Hi!
I was wondering if anyone could make a plugin that would make it so everytime I logged off it would update my name to tell the time that I logged off.  I would appreciate a response either way.

Thanx

That would be difficult since with a Plugin the Unitialize function provided is triggered once you have signed out or exited Messenger. So in actual fact if you tried to change your name it wouldn't work because you are not signed in. You can however make a /x command that will change your name and sign you off/exit messenger for you.

Could anyone help me with Matty's suggestion?

code:

---

Option Explicit
Public MessengerAPI As Object

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, _
                           ByVal sUserEmail As String, _
                           ByVal oMessenger As Object) _
                            As Boolean

    Initialize = True
    Set MessengerAPI = oMessenger
End Function

Public Function Uninitialize()
End Function

Public Function Configure()
End Function

Public Function GetPublishInfo(ByRef sPluginName As String, _
                               ByRef nCommandCount As Long, _
                               ByRef nTagCount As Long) _
                               As Boolean
    sPluginName = "Change Name and sign off"
    nCommandCount = 1
    nTagCount = 0   
    GetPublishInfo = True
End Function

Public Function GetPublishCommandInfo(ByVal nCommandIdx As Long, _
                                      ByRef sName As String, _
                                      ByRef sValue As String, _
                                      ByRef sHelp As String)
    If (nCommandIdx = 1) Then
        sName = "Change name and sign off"
        sValue = "xsignoff"
        sHelp = "<new name>"
    End If
End Function

Public Function GetPublishTagInfo(ByVal nTagIdx As Long, _
                                  ByRef sName As String, _
                                  ByRef sValue As String)
End Function

Public Function ParseCommand(ByVal sCommand As String, _
                             ByVal sCommandArg As String, _
                             ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, _
                             ByRef sResult As String) _
                             As Boolean

    If (StrComp(LCase(sCommand), "/xsignoff", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
        Dim blnReturn As Boolean
        Dim strNewName As String
        strNewName = Left(Right(sCommandArg, Len(sCommandArg)-1), Len(sCommandArg)-1)
        blnReturn = SetNewName(strNewName)
        sResult = ""
        ParseCommand = True
        MessengerAPI.SignOut()
        Exit Function
    End If
    ParseCommand = False
End Function


Public Function ParseTag(ByVal sTag As String, _
                         ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, _
                         ByRef sResult As String) _
                         As Boolean
    ParseTag = False
End Function

Public Function ReceiveNotify(ByVal sNotifyCode As String, _
                              ByVal sText As String, _
                              ByVal sContactName As String, _
                              ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, _
                              ByRef sTextToSend As String) _
                              As Boolean
    ReceiveNotify = False
End Function

You can do this with MsgPlus! itself:

Go to the Preferences panel of MsgPlus! > Message Helpers > Quick Texts

ALIAS:
/mysignout (or whatever you want to call it)

MESSAGE:
/nick Signed out: (!D) (!T)
#3#/signout

When you want to sign out, just type "/mysignout" and it'll do what you want.

(If it didn't change your nickname, try changing the 3 for a higher number (up to 9 is allowed, though))

Edit: or use what Matty gave you.

Edit 2: you can also check out the help on the website.

I think I found where to put all that stuff in at killov, but, I dont know what boxes what goes in.

where do each of these things go individually?

Thanks in advance

Check it out, I edited my previous message.

Edit: you're welcome

Hey that worked perfectly, Thank you both very much
