Anyone want to help make a 'PureMessenger'?

[lexvictory]

well, i've started to do some coding of PureMessenger
but so far it only has support for MSN, and to add other protocols will need some modification....

currently it can:
- log in (using MSNP8 - same as windows messenger)
- show contact list - with all statuses
- update contact list when user changes status/display name
- change logged on user's status
- change logged on user's display name
- pressing enter/return in some stringgadgets pushes a button
- respond to msn's challenges


currently it can NOT:
- show whether a user is blocked
- start a convo with anyone
- nothing else


what i need:
- someone to help with the gui - especially the contact list
- possibly someone to help/do other protocols
- someone to test this using dialup - its only tested on my 512/128 dsl damn telstra wholesale
- feedback

you can download it from the sourceforge page here

after line 42 in 'returnkeys stuff.pb' add

Code: Select all

Else
retval = CallFunctionFast(GetWindowLong_(hwnd, #GWL_USERDATA), hwnd, message, wparam, lparam)

soz, im used to using hooks to do the returnkeys stuff.....

well, im releasing it again because some people downloaded it, but didnt comment on it....

i fixed the bug with the subclassing procedure, it can now show if a contact is blocked, items on the file menu work, better support for dialup (i found a utility to help with testing), it retrieves display name better - not thinking that the crlf is part of the name...
also, if you create a file in the source's folder with filename as 'account.txt', and put your msn username on the first line and password on the second line, the program will pick them up and automaticaly fill them into the login box.

download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=173263 (choose the 29.11.06 release)
the main source code file is msn client - threaded.pb

i would like even 1 person to give feedback on this...
and if u r interested in helping with this project, contact me, by email or here in this topic...

I can't compile it using PB4.1, MakeLong() wasn't found...

[CadeX]

Confirmed.

4.0 cannot find that function either.

[lexvictory]

oops, thats part of droopy's lib... http://purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=24709

if u dont want to use that, heres the code behind it:

Code: Select all

Procedure MakeLong(HiWord,LoWord) 
  param & $FFFF + LoWord 
  param + HiWord << 16 
  ProcedureReturn param 
EndProcedure 

Procedure GetLoWord(Long) ;included just in case
  ProcedureReturn Long & $FFFF 
EndProcedure 

Procedure GetHiWord(Long) ;included just in case
  ProcedureReturn Long >> 16 & $0000FFFF
EndProcedure

Sorry, but it doesn't run properly, with debugger enabled!

Upsss...

Has anyone noticed debugger doesn't work with ThreadSafe enabled !?

[lexvictory]
