How to send a whisper?

Postby CWB714 » Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:02 pm


I have been able to write some programming stuff. I can access the syslistview list of users and get the list of users from that.

I've done okay with it, but still somewhat new with api programming. Decent with the spy.

When in paltalk, you can doubleclick the name, or right click the name, in the listview, and then pick whisper.

But I don't know how to make VB (express) do that.

Any tips or help? using JK's api spy, but couldn't quite get there.

Tips, code snippets, api commands, I'll take anything I can get so I can learn to do this.

Thanks bunches!

To open the whisper window u need to send WM_COMMAND 33152 to the room.
But you don't need the whisper window, instead you can send room text in the form:
/w <user name>: <whisper text>
note that you must have one space after the "/w" followed by the user name a colon and a space.

Just fyi... As far as I can tell, paltalk has disabled the command line way of sending whispers.
If you use the syntax /w user name: whisper text it will show in the room to everyone and will not be sent. However, I noticed that if you send several of these commands you sill get the "your whisper was not sent, wait a few seconds and etc.."
So, it is still recognized as a whisper command but doesn't work.

I should note that I'm testing on the latest 9.5 build.

Can anyone else confirm this?

You whispered yourself? Pal 9.5 seems not to send self whispers.
They were always showing in the room for who send them

I've checked with 2 names in private room and it seems to work as before.

Thanks Chike
A wayward (trim) in my project caused it not to be send properly.
