MSN Messenger

Hi,
Has anybody had any experience with using the MSN Messenger APIs in Visual C++, or know where I could find a tutorial/source code to help me - I can only get it working in Visual Basic so far.

:DThanks:D,

Sorry I think I should have been a little more specific - its the *creation* of the "Messenger" COM object that i'm having problems with, after that I'm assuming it will be much the same as in Visual Basic

Like what you'll find as answers to most posts like yours, look at msdn. If its new and microsoft, it will be there.

I checked on MSDN *before* starting this thread - and that's exactly my problem - they don't provide any documentation for the Messenger SDK, only a download... or maybe I just can't find the documentation? I've looked all over! I can't find anything. Please help!!!! :( :(

Is this the thing your talking about?

:D :D

Thanks... that looks very promising, browsing through the TOC it looks like there could be some stuff there of use to me. *BUT* one small problem - click on any of the articles and it gets an error... none of its actually there!! :( :( am I doing something wrong?

What browser are you using?
I wouldn't bother attempting to even look at the microsoft web site with anything but the absloute lastest version of ie.

I'm using IE5.5... and everywhere else I go in the MSDN site seems to work... I'll have to try some other stuff...

This is the message I get in the frame where the page I selected should have appeared:

worked for me.

I am using ie6 under xp pro.

hmmm... maybe theres a messenger bot out there that comes with the source code? (i've found heaps of ones for *cough cough* Visual Basic but none for vc++ :-(

If you have source in VB, you should be able to translate that to C/C++ (if you know VB).most of the function calls are very similar.you can also use MSDN to look up specific commands to check you're work. When using 'COM' allways remember 'CoCreateInstance' or w/e.

Just a few "pointers" (=COM);) SPH :rolleyes: :eek: :confused: :rolleyes:
