Workíng in Background (1 Viewer)

[Tomato]

Hi there!

Im quite in the beginning of developing plugins for mediaportal (but not in the begeinning of coding in c#... ) and I wondered how to work in background, how to react on events even if not visible?

to make it short:
I'm planning on coding a bit of icq -stuff, ~ calm down, at the VERY beginning, just a notifier for the beginning ~ so I got to react on events/messages.

The developers plugin guide is nice but doesn't help me in that topic.

Help anyone? If this had been posted before - didnt find it - a link would be helpfull, too.

thx

Ok. Didn't expect that my own events work in every menu. So the question is answered.

BTW: ICQ works great!

I wrote a (ugly code) using the OscarLib (GNU) that can connect to ICQ, displays messages in a simple Messagebox and automaticly answeres to the sender.

Sadly I got no time this week but it looks like that ICQ-goal could be achieved quite soon.

In addition a Screenshot. Not very spectacular though. The Code ist just to quick and dirty to post and you surely don't want to enter your icq-password to an unknown dll.... (That "icq-user" is my test UIN saved in MediaPortal.)

BTW: dont try to contact me by that uin. All messages will be dropped...

Thinking of all that possibilities... Away-Message telling what movie is just playing. great
