MSN messenger - IM Window

Dug around and cant seem to find what i need.. or if its possible.

Is there a way to "replace" the im window

Heres what I have so far..(pic below) its the main window with the contacts in it.. (its an IDE Add-in)

so what I would like is a way to make another window for the IM's..
right now all i can get is the MSN IM window to open.

well, i was going to suggest having a look at woka's Badger Messenger, it piggybacks on the MSN network but everything's controlled by the prog - however there is a hell of a lot of code might take you ages to get something useful.

how are you currently doing what you're doing?

Actually what Ive done took no time ... its very easy
I can see other objects for IM windows, receiving text.. etc.. just cant find how to use them!!! LOL

Add refs to:

Messenger API Type Library
Meesenger Type Library

then

VB Code:

Public WithEvents MSN As MessengerAPI.Messenger
 
Private Sub UserDocument_Initialize()  'Or form load ;)
    Set MSN = New MessengerAPI.Messenger
End Sub
 
Private Sub AddContacts()
    On Error Resume Next
    SB1.Panels(1).Text = MSN.MyFriendlyName
    SB1.Panels(2).Text = GetStatus(MSN.MyStatus)
    Dim MG As MessengerAPI.IMessengerGroup
    Dim MC As MessengerAPI.IMessengerContact
    For Each MG In MSN.MyGroups
         'Add Group in treeview
         For Each MC In MG.Contacts
               'Add COntact to that group
         Next
    NExt
    'then catch ones without groups...
    For Each MC In MSN.MyContacts
         'Add to treeview
    Next
End sub

Like that... i clipped out a lot of the code.. since I am testing for online / offline too.. plus status..

but that part was easy.

if u want I can zip up what I have and post it..

whats wrong with the vbcode tags?

update :rolleyes:

ahhh
