Re: [Amsn-devel] Contactlist help

[<kak...@ka...>]

I'm not an expert plugin developer, but iirc, there IS already a "contactlistLoaded" event... but note that the 
states of the users at login is not known, they all appear as if they just logged in after we login... the way 
we receive it in the protocol is a bit different so we know it's their "initial state" but it still appears as 
if they connected randomly, so we have no way to know if we received all those "initial logins" or if their 
still are some.. you could add a timer after the OnConnect, let's say 5 seconds, then on every 
ContactStateChanged you receive, reset the time (after cancel ... after 5000 ...), this way you're sure to 
execute your code 5 seconds after the last user loggs in initially...
this might be a solution, I see no other one...
