I tell you what is my aim: i want to write some games, that could be played useing Messenger Plus (like the ones already in the messenger) I want to use notifys to send actions taken... Also my games would posibly have more than 2 participants...

RE: Send extra message
You could use active accesability to set the text on the input box and then click the send button

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

Unfortunately not possible with a pure MsgPlus! plugin because the Messenger Plus! API doesn't allow you to read the response from the participant(s). This is done because of security reasons.
Finish the problem

I don't get it... "active accesability"? I want to aviod that user would have to press send button...

Hmm... how do you mean "API doesn't allow you to read the response from the participant" I would like to send a notify on button press, and that notify can be read by the MsgPlus plug-in, can't it?

I guess, not a coder myself sorry. But you said you wanted to create games, i would imagine that when you create a game your plugin reacts to text the participant in a conversation said... MsgPlus! API doesn't allow you to see what the participant said.

you can read the history of the conversation to see what has been said using Active Accesability APIs, such as AccessibleObjectFromWindow, AccessibleObjectFromEvent and AccessibleObjectFromPoint

That post in the other thread may have been better off as a new thread.
As for examples of using Active Accessibility, look up the functions on MSDN, and I think there's an example of VB usage somewhere on this forum.
