just thought something for polygamy, but tell me first of all, the tray bar icon works for both instances of messenger or just for 1 ?

just to see if my speculations as valid...

Out of interest, how are you getting the window handle of the main window? If you use the get_HWND() part of the API, and typecast the result so you can use an HWND struct instead of a long, that would solve the whole polygamy issue.

Umm, I believe its your plugin that adds the little up/down arrow onto the contact list (well just above it) when you use it, MSN goes full screen and the only way to close it as far as I know is via task manager. On top of this, the only way to get MSN back to how it was before (non fullscreen) is to uninstall your plugin!

The little up/down arrow, if we're thinking of the same thing, is part of the MSN Messenger program. It shows or hides the frame around the contact list and the title bar.

If you have a bug with the plugin, state what versions you are using and hopefully TazDevil can fix it.

well yes i am using get_HWND() to get the contact list window, but the messages from the tray area are sent to another hidden window as you know and i think the only way to to differenciate between two processes of msn to to compare with GetWindowThreadProcessId(), iam i right here ? and that is to control the tray bar ....

so because i am not very good at this each COM object belongs to the individual process of msn right ?

also i am trying to make a command /xwmsend to send the dll to the contact window that the command was called, but i cannot get the first parameter contact name right.

edit to andre...
i think you are using an old version, i think i fixed the fullscreen problem, well a workaround is to press ALT to show the menu and titlebar to restore or close msn messenger if the window is skinned

edit to raceprouk
nice tutorial by the way, ToastGalore was helpfull to produce the toast ... finally. to bad thou toasts only work in Intitialize and ParseCommand, this limits their functionality.

Each COM object belongs to a single process. In polygamy, each instance of Messenger will have it's own IMessenger3 interface.
And toasts only work in the thread Initialise was called in.

thanks,
indeed but not all functions in an app load in the sames thread ?, (is it different if i complie a single-threaded dll instead of a multi-threaded) ?

what about the send file, how can i get the conduct info of the window producing the command...
PLUGIN_PARAM - has the iConversationWnd IDispatch, so how do i get the userinfo ...@%^@%^ arggggg

Without knowing your code, I can't say anything about the threading for the plugin.
As for the user info, who's info are you looking for exactly?

Edit: If you like, I could help you with this plugin. Depends if you want to let others see your code of course.

I was using the version on Page 3 of this thread thats in a .rar

Strange, with a "normal" (By normal I mean MSN with Plus, StuffPlug-NG, Mess Patch and a few other plugins) I don't have the little arrowy thing but when I have this plugin it appears.

MSN Messenger 7.0.813
Messenger Plus! 3.52
StuffPlug 2.2.119
Mess Patch for MSN Messenger 7.0.813

Could you say what little arrow appears exactly, what it looks like and what it does.

Also when you say MSN Messenger 7.0.814, do you mean MSN Messenger 7.0.813?
