I am looking for a way to capture the messages in MSN Messenger 6.1. I have tried using the API calls for MSN Messenger but it seems to make my program shutdown at times and not always work. I need another way that i can use in VB 6.0 or call from my program to do this. The messages are saved in text files which specs will be given if your bid is accepted.
NOTE: I have already used 3 people in this project and each one has not fully worked or they stopped responding. I need someone that will communicate throughout the project and can get this done immediately.
Because of the previous problems, I would like to see an example program first. I also need to know the following:
1. What method will you be using to capture the messages?
2. What language will you use? No .net please because the .net framework is required and it is too large to download.
3. Time to completion.
DO NOT BID if you have not already tried this and know you can do it. I do need an example first. Also, don't think of using the GetText api call - the new version of MSN does not support this.
And do not use the saved history from MSN because that can be turned off through MSN.
