Shoutbox

Well the argument sContactName in ReceiveNotify indicates the sender of the Notify...
But it is a "parsed" name, which means that all format tags in the contact's name have been parsed...

If I want to know if the notify is sent by me, I have to use Messenger.MyFriendlyName to do a string compare with sContactName...but MyFriendlyName gives a contact name with unparsed format tags...

And therefore I can't compare them two, because one of them(sContactName) doesn't have format tags while the other one(MyFriendlyName) does

I have tried to get rid of the format tags myself, but I am quite stuffed with Ctrl+K one...so I don't think it's a practicable way.

Same happens with IMessengerContact.FriendlyName of course...

I suggest Patchou make sContactName's value be "raw" contact name, with unparsed format tags...

Do you get me?

I understand what you mean... but instead, I think I should just provide a function to clear all the control characters from the string. If I remember to do it, you'll have it

Thanks dude...
There are just too many possibilities of code combination(one digit, two digits, RGB color, Hex RGB color, with or without background) for Ctrl+K...

Better yet, pass the e-mail of the contact instead of the display name.

or both?
