Regarding Messenger Plus implementation by Immad on 01-31-2005 at 08:21 AM

Hi everyone..
I have a task to implement an addin for msn. I only wanted to know that whether Messenger Plus is implemented by using Microsoft SDK for MSN available from their site or it is implemented through Windows APIs. 
  Microsoft SDK has certain limitaions. Addin built using this SDK can only run on Windows XP and one addin can only run in case of more than one addins.

I'll be grateful if you can help me as early as possible.


Thanks alot.

Immad.

Well I want to check whether user has signed in or not, Iwant also to let user to send user emails through Msn Messenger.
And one thing more I also want to know how Patchou would have solved  to run Messenger Plus on MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta version.

Thanks alot.

Both features you want can be achieved with window subclassing, and by using the Messenger API :)
Google them ;)
And for msn programming, you might find this site interresting:

i would also want to know this... as messenger changes its windows procedure (why does it want to do this) with the new messenger beta.


using messenger api. to check if the user is online you could use the  getcontact function..


sending a email through messenger could be easily done via a msgplus plugin :)

Thanks..
Anyways one of the problems I am also facing is that my menus are not working with MSN 7.0  beta. I problem behind this what I think is that MSN 7.0  beta has some other class other than MSBLWindowClass which can be extracted from the msn window that appears on the screen.
If any one has some solution to that, his help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's quite easy, but I've spent hours finding it, and I'm not gonna give you hours of work for free :P

RE: Regarding Messenger Plus implementation by RaceProUK on 01-31-2005 at 03:37 PM

I would also be grateful for such information.

Hint: How would MSN set it's own menu?
Hint2: "API Hooking"

RE: Regarding Messenger Plus implementation by Stigmata on 01-31-2005 at 06:40 PM

:o

dont tell me its appendmenu :D


well my hooking attempts with c++ failded because msgplus changed the process :(

RE: Regarding Messenger Plus implementation by TheBlasphemer on 01-31-2005 at 09:52 PM

API Hooking is NOT window subclassing/hooking...

May Isugest you bring this discussion to MSN Fanatic? :).I don't have any problem letting you discuss this here but I think MSN Fanatic is more apropriate for technical requests ofthis nature.

RE: Regarding Messenger Plus implementation by Immad on 02-02-2005 at 08:07 AM

Patchou I mailed to you the same query. As you have solved the problem yourself you are the best person to answer this. If you want to keep something secret then you can also give me hints. that give also do for me. I really need to know it badly.

I've given valid hints further up the thread :P
they should be enough, if you're willing to spend some time on it...
if you're not willing to spend time on it, and just want us to give you copy-paste ready code, we're not going to do that, give up :P
