Introduction
YCC IM View is a little
different from my other programs as it is quick and
dirty with few frills. A large portion of the
code is borrowed from
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/ByPassAutomation.asp.
The window that shows the IM
conversation in a regular Messenger IM window is
actually an instance of Internet Explorer. If
you look at it with Spy++ you will see it is called
Internet_Explorer_Server or more generically a
IHTMLDocument2 windows object. If there is a
webpage being displayed then there is HTML that
drives the page. This program dumps that data
and lets you see what is powering the webpage.
Instructions
-
Run Yahoo! Messenger
-
Open an IM window. It
doesn't matter if anything is typed.
-
Enter the name of the user
in step 2 into the textbox and click Dump
-
(Optional) You can
get a whole lot more information if you add a
breakpoint and watch the IHTMLDocument2 object.
Requirements
- Microsoft .NET Framework
1.1 or above
- Visual Studio 2003.
I tried for a very long time in 2005 but I kept
getting stack overflow errors.
