In that case, you should subscribe to news://newsgroups.borland.com
and ask in borland.public.cppbuilder.winapi *on that server*, and not
(like you did now) on the Usenet copy of that group. Borland doesn't
accept feeds from the unauthorised Usenet copies.

You should also not ask in a group like comp.lang.c++, since this is
not an standard C++ question.

Just ignore that guy. There are a lot of assholes here on Usenet. I wasn't aware
there was an API for messenger. If there isn't, there may be some way to grab
what it sends in and out of the sockets somehow and monitor how it behaves. Then
you could write your own functions possibly. Just an idea. Good luck. =)

What guy?

Since I'm slowly wondering if you meant me, I'll clarify:

I am a moderator on the Borland groups. I *know* that he will get
competent help on using the Messenger API in the newsgroup I proposed,
and that he will only be seen there by the regulars if he connects to
the Borland server, and not to the wild Usenet copies. 

I'm not sure how being helpful, and pointing people to *better* places
to ask, where he will get a better answer, is being an asshole. 

But I'll stop here (well, everywhere). This is off-topic in all of
these groups. If you want to continue, my e-mail address is valid.

Hiya,

Have a look at Kip's other posting and what happens when someone is
helpful towards him and you'll get an answer to your point.

I see, thanks.
