I am trying to do something with MSN Messenger. I want to be able to type possibly in the IM chat window something like "/online" or "/away" and when I type one of those in it would either show me as online or away. Is this possible in VB6 and does anyone know how or a website to show me how?-thanks
Go to Project ---> References, then add messenger type 1.0 controls to your project. You should be able to make a messenger manipulator with that. In the object browser you can see what methods/properties every object has and what they do.
I tried to make something like that too a while back, I don't exactly know how it works but just mess around with it and you'll find out. I tried to make a program that could flood an MSN conversation but for some reason MSN froze up every time I sent a message.

If you type 'dim msn as' and then press space you see a combo box with all the objects you can choose from. I believe the one you're looking for is named IMessenger or Messenger. The object browser is an icon in your toolbar, there you can read what all the objects do.
im not sure if you're doing this for fun or because you just want to have it for msn. if you download messenger plus!, you have those options. just a thought
