O.P. Creating plugin, help needed
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
SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

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?

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

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

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?
