Yahoo SDK

[m110033]

Can anyone teach me how to use Yahoo's SDK in vb6?
Just link tohttp://developer.yahoo.com/messenger...tml/index.html.
There shows the JAVA and C++ how to use.
But I dont know how to use it in vb6.

I don't see anywhere on there that says it can be used for VB6. My guess is it's made for C++ (and JAVA).

But I met a person use it to change status with vb6.
But I don't know how he made it.
The code is follow.

Dim yahoo As New Messenger2

Private Sub Command1_Click()
NoReturn (yahoo.Me.Status.SetCustomStatus(" ",1, Null, Null))
End Sub

Sub NoReturn(a)
End Sub

He reference to "Yahoo Messenger TypeLib" .

Then anyone know how he made it?

Then maybe you should contact the person that used in VB6 and see if they can provide you with some examples.

I'm with DigiRev on this....I'm guessing it was made for VB6 (maybe there is support for VB.NET - maybe). However, using your own words

If there are examples for Java and C++, and it supported VB6, I suspect there would have been examples for that as well. It makes no sense to develop an SDK that supports multiple platforms and not provide examples for each of those platforms.

Then,anyone has any ideas for me?
I go to http://www.pscode.com , but It seems no upgrade about yahoo's vb's Form.

If you're trying to make actual plugins for the program, you'll have to use their SDK.

If you want to make your own Yahoo! client, you need to learn the protocol. It used to be simple, but that was when they were using YMSG 1 protocol, I have no idea what it's like now.

You said your friend used it to change the status, so why not ask him?

Maybe it uses ActiveX DLLs (I doubt it) which you can reference into your project by going to Project menu -> References, Browse..., locate the .DLL files (try all of them) and click OK.

If not, you would have to know how the functions are stored in the DLLs and you would declare them and use them like other API functions.

I had asked him,but he said he tried a lot of times.
But only change status can be done.
So he also didn't know how to use others.
The DLLL is steuped when the yahoo is steuped.
So it's form yahoo's DLL.
