O.P. My Plugin isn't recognized!!!
Hello Everybody.

I used Dev-C++4.9.9.2 to realize my plugin.  To do it, I used a plugin which works (MPPluginC.Cpp) and I just some parts of the code.  I compile it with none error.

The problem is that the MPPluginC works (he is recognized by MSN) but not my plugin, called NickNameChanger.

Is someone coud help me?

Tell us...what exactly did you do to install your plugin?

In what directory is it, have you added something to the register, runned some other commands?

I copy my plugin, the .dll file, in the directory \MessengerPlus! 3\Plugins and i add in the register the name of the plugin (what it is view with msn) and the name of the file.

When I open msn, in the plugin option (my plugin is called Nickname Changer), I see
Not Loaded: Nickname Changer

Do you return true on Initialise?

And also have you tried checking the box next to Nickname Changer and restarting messenger?

For initialize, i return true (and it is the only thing there is in my code for this function).

When I check the box and i restart msn, the box is unchek when i'm going to see in plugin option.

If you want, i can attach the code source.  It will maybe be easier for you,

As it's a C++ plugin, you don't need to do anything with the Registry.

if i don't do anything whit the registry, there are nothing in the plugin option in msn.  In registry, i put the following line:
Nickname Changer     REG_SZ     NickNameChanger.dll

Which is not what you need to add though....

A stated in the official plugin documentation:

The name of the key is the string you want to be shown in Plus! plugin preferences window.

But more importantly (and what you did wrong) the value must be the name of your project (thus as set in your project properties) followed by a dot and the class object which contains the Plus! functions.

Thus the value is not the filename of your DLL. But is determined by stuff you've set in your project.

;)

-----------

This said, I don't know if you need to specify all this at all, since it is in Dev-C++.... The registry adding is only requirement for ActiveX DLL's (VB DLL's) and .NET stuff...

I'm guessing it's a COM DLL then.

Since it's a C++ DLL, why use COM? Just do it all native.
