Hi everyone..
I have a task to implement an addin for msn. I only wanted to know that whether Messenger Plus is implemented by using Microsoft SDK for MSN available from their site or it is implemented through Windows APIs. 
  Microsoft SDK has certain limitaions. Addin built using this SDK can only run on Windows XP and one addin can only run in case of more than one addins.

I'll be grateful if you can help me as early as possible.


Thanks alot.

Well, it depends what you need it for,
if you could give a bit more information as to what you want to do,
we might be able to help you

Well I want to check whether user has signed in or not, Iwant also to let user to send user emails through Msn Messenger.
And one thing more I also want to know how Patchou would have solved  to run Messenger Plus on MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta version.

Thanks alot.

Both features you want can be achieved with window subclassing, and by using the Messenger API
Google them
And for msn programming, you might find this site interresting:

i would also want to know this... as messenger changes its windows procedure (why does it want to do this) with the new messenger beta.


using messenger api. to check if the user is online you could use the  getcontact function..


sending a email through messenger could be easily done via a msgplus plugin

Thanks..
Anyways one of the problems I am also facing is that my menus are not working with MSN 7.0  beta. I problem behind this what I think is that MSN 7.0  beta has some other class other than MSBLWindowClass which can be extracted from the msn window that appears on the screen.
If any one has some solution to that, his help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's quite easy, but I've spent hours finding it, and I'm not gonna give you hours of work for free

I would also be grateful for such information.

Hint: How would MSN set it's own menu?
Hint2: "API Hooking"

dont tell me its appendmenu


well my hooking attempts with c++ failded because msgplus changed the process
