O.P. How to develop a Plugin for MSN Messenger?
Hi Everybody,
I´m new on this forum, and i´m looking for some resources to develop a little plugin for MSN messenger.
I´m a VB Programmer, and already looked at plugin interface of MSGPlus, but i can´t reach my objective using these APIs.
I´ll create a plugin that captures every conversation from MSN Messenger and save it on a SQLServer database in a structured mode. But I don´t know how can i start!!!
I already searched for MSN Messenger SDK in the Microsoft Site, Google and in this forum, but i can´t find anything.
Please, anyone can give me some help, posting tips, documents, SDKs, to know how a program can communicate with MSN Messenger and capture the events.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for your help, Anubis.
But i think this won´t help me. This document refers to develop Plugins for Messenger Plus!.
I need some information to interact direcly to the MSN Messenger, like MSGPlus! do.
I already tried to capture conversations with MSGPlus! plugin APIs, but i was unsucessful. I don´t know if the APIs do not permit this or if i commited a mistake.
If we can capture all conversations with this API, let me know how please!
Thanks a lot

No the Plus! API's couldn't do that...sorry I didn't read your first post clearly. What you need is to directly hook into MSN Messenger, however I can't do this, nor do I know a guide to do it, since Plus! isn't open source I can't say I have much of a clue...It may be possible to make a program that runs a single process that uploads Plus!'s chat logs to an FTP server...this may be as close as you could get, and its no easy work to make ![;)](images/smilies/msn_wink.gif)

Ok, Anubis, no problem!
In Fact, the only software that i know who can interacty directly with MSN Messenger is MSGPlus! This is the why i posted a message here.
I think someone in this forum can help me... for now, i´ll just wait.
Thanks again for your atention.
Best regards
- Daniel

I'm sure Patchou could help you...although I wouldn't hold much hope that anyone else could, what you want to make is not your typical program. And I know for a fact VB on its own couldn't create what you want; you'll need to use C++...

A program like that will not help me. I already thinked about create a program who monitores the logs folder, process the TXT files modifications, connects to my SQLServer database and save the registers. But I want to do a program who can capture the conversation directly from MSN Messenger, because i will create a Instalation Package, and distribute this to my friends... All of them want a feature like that on MSN Messenger.
Thanks

That MSN Messenger API should help out a lot...
May I suggest that you edit your posts rather than double or in your case triple post, as stated in the forum rules...
