Problem importing a type library

[Mr.Sade]

S - tefano:
Yes it is msmsgr.exe + '\3'
I am attaching a picture so you can see the path.
When I try to import the exe, "Messenger Type Library" appears on Delphi list, but as you can see, I need the one with the "\3" which is "Messenger API Type Library" at the end.
Cool, I will try to extract the library as tlb with resource hacker, good idea man :)

sakura:
I have the update 2 for Delphi6, but I also own Delphi 7 Enterprise, and the same problem occurs.

Thank you guys

Hope you can solve the problem by going that resource way, unfortunately there are no furhter ideas on my side....
Maybe its also just a little too late for thinking on that level.

Goodnight,

Cool
It worked!!!
I extracted the third typelib file from the msmsgs.exe and then I save it as MessengerAPI.tlb then I imported the tlb and it worked.
The only problem now is that I can not create a component from it, so I think I have to edit this pas file manually to create a class and then create the component.

The problem I think was that delphi looks for the first .tbl file inside the exe, and ignores the other ones.

I am attaching the pas file, it is to control msn messenger 6
Thank You S - tefano

Hello,

I didn't read that code quite carefully, but it does not seem to be a visual component.
So, is it really necessary to build one of it?
Before you try to do that, maybe you could try just to get the .pas file without the extension into the uses-list of the unit that has to use this control.
Then you can call functions like create, createnative, or access properties and methods of the class IMessenger3.

Good luck,

It is not necessary to build one.
I am just gonna use the pas file.
