get_MyFriendlyName in Initialize not working? by Flatulus on 10-26-2005 at 02:11 PM

Hello

When i invoke the function get_MyFriendlyName in Initialize( ), it returns MSGR_E_NOT_LOGGED_ON.

I guess that's normal... but how can i get the FriendlyName without being logged on?

Basically, what i want to do is append something to my name like "@ Work" automatically each time i connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Misread the question...

To get your name, you can use the MyFriendlyName property of the oMessenger object passed to Initialize...

Messenger Plus! can already do this, using the registry setting, 'NameOnSignin'.

More details can be found --> Help: Registry Tweaks

I'd recommend using Choli's Plus! Tweak also found on the same page unless you are confortable editing the registry.
