0 lexecutil Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Unfortunately theres no easy way todo this. The only (easy?) way todo it I know is using some API functions like showwindow, setwindowtext etc to bring up the options window in msn and set the text there.

0 John Veteran Posted August 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2004 Look up the Messenger API on MSDN and you should be able to figure out how to do this (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lexecutil Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Nah the MSN API doesn't let you change your friendly name anymore, infact its not even supported anymore... :( Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 John Veteran Posted August 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2004 :o How are you supposed to change it then? :( (rhetorical question, don't answer that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 anthonycara Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 i've tried, but it only works half the time. i did in vb6 coz it needs timers (does vbscript support SLEEP?). you use the OptionsPages function to bring up the options and then use SendKeys "New Name" & vbCr to set the name. It doesnt work too well, however. :( -ac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 anthonycara Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 i believe MessengerDiscovery has an API which can easily do this. Click Here to Visit MessengerDiscovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
