Hey guys,
since plus! can't read Groups (new wlm9.0 function), is there a "hack" or trick to get around this?
No.

No.
You can't even check on the number of contacts (oChatWnd.Contacts.Count). Because that doesn't say a thing about the chat window being a group chat or a multi-contact conversation either. In fact, even a group chat or a multi-contact convo could have just 2 people: you and 1 contact. So checking on the number of contacts in the conversation isn't a reliable way either to see if it is a group convo, a multi-contact convo or a simple one-to-one chat.

Nope. You can start a multi-contact chat too.

You can't....
Not until Plus! exposes a way for this, something similar like ChatWnd::IsMobileChat.
Eg: ChatWnd::IsMultiChat and ChatWnd::IsGroupChat.

Maybe checking a relation between OnEvent_ChatWndCreated and OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage?
I don't see how that is going to help you though.

Wouldn't do any good anyways.
Even if you read the window caption, you can not derive from it if it is a group chat, multi-contact chat, or one-to-one chat.
The only possible way I see, for now, (and very maybe) is using the Accessibility APIs to see what kind of (windowless) controls are present on the chat window. Because in a group chat you have slightly different controls/objects. But this isn't as easy as it sounds, and I don't know how reliable that is because of the fact that people can skin conversation windows.

Why do you need this?
