for a while now me and a friend have been working on a add-on for msn messenger called Messenger Fusion.

Now Boasting a 60+ feature list we have two problems

1. We need more features
2. We need some way of working the commands system..


currently for the commands system to work, you need to type the text into the input box, and then press the parse menu item button that we have created.

Thing is, that is a crappy way of doing it, but is the only way we can do it, as we cannot read the text after the send button is clicked, because we are only alerted after the text is sent.

So i am requesting a way of making it work or alternatives.

is there a certain key that we could press? or would you like a button added to the window?  etc?

or does anyone know of any code that would help us.

Should We just leave it as it is?, I've enclosed a little movie demostrating...

bit of a lag, but that will be fixed in the release :)

Why not use something like tab to parse and to keep with the mirc idea that plus already has. I kinda doubt people use the tab key to move around the convo screen, I couldn't see the use of it :P

but some people might do, hence it is not a good solution though.

(and I'm certain that more people use it then you think; Those who use there keyboard AND mouse together (like you supposed to do) and thus making navigation a hell of a lot quicker)

EDIT: hmmmm... I never use the tab key in the msn messenger textbox though, but because of this post I just used it and behold I discovered a major bug in msn messenger 6.2 and handrwiting :P

why not add a tab next to the handwriting etc...
or add a button "messenger fusion" next to the packs etc. buttons.
or next to the colour & block buttons.

I think 60+ features is good to begin with: more than Phoenix 2 will have anyway.
As for the whole parsing issue: I assume you're already using Active Accessibility? If so, catch the Send button events, and in them, get the text from the input area. Or at least see if you can?

i can get the text from the input area, the problem was catching the event because the text was removed from the box before i could parse it via subclassing...



if you have info on how to catch the send button event, please would you drop me a line and send me a pm?

thanks :)
