Rather than using the "MSN Chat Control Library" (which I've never heard of), I would suggest using Winsock. Since I don't know anything about this chat control library, I'll make a few assumtions. Chances are, if you use Winsock you'll have a lot more power and freedom compared to if you use the msn thing. You'll be able to create your own chat network and make it however you want, rather than just using some library MS made. If you decide to use Winsock, there's lots of info about it (probably way more info and tutorials than this stupid MSN thing), and lots of experts on it here at the forum (me, for one).
