MSN contacts in DesktopX
Wednesday, April 4, 2007 by thomassen | Discussion: DesktopX
I had a look at some of the Sidebar gadgets and noticed there was a few that displayed the MSN messenger contacts.
Looking at the source I found that they all created an OBJECT element with classid clsid:B69003B3-C55E-4B48-836C-BC5946FC3B28
something like:
Now, this got me thinking. Can this be referenced in a DesktopX object? Went though the list of ActiveX controls, but couldn't find anything.
Anyone else got an idea of how we can reference the same object in DesktopX? The object provides various event callbacks as well. Making it very interesting to be able to implement this into a gadget.
