Hey can ne1 work this out?

ONLY OPEN THE FILE USING A TEXT EDITOR

Hey right i really need to know how to use these MSN API's or what ever they is. but i cant find info on them anywhere so i found this silly little program which can both send text and send a file.
So i thought *maybe* if i open the file in a txt format then id be able to work a API out... but i was badly wrong :( heres some of the stuff i got which i thought may help....

C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe dunno what thats got todo with it :\

C:\WINDOWS\System32\scrrun.dll just thought id add all DLL's

¤FMsg_OnTextReceived

advapi32.dll
mVBA6.DLL
MSVBVM60.DLL EVENT_SINK_GetIDsOfNames MethCallEngine EVENT_SINK_Invoke Zombie_GetTypeInfo EVENT_SINK_AddRef DllFunctionCall Zombie_GetTypeInfoCount EVENT_SINK_Release EVENT_SINK_QueryInterface __vbaExceptHandler ProcCallEngine

Thats all i could find what i think might have somthing todo with it :\ also there was alot of "RegOpen", "RegClose" ....etc could that have anything todo with it?

Thanx for reading :)

Can someone tell me why that just gives me a bad feeling? I'd advise everyone to just ignore whatever that thing is. I've never seen anything good come from such files... :rolleyes:

nooo the file is really ok but its abit of a pain but your ok if you dont open it as a EXE File as im sure you all know.

im sorry i had to use this file i couldnt find another one which could both send a String and a File... but really its ok and if you did open it all i had todo was restart my computer and then deleted it but i promise its 100% safe

but still if your a little unsure about "text files" then you dont have to download ive copy pasted everything i think has somthing todo wit the API im looking for
please help
thanx

I am attaching the msn protocol, read it and you can figure out how to do whatever it is you wanna do. By the way what are you trying to do with msn and api calls?

hey thanx i had ago playing with it a few days ago but looks abit above me but ill have another go.

Well there a few things really first i was thinking about a kind of fileserver where users of my web site could Email me which file they want using there Hotmail address then i could check using a Email program and then send them the file they asked for. also all the other stuff like away bots and a bot which stores all my ACSII Art and what ever else i can come up with :D

dunno exactly what u want but...

go to project/references
tick the "Messenger Type Library"
if its not there browse for the MSN executable... thats it
u can see all the objects/methods/events/properties by hitting F2 (Object browser)

i was mucking around with it and this worked... kinda

Code:

if anyone gets it to work better ... tell me... i wanna know

hey i know its not related to vb... but does neone know where u can get a linux version of msn... i can find everything for linux but msn

had given up hope .... but that msn-protocol spec gives me new hope

i had thought ms must have been guarding their protocol as there was no alternatives from the client written by ms

I'm trying the MSN Messenger objects too
but I keep getting a "DLL not found" error.
I've re-installed MSN Messenger already, what's wrong???

Look at the pic and make sure your including the proper reference to the project.

Ok....done that

Now the error changes in "Error in loading DLL"
What the f**k does that supposed to mean?

I'm running xp with windows messenger so it is hard for me to say why it is doing that, when you re-installed msn did you download the newest version and are you running messenger when you include it in your reference, thats what I did without mishap.

Add a command button named cmdSend and a textbox named
txtMessage, I also reformatted the code because when I pasted
it, the form loaded in as a module.




Dim msnTest As New MsgrObject
Dim msnApp As IMessengerApp2

Dim msnIMWindow As IMessengerIMWindow
Dim msnSvc As IMsgrService
Dim msnUsers As IMsgrUsers
Dim msnUser As IMsgrUser

'Changed this to a command button instead of a form load event
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()

On Error Resume Next
Set msnApp = CreateObject("Messenger.MessengerApp")

'Check if logged on

If msnTest.Services.PrimaryService.Status = MSS_NOT_LOGGED_ON Then

msnTest.Logon "[email protected]", "(passwdhidden)", msnSvc

Do While (msnTest.Services.PrimaryService.Status <> MSS_LOGGED_ON) Or (msnTest.UnreadEmail(msnInbox) = -1) Or (msnTest.LocalState = MSTATE_ONLINE)

DoEvents

Loop

End If

'Display info
'Dunno why but if the program has to log msn on it always
'exits the loop too early and reports the wrong info
Debug.Print msnTest.LocalFriendlyName
Debug.Print msnTest.Services.PrimaryService.FriendlyName
Debug.Print msnTest.Services.PrimaryService.ServiceName

If (msnTest.LocalState = MSTATE_AWAY) Then

Debug.Print "IM AWAY"

ElseIf (msnTest.LocalState = MSTATE_ONLINE) Then

Debug.Print "IM ONLINE"

End If

Debug.Print msnTest.UnreadEmail(MFOLDER_INBOX)
Set msnUsers = msnTest.List(MLIST_ALLOW)

For Each msnUser In msnUsers

Debug.Print msnUser.EmailAddress
Debug.Print msnUser.FriendlyName
Debug.Print msnUser.LogonName

If (msnUser.State = MSTATE_ONLINE) Or (msnUser.State = MSTATE_AWAY) Then

'Send online ppl an instant message
'dunno why but getting an error message here
'thus the on error resume next
Set msnIMWindow = msnApp.LaunchIMUI(msnUser)
'Changed this line to a textbox instead of a preset message
msnIMWindow.SendText txtMessage.Text

End If

Next

'Sends that silly "xxxxx wants to talk to you" email
msnTest.Services.PrimaryService.SendInviteMail "(hidden)@hotmail.com", 0, 0, 0

End Sub

THANKS AUTOBOT!!!!:D
you solved my "error in DLL Loading" problem
with your code:D:D

Heya folks

have another error again with MSN Messenger file object
Probably a very simple solution but I can't figure it out.

The error that I keep getting is,

Quote:

---

Object variable or With block variable not set

---

Anyone know the solution?

Sorry been drinking tonight and hit the wrong button, look at my other post and you will see why I said that. It's not my code I just changed it a tiny bit, but thanks. Ok when vb gives you that error it should have a popup with the option Debug. Hit debug and vb should highlight the bit of code causing the error. Then hit stop and copy that line of code and post it here, maybe we can figure out why it is causing an error.

this code is causing that error to come

Quote:

---

txtMessage.Text = msnUser.State

---

msnUser = IMsgrUser

Anything wrong with that?

Thanks:D

Make sure you have the textbox named txtMessage
