O.P. How to call SetNewName periodically?
I'm writing a plugin to call SetNewName in a separate thread, and of course, it does not work. (Reason is mentioned in the API doc)

What I want is to call SetNewName to change nick every 60 seconds.

Does anyone can tell how to write the plugin? Or, just an exe which can achieve the goal?

(I'm using C/C++)

Thanks,

SetTimer.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Create a window from the main thread (initialize), and make a little windowmessage to call SetNewName,
then from the other thread, call SendMessage to the window :)
this will probably fix your issue ;)
