when messenger wsant signed in.
Now that ive fixed that does anyone know a better way to change your name than to make a convo window type /nick and change it? Because that method is much to slow and invonvienent for what im trying to do.
Thanks, when im done i will submit as much opensource as i think could help anyone starting out.
Ive already made some nice stuff, but does anyone know how u send multiple variables to a function eg:

code:

---

Public Function Thingy(1stvar As String, 2ndvar As String)
blah blah
End Function
------
Thingy(blahblah,blehbleh)

---

functions should work fine with multiple variables

and use shellexecute to open a webpage

Thanx dude, btw i just need 2 know 1 more thing
How do u detect when messengers signed in?
i tried that Event OnSignin thing but i dont know how to use it.
This is my 2nd day in vb And thats all i need to submit my first version of my plugin!

they is already a song to name plugin...it was made by leamond..
(first plugin i ever tested)

then in version 2. it was helped along by dj mystic

Yer i saw that, but all the ones ive seen dont do i want them to do, and i think its a pretty cool way to pick up my skills.
So do u know how to detect when u signon?

yes

i do

code:

---

private msn as messengerapi

private sub msn_OnMyStatusChange(hr As Long, mMyStatus As MISTATUS)
if mMyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE then
msgbox " jwb rox0rs "
end if
end sub

---

or u could use initalize, as plugins are loaded after signin

hmm thats still not detecting it i changed it to:

code:

---

Private Sub messengerapi_OnMyStatusChange(hr As Long, mMyStatus As MISTATUS)
If mMyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE Then
Check1.Enabled = True
Else
Check1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

---

[qoute]
or u could use initalize, as plugins are loaded after signin

totally off topic i know but what vb software do you use? and wats the best? willing to pay for one so i dnt mind

At the moment im usin Visual Basic from 'Visual Studio 6 2003 Enterprise'

You've got to remember to include a reference to 'Messenger API Type Library', and then declare a variable:
    Dim MSN As Messenger
Then, in Initialize:
    Set messenger = oMessenger
Then you can use the event.

Yes i have got reference to the Messenger API
and  this is the code im using to load it.

code:

---

Option Explicit
Private WithEvents objMessenger As MessengerAPI.Messenger

---

code:

---

Set objMessenger = New MessengerAPI.Messenger

---

code:

---

Private Sub messengerapi_OnMyStatusChange(hr As Long, mMyStatus As MISTATUS)
If mMyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE Then
Check1.Enabled = True
Else
Check1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

And 'Millenium_edition' instead of quoting stuff ive said and then saying how stupid i am, y dont u help me become smarter, by giving me some code examples and help me fix my problem!

Okz ive fixed everything up now it works fine, except that all the MsgPlus plugins load but not MsgPlus, and in the messenger window all the contacts are duplicated and if you try to do something the messenger window goes black and freezes. What did i do? i have my plugin loading from a if in the initialize function by 'Config.Show VbModal'

code:

Set objMessenger = oMessenger

Oh sorry i forgot to say that i fixed that i used this:

code:

---

OnlineSTAT = MISTATUS_ONLINE
CurrentSTAT = objMessenger.MyStatus
If CurrentSTAT = OnlineSTAT Then
'i am online
Else
'i am offline
End If

Form.Show

Just usin Config.Show doesnt work for me, same with Config.Visible = True.
And that method you mentioned for changing the nickname is sort of what im using now.
Ill try making my config form always on top and see if it will work then.

What about Config.Enabled = True? You never know.

If you want, you can PM me the offending code, and I'll have a look at it.

you have to set it to vbModal I believe...

Yer no matter what i seem to do, whenever i tell my form to load in the initialize function it always crashes msn.
