How about a Group (or Groups, as dt said a contact can be a member of more than one group) property for the Contact interface?

If it has to be Groups because there are multiple values then returning an array would be useful too.

The reason I'm asking this is I want to make a /blockgrp command but as I can't get any information about the contact's groups I don't think there's a way to do it. Apart from manually creating groups in arrays/txt files/xml files, but that's quite inconvenient...

The Groups would be handled in the Messenger API by plus!, but Plus! has had problems accessing the groups through the API. I've tried to do it inside JScript and it crashed messenger, but through an external program it worked fine. So you could do it with a DLL

please explain how.
note: i know very little about dll programming. jscript i'm good in though.

If this script gets created, I will be extreamly happy . At night I leave my msn up (pretty much 24/7 ) and it is such a hassle to block everyone except 1 person -_-. I have reasons for leaving a single person unblocked, but I wont go into that.

I miss this feature from Plus!3. I hope either a script gets made for this, or the feature is added to the next Plus! release .

You can also just create a script that blocks everyone except that person, and naturally unblock them later.

Thats possible ! Sorry to hijack this thread, but how may I ask can I do this ? This will save me quite a bit of time lol.

You'll need to create a dll, add the messenger api, and then loop through the contacts groups and block them. The hardest part will actually be making/importing the dll (and for most people other than me thats not a challenge)

What are you talkig about?

You can loop trough the contactlist with the script objects and set the blocked status. Just remember to save the people blocked somewhere so you don't unblock the non-automaticly blocked people

Too tired to make it now... sorry

Oh oops. I meant loop through the groups. *edits*

And how do I loop through the groups? Had the same idea, but I can't find where the groups are..
