- Instant Messaging - how can I grab the messages
- Posted by Younger Dryas on February 17th, 2004
It looks like Instant Messaging apparently also can be used for
process to process rather than person to person (See Dr Dobbs, March
04, p48) So, I want to make a piece of software that will grab (or
get a copy of) any, say, MSN Instant Messages right as they arrive at
my PC and then do some kind of processing of the data in the messages.
Any thoughts on how to get to these messages in this sort of real
time fashion?

MSN Messenger supports a proxy, so you could write a program which acted as
a proxy and passed the packets straight through. Messenger supports HTTP,
SOCKS 4 and SOCKS 5; I guess an HTTP proxy would be simplest.

Messenger also supports automation. Another, possibly easier, way to
do it would be this route. After a quick #import of msmsgs.exe I see
support for the following events.
inline HRESULT DMsgrObjectEvents::OnTextReceived ( ...
inline HRESULT DMsgrObjectEvents::OnSPMessageReceived ( ...
inline HRESULT DMsgrObjectEvents::OnUserJoin ( ...
inline HRESULT DMsgrObjectEvents::OnUserLeave ( ...
among others...

You could also hook Winsock DLL: ws2_32.dll .
