Hi there,

I was wondering how you would go about getting the "What I Am Listening to Now" as a variable in VB or C++. I want to display this on a webpage. If MsgPlus is able to look at it for notifications it must be stored somewhere in memory.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks.
Jason.

I think it would be hard to get it in VB or C.
But..... you can export!

For example, consider this code:

code:

---

function create_xh() {
try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
catch ( e ) {
try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }
catch ( e ) { return false; }
}
}

---

is used to create an XMLHttpRequest object
(the same one used in web to make ajax requests)


Then, create a GET request to a URL.. For example your website is located at http://127.0.0.1/ and you make a file called setmypersonalmessage.php so the script can send the request to it.

code:

---

xh.open ('GET', 'http://127.0.0.1/setmypersonalmessage.php?' + 'password=abcdefg&s=' + encodeURI(Messenger.MyPersonalMessage), true);
xh.send ('');

---

The script in your web should be used to...
- check your password
- update the database wth the string recieved.

For example...

code:

---

<?php

if ($_GET['password'] == 'abcdefg') {
$fp = fopen('iamlistento.txt', 'w');
fwrite ($fp, $_GET['s']);
fclose ($fp);
}

?>

Wow

great idea, i'll give that a blast when i've got more time on my hands

cheers
