I've seen somewhere else that people have previously thought that MSN 6.2 didn't have any API available. Until they managed to manually extract the latest DLL's from the msnmsgs.exe of MSN Messenger 6.2, allowing them to use all the functions of the new version.

Anyone heard/seen how you'd do this? I think it mentioned a ResHacker or something like it.

That's not Windows Messenger.

Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger are two different programs...

* They both support instant messaging, voice calls, and files transfers, but Windows Messenger additionally supports video calls, application sharing, shared whiteboard, and Remote Assistance.

Okay, I have MSN, but it supports whiteboard, remote assistance, ...

Anyway, I'm installing now. I remember times i had problems with uninstalling it...

So may somebody tell me what is better? MSN Messenger or Windows Messenge? Msn look better

No it does not without Windows Messenger! MSN Messenger needs Windows Messenger to be installed in order to use those functions from Windows Messenger... (see point 1 in my post in that thread)

Also many plugins need the API from Windows Messenger to function...

Everybody will say something different. It is up to your personal taste for the looks, and up to the functions that you use and up to the type of connection that you use... (see point 1 in my post in that thread)

Cool, thanks for helping! Unfortunately i still don't know how to send an instant message to a user by using the Messenger Api Type Lib or a different easy way. Does somebody know, how?

Another thing I'd like to know is: I wanted to add a Menu/Control to the Chat-Window. Therefore I'd need a notification everytime a chat-window opens. How to?

Sorry for my millions of questions, I assure it's just in the first few days till I got into this theme .

Have a nice day!


Got it...
