Hello everybody,

I'm trying to write my own plugin in VB6.
I've been experimenting with text-to-speech.
i have been looking very long for a good text-to-speech notifier.
ex: when someone comes online it would say "person" status is online.

now i'v been examining the plugin sdk but i cant find the function that is called when persons change their status.

can someone help me with this?

Thank you

The Plus! plugin API doesnt inform you of tstaus change, but the Messenger API does, which you can use in a plugin.
Use oMessenger sent in Initalise

thanks for that info but now i have another problem.
probabely something very stupid but i cant find it.
i have compiled the dll, pasted it in the plugins dir from msgplus, registered it with the command supplied in the readme.doc in the plugin sdk and i have created a registry value.

where did i go wrong?

here is a screenshot.

my projectname is nsSTM
the classmodule name is nsSTMClass

A description of the problem would be useful...

heh sorry. i was doing multiple things at the same time.
so my problem is that msgplus doesn't display the plugin in its plugin window @ preferences

Are you exporting the functions correctly? Take a look at the sample included in the plugin SDK, more info here.

hi, i don't know what i did wrong but i found a .reg file with the samples and i used it on my plugin and it works now.
tnx for our reply's

The class you need to put in the regkey is the one that contains the definitions of the API functions.

yes i know, but i think i did something wrong, but now it works.
And here i am, yet with another question.
Here is a screenshot of the problem.

when i click on "configure", i get that error.

anyone?

edit: I just want to add that it is a text-to-speech plugin and it's working perfectly but i had to implement a 10 secons delay or else it would read all the contacts that came online (at startup).
isn't there a variable wich i can use to see when the contact list is fully loaded an initial statusses are set?
