so there is still not notifier, did i get this right? too said but thanks to all developers for the ones the brough up! is someone working on one?

Hey all..

I'm giving this project a look over in VB6, and i've made a sort of 'prototype', heh. It works so far, but the notifying bit is a bit more.. Uhh.. 'Difficult'. So far, i've got it giving me a message box when someone opens or closes a window, with ANY msn open.

I need some code that can help me get MSN to actually open one of its own popups, just like StuffPlug does - does anyone have any code, or any idea on how to do it? If so i can finally get this thing finished and hand it out to some more than eager people

I was thinking along the lines of the SendMessage API, Protocol Commands (what is actually sent/received by MSN), or the MSN API (which is probably impossible to use for this bit anyway, it doesnt support TOO much..)

Oh PS, also code for that "window closed" notifier - you know, like in stuffplug - it shows a message just like someone actually DID leave the conversation!

Cheers!

So basicly u have a open/close notifier that works but u just don't know how to actually notify it? (LOL)

U can use the plus popups, that should be easier.
Maybe search the forum will help, I remeber some1 asked about the MSNM popup...

EDIT: found this

Yep pretty much. Hehe..

That link with the toast info is for the old Messenger Plus which supported plugins - when the new one doesnt

I could just make it so that it shows a custom popup that i make myself - but the link wont be there to open the chat - which is a real pain....

I've used discovery and its crap, they use extra popups instead of just telling you in the convo that people closed it, I like the natural and non intrusive way that the stuff-plugin did it in 7.5

This can also be done in Messenger Discovery Live. You just have to configure the settings correctly.

Edit: To answer two posts with one.

Well you could interface it with a script in Messenger Plus Live! perhaps? They have a toast function. In order to get an event to be triggered in the script, -dt- has an interesting workaround here:

Hmm that does look promising, and I saw something in the MsgPlus script CHM file I got, maybe I can get it to work, somehow.. The issue is just creating the window and all that, but im SURE i can get it working, maybe

ecion - this kid got hit the nail on the head. and for those who are saying this should be locked.. mayeb tou should stop caring and leave it alone, let us work on it talk about it, we dont need to hear your shit anymore. for the guys above making this script, really looking forward to seeing your work. peace.

are you reading the same CHM file as the rest of us?

Well whatever one that you can download from the Other section in the script database on here - but it seems to be coming along though.

Just out of pure curiosity, would you mind sharing what event you're using to detect when someone opens or closes the window?
