Shoutbox

Can somebody post a snippet to show me how to be notified when the user changes his status? As in, I want my plugin to react whenever I change my status to busy/whatever.
I want a snippet cause I don't know enough about COM to figure it out by myself. Any help would be appreciated.

Dempsey made/making a little proggy that popups a little dialog box on status change, if that wut your wanting u could probaly ask him how he made it.

You don't get. I want to be notified when my own status changes, as in, I want to know how to detect when I set my status to away or busy or whatever, and react to it in my code. Dempsey's plugin reacts when somebody else's status changes, though that's not what I want.

i thought you'd usually know when you changed your status i doubt it'd be hard for someone to code as a plugin... but who would actually use it?

Hehehe don't you understand the possibilities? My plugin is a bot which is activated whenever you set your status to away. That's the use. Anyone? Any suggestions? Maybe Patchou? You're god, by the way.

That's the reason I need a snippet, I have all the bot functions complete (it's got a neat little menu and commands which are activated when people send you messages), I just need to know how to know when the user's status is changed.

is this in vb? If so just use the onmystatuschange event

code:

---

Private Sub MSN_Onmystatuschange()

---

But make sure you have "Set MSN = New Messenger"

Or you could change MSN on both of them

i was saying that it displays the box when I change my status.

I also recall that i saw a plugin which reads activities from the Event Log? The Event Log from Plus! also writes an event every time the current user itself changed his/her status, so you could maybe capture those to trigger your software's actions.
