O.P. Change Displaypicture
Hi...
How can I change the DisplayPicture? I didn't find an API for something like this.
And how often can I change it per Minute / Hour?

Greeeeeez & Thank you very much!

RE: Change Displaypicture
You don't need a plugin.:)

Go To "tools" top of MSN messenger Window

Then to "change Display Picture"

then on your left you will get a list of pictures that you can use
OR
if you don't like them use"browse"on your right

and browse pictures that you may have saved on your computer
click on the picture you want and it will change in your"display picture"..

and you can change them as often as you like..and as quick as you wish..there is no time limit at all!

RE: Change Displaypicture
To do so with a Messenger Plus! Plugin you need to do the following

Note this is in Visual Basic

code:
Private objMessengerAPI As Object
Private Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

Option Explicit

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, _
                           ByVal sUserEmail As String, _
                           ByVal oMessenger As Object) _
                           As Boolean
    Initialize = True
    Set objMessengerAPI = oMessenger

    objMessengerAPI.MyProperty(M_ContactProperty_DP) = "<filename>"
End Function

He is making a plugin and wants to know how to change the picture within the code;)

You will need the Messenger API for this to work. Set is as a reference in your project, and try matty's code(Y)

Unless you are using the events like MyStatusChange you don't need to set a reference to the Messenger API.

If you are on a desktop computer and your keyboard has a number pad. There is an enter key on the right hand side.
Other option is click Start > Run > type osk and click OK.

O.P. RE: Change Displaypicture
Wow... thank you for this cool hint!
But... not my Keyboard is demaged, it's more Windows...
Sometimes i can use it, and sometimes not...

Thank you again! ;)

EDIT: If I'd like to change my Pic in the Initialize Function the Source works... but how can I change it with a button on a form!? How can I call this Initialize function!?
Excuse this double post! I'm really sorry to do this, but no one saw my "EDIT" in the Post before...

I've got a big (but I think it's small) Problem!
Now... if I have this Code in the Initialize Function, it runs. But how can I do it with a button on a Form? How can I call the Initialize function...

I'm sure it's really simple, and I'm only to stupid. I tried to make it running the last 2 Days! :S

Thank you and sorry again for the double post!

Greeeeez

RE: Change Displaypicture
Create a function in itself.

code:
Public Function ChangeDisplayPicture(ByVal sPath As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo mError
    objMessengerAPI.MyProperty(M_ContactProperty_DP) = sPath
    ChangeDisplayPicture = True
    Exit Function
mError:
    ChangeDisplayPicture = False
End Function


Then you can call it like ChangeDisplayPicture "<path>"

Just a note, but your initialize function should then be:
code:
Private objMessengerAPI As Object
Private Const M_ContactProperty_DP As Long = 2

Option Explicit

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, _
                           ByVal sUserEmail As String, _
                           ByVal oMessenger As Object) _
                           As Boolean
    Initialize = True
    Set objMessengerAPI = oMessenger
End Function
