i'll look onto the website soon :)

YOu probably do have them on your keyboard...

Num Lock, Caps Lock & Scroll Lock lights, that's what this plugin worked for.

Actually, not this one. There's another plugin that notifies you using your Num/Scroll/Caps Lock lights but this one uses an external LED that you have to create yourself using a COM cable.

Actually, YES, this one TOO! ;) You can use the Num Lock, Caps Lock & Scroll Lock lights as well as the COM Port LED, even Text-To-Speech for the name who's writing you is possible.

Well, I am wondering about the request... so... I'll redesign some parts of the program for your needs. Maybe I'll need your help.

First thing I have to know:
What's the window caption when talking to somebody?
If you could provide me with that info in english and/or german (windows caption of course...not answering hehe) it would be cool.

Wow, thanks alot man. But the thing is, that I've "bought" (for one year each time) the domain in a bundled up package including 7Gigs webspace/150Gigs traffic per month/10db's/...
So I am unable to change the DNS server name server adresses. :(

Don't base your plugin/addon on constantly polling for windows based upon their caption. Not only is this far too limited if you wanna add something in the future, captions also can change, mimiced, etc. And not to forget constant polling the whole system for an openend window with a certain cpation is process intensive.

Instead, write a true addon for msn messenger (or messenger Plus!) and use the proper events of the Messenger object which are triggered when a conversation is openend.

I know polling windows captions is not the smooth way...but hey, that program is about 2.5 years old. And it worked.
Checked the process - it's at 0% most of the time. I don't check the caption every millisecond btw. THAT would be really odd.

If you could provide me with the needed info how to actually capture that window open event, I'll do a special version as a real plugin maybe. ;)

I cant wait to see the new version.
I have made mine into a plugin a while ago it still works the same way but there is not need to run a extra program. Recently i added text2speech however i want it only to be active while my status is away. I havent figured out how to do this.

How does yout text2speech work exactly?

As you may know I have to let my webhost set up some server settings so my CMS runs well.
Due to needed security and other changes to the servers my webhost is not able to change settings for any of his customers, so I'll have to wait another ~5 days.
Hopefully this sentence was understandable ;)
