O.P. RE: Impossible due to protocol
ok, this really has nothing to do with the protocol.

but is it possible to get the hwnd of the actual Display picture, and the actual XML Form where the text is?

i know it's all on a control, but can you go deeper into that control to get the specific handle that you need?

No, you can't ;)
It's all windowless, It's just a big window and the display picture is painted upon that specific place, it's not a control of some sort...

So it may not be possible to get the HWND of the DP itself, but what about the button next to it that hides it? Surely that's a control, and being a control has an HWND...

well, it is a control, but it doesnt have a HWND, as MSN draws it itself, and does hittesting by itself too :P
So unless you have a very good knowledge of asm, it's impossible ;)

just wondering something, how does plus add it's little Icon on the chat window. does it hook the creation of the window? and draw it on there to. or just a simple "CreateWindowEx" call?

Sorry but what your saying about DP's reminds me of the LADP Animated Display pictures thread, whatever happened to that?
