To shaneh:

Thaks for your source sharing

But I realy want to know
why do you know the format of MSNMusicString?

Could you tell me! :w00t:

[shaneh]

I have my ways ;)

[Doggie]

packet sniffing :)

[shaneh]

well theres no packets involved in a SendMessage, so no. But you get the idea.

I think use HOOK?

[shaneh]

Well a hook of somesort could work I suppose. The 'difficult' part is knowing what it is that you need to hook and where etc. Its easy to say 'just hook it' when you already know what it is you are looking for.

If you must know, I studied the code in a dissassembler then created my own "MsnMsgrUIManager" window and just studied the results. I did work what was needed just from studying the code, but having my own window added another layer of testing and verification.

you know, you could have just packet sniffed, would have saved so much time

That doesn't reveal you need to send WM_COPYDATA though ;)

all he wanted to know could have come from packet sniffing ;)

[shaneh]

Whos to say what is sent over the network is the same as what is sent between applications in IPC calls though? Theres nothing saying that communication between applications and communications between the client and the servers would be the same. Finding the format of MSNMusicString is meaningless unless you know what to do with it, as I said. ie, do you use it in a sendmessage call, a COM call, a named pipe call, to what window/pipe/socket/com server/interface, whats the 'magic' value etc, etc.

You get none of this through packet sniffing. I wouldn't have 'saved so much time by packet sniffing' at all. As I said, its easy to say 'just do x', when you already know what youre looking for. Besides, it only took me 20mins to go through the code and figure it out.

You can find WM_COPYDATA by watching the messages via Spy++

EDIT: oops I misunderstood...

can't you see the first post? it has the code.. take a look at it

[noroom]

no no, he want's to retrieve the information, not to set it.

I guess you'll have to check for winamp, wmp and/or itunes =/

[Dody]

oh alright, then forgive me for misunderstanding

[Dody]

that is truely nice saivert, good job

[lepidosteus]

Did anyone get the 'Empty' parameter working ?
I can use music, games and office, but empty doesn't seems to do anything.
