So my scenario is: I want my application to be able to read 'Now Playing' information from other applications that send to the MSN 'Now Playing' status.
From what I understand, these applications check for a specific handle MsnMsgrUIManager, and if it exists, they send the relevant song data to the application using that handle.
From searching Google, I can't find very much on MSN related api queries at all. The only things I could find were solutions to sending MSN the 'Now Playing' information that is sent from your own application - which isn't what I want.
Could anyone point me in the right direction with this? I guess all I need to know is what dll to reference, but again.. really difficult to find anything on Google about it.
Intercept the
WM_COPYDATA msgthat is sent by other application and translate it yourself. A similar example that might help you is hereIt is in c++ but it is easy to work around that solution. Hope that helps
