Conflist with MSN DX2 by Chugboat on 11-08-2005 at 08:07 PM

Hi all, :D 

Anyways, I have Messenger Plus and MSN Discovery X2 on my PC. In my main msn window, on the furthest right you can go of the bar which (unless you change it) has things like the new e-mail count on it, there is the MSN Discovery X logo which an triggers option toolbar when clicked on, just like the one with Messenger Plus.

But here's my problem - the two of them seem to conflict. Both only appear at the same time when you have just maximised a window or something, and then the Messenger Plus one disappears. There has been times when it is the other way round but this is less common. I have reported this on the MSN Discovery X2 forums and they think it may be an Messenger Plus problem rather than an MSN Discovery X2 problem.

Does anyonw know of a way in which i could fix this bug so that they can both appear? Thanks...  :S

first, it's Messenger Discovery, not MSN...
Second, the plus! logo and the MDX logo use a diffirent method of hooking (i hope i'm right here :p) so they should not conflict, the plus! logo does dissapear in some skins but i don't think that's your problem.
i just don't think they conflict, i guess (tho the odds are small) that plus! isn't working the way it should?

Afaik, the hooking method is the same..

1. WM_PAINT is recieved.
2. SetParent icon back to our form
3. Parent the icon onto new window


Well that is what i would do anyway :P

nope, not really :p

As for compatibility with MDX, I thought the latest version of this plugin had fixed it.

Aparently not. I had a friend who installed MDX about 2 weeks ago and came across the same problem as mentioned by Chugboat earlier in this thread. And yes my friend does have the latest Messenger Plus! installed.

The latest version of MDX, that was released this week, does fix this problem.

Get it from http://www.msgdiscovery.com/download.php

Current version: 2.0.01 (Released 6th October 2005)

It does fix the problem, but it was released a month ago, not a week.

The version which i was talking about was the one released this week. See the minor update on the mdx news page http://www.msgdiscovery.com/news.php
I am not sure if previous versions already had this bug fixed
