Customize net send.

Dont think so, as it would be the server that adds it.

Some time ago i've used a net send wrapper (not NetMessageBufferSend) and i could
send a message using any name i wanted (From value).

Of course at that time i was working with windows 2000. (Is it so different than XP?)

Now i cant find that code since i replace it with NetMessageBufferSend.

I've tried ''NetMessageBufferSend'' and ShellExecute of Net Send ... I cant even change the From value.
Is there a way at least hide the Title ? Or some kind of trick ?

I'm suprised you were able to do that due to the fromname parameter. It has been this way since NT3.5.
Here is MSDN help on that parameter:

fromname
[in] Pointer to a constant string specifying who the message is from. If this parameter is NULL, the message is sent from the local computer name.

Note the last sentance...

There's a demo on how to implement net send at Torry's here http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=617

Hi EddieShipman.

I've tried these 2 ways and i cant replicate this behaviour....
I dont know how this happened but based on that fact i'm asking this question :/
I spend the last 2 hours reading MSDN...

To use the FromName parameter with something other than your registered alias, I believe you need to add an alias first using NetMessageNameAdd.

I have had this working OK on WinXP in an application I wrote for work..

Hmm that also may have been so that messages could be recieved using that alias rather than the computer name.. It has been a while.. :-)

PierreC the wrapper from Borland site can change the from name to anything i like :) !!!!
Thanks !
Is there someway to remove the "Message from .... to  .... on x/x/xxxx" title?

Glad to help.

I don't think you can remove the "Message from .... to  .... on x/x/xxxx" title?

Sorry for not posting.

I found that Process explorer from sysinternals can send
a message to any user and you can change the caption of the message and the title !

OK, I will take alook at the source code and see if I can see how they are doing it.

Oh, I guess they stopped providing source for all their utilities...
Hmmm....

Yes i know. No source.
This example shows at least that it can be done .. :)

Thanks for your time :)
