Create a "Tab" in MSN Messenger

Hi,

I would like to create a tab in MSN Messenger like an addin...that uses the
Messenger interface...
My idea is to export data from a Web Service on wich the users can access
information via "MyTab" on their MSN Messengers (once they have downloaded
the plugin...)

Is it possible to extend MSN messenger and write your own tabs?
If so where do I start and can I use C#/.NET or do I have to use C++/MFC ?

Regards
/Oscar

I don't know if there is a sanctioned way of doing this, but there *is*
a hackish way. This should give you an idea:

Hi all, I have a subform placed on a tab control, and I'm having a terrible time with proper tab order. I'm trying to allow the user to tab from the last control on my subform to a control on the same page on the tab control on the parent form. The control (a button) on the subform executes the following code On Key Down: Private Sub AddContactButton_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

Hi, I have just built a small application with a form that has one Text Box and one Check Box and a couple of Command Buttons.

Likewise on the Check Box but obviously if a Command Button has the focus, it will initiate the Click event I have set the Forms CancelButton to the...

To comp.databases.ms-access -- I am trying to re-number the "tab index" for a large number of controls on a form. When I try to do this one control at a time, Access automatically re-numbers the tab index for some of the other controls, thereby messing up what I'm trying to do. I know about the "View--Tab Order" option, but the trouble with this is that it doesn't show entire field names ... and my field names are rather long....
