Hi.

I know this sounds really stupid and ultra n00by but I would really like to be able to make a plug-in or something like that for MSN Messenger but I don't know how! Don't worry, I don't want a hole tutorial as that would take you guys ages and I don't want to waste your time but could someone please tell me where to start What programs would I need and stuff like that

Thanks

You would need to learn a programming language like Visual Basic or C++ and you need a program to compile the dll, like Visual Studio from MS

i also would want to do this is there a free comfiler and any good guides?

Mmm, so are you saying to do a course or something to learn the code or could I do it myself?

[Edit] And would those programs be free?

not a course how did you learn html css etc playing around and i've became pritty good now

is there any goof guides are how did you guys start off

I suggest to buy a book and read it and begin with some basic stuff and if you get a hang of it try to make a basic plugin.

And I thought that Borland was a free C++ compiler, but if you don't know how to code you better begin with Visual Basic. Don't know if there is a free Visual Basic compiler.

Out of experience I can tell you that Visual Basic isn't that hard to learn. I once made a little program to blink your keyboard lights

Was fun at school, people went crazy cause they didn't know how to stop it

BTW... You have to stop it by going to taskmanager and stop SysTray.exe

Hmmm... Programming For Dummies

thanks ezra you have helped me alot as some of you may know i get into projects and i do learn and thanks to you forum member i now know:

html
css
grahics

That's my problem too, totally no idea's and when I think about something it's too complicated for me and I quit

BTW: I learned HTML by copying from others , and learning PHP at school, and next year i'm gonna learn to code , YAY!

BTW: Good site for learning is www.w3schools.com

Sorry for the double post btw...

I've been trying to make a vb plugin today, but I won't seem to work

Remember I don't know much of vb

code:

---

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, ByVal sUserEmail As String, ByVal oMessenger As Object) As Boolean
    Initialize = True
End Function

Public Function Uninitialize()
End Function

Public Function Configure()
    MsgBox "Plugin van Ezra" + vbLf + "Author: Ezra", vbOKOnly, "Ezra"
End Function

Public Function GetPublishInfo(ByRef sPluginName As String, ByRef nCommandCount As Long, ByRef nTagCount As Long) As Boolean
    sPluginName = "Ezra's Plugin"
    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 = "Schrijf me naam"
        sValue = "xezra"
        sHelp = "Schrijf me naam"
    End If
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), "/xezra", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
        sResult = "Mijn naam is Ezra"
        ParseCommand = True
        Exit Function
    End If
End Function
