What im trying to do is make a program like MSN plus, but with a LOT more features. Im using VB 6. What i need help with, is integrating it into msn, like msn plus. I have no idea how to do that :(

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Carl

I have no idea where to begin with this, but what you would definitely need to do is do a google search and see if someone has written any OPEN SOURCE plug-ins to MSN Plus. That would definitely be the best way to start. Then, see how they integrated it with that application. (I'm guessing this can all be done, even though I've never seen it.)

Ok, im going to try that...

Im guessing they did it with a whole bunch of hooks, could that be possible? Because msn plus is always running in the background, so it should be sending out commands and stuff...

Thanks,

Have you ever programmed for AOL before? I would think it would be the same exact way.
