Plugins Development by Doggie-Dogq on 11-22-2004 at 06:06 PM

Hello all.

I'm interested in developing some plugins for Messenger Plus and would like to know how is it done?
Do they have some SDK? some DLL? I dunno I just would like to know how to make them ?? *-)

Thanks in advance, Gabriel. 8-|

Hi, I am thinking of creating a plugin which will sign me in after I sign out for some specified time. Since I want to leave my msn sign in eventhough I am not at my computer or in case of that I sign in somewhere else and it disconnects my account on my computer but after that specified time it will be back again. By this way I can be online all the time. After I read the API and the sample source code in C++, I can't see how could I do it. Because the plug in will be reloaded every time the user log in and that also terminates the instance so it never works. I am wondering that whether this is possible to do and could anyone give me some advice. ( I am very new to C++ as well)

I'm planning this feature for Project RP, which will be a proxy for Messenger.
I can't see how this can work as a plugin, but then again, threading could be used.
In fact, that's probably the best way to do it. Pseudocode:

code:
In Uninitialize():
Create thread on custom function

In your own function (call it what ever you want):
Sleep for x seconds
Use the IMessenger3 pointer to start a sign-in

Thank you all, I was searching for that quite a long time.

Thanks raceprouk, I have a little busy time at the moment so my project has to be put off. Since I am very new on visual C++, i have to learn how to create a thread first. Unfortunately, my Delphi and java knowledge does not help much on Visual C++ style. Thank you for suggestions.
