I've just converted Phoenix to Unicode (v2 will support all them fancy Eastern characters now), but the toasts are broken. While eventually I will be doing my own, I'm using Plus's DisplayToastW in the meantime.

Thing is, I can pass any WCHAR* to it I like, and no matter whether it's a BSTR (BSTR = OLECHAR* = WCHAR*), WCHAR*, or L"Text", it refuses to display more than one character of the string.

DisplayToastW has always been working fine (for Hopper)...there might be something wrong with your string manipulation

It happenes even when I pass a string like L"Test". If I pass a string like that to MessageBoxW, it works fine, but it won't for DisplayToastW.

That sounds strange

Well I forgot to say that I've modified DisplayToastW a little... I changed

code:

---

    UINT nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("MessengerPlus_DisplayToast");

---

to

code:

---

    UINT nMsg = RegisterWindowMessageW(L"MessengerPlus_DisplayToast");

---

I don't really think it should correct your problem, but why not give it a try?

I should have known it'd be as simple as that

Note to Patchou: Ws and Ls help with Unicode

Update: Nope, didn't work.
Doesn't help I haven't got Internet at the moment (using the Hall's computer suite is no substitute).Internet back for now

I think I now hold the record for looking in the wrong place the whole time. I've found what's wrong with my use of DisplayToastW.
I separated out the code in MPPluginHeader.h among my own header files for more logical organisation of the code. Initially, I wasn't worrying about Unicode, but then switched to it.

Turns out the lParam of 'MessengerPlus_DisplayToast' is FALSE for ANSI, TRUE for Unicode.

lol . As for RegisterWindowMessageW(), it's not needed as the string parameter that is sent to this function is always the same and not unicode: "MessengerPlus_DisplayToast" .
