Hey if I made one how would I be able to tell if the person comes online with sending /whois every 5 secs.

i think you would use the timer function..but I'm not sure

Sending /whois every 5 seconds might not be a good idea (too short delay).

Anyway, you've answered your own question:
"How would I be able to tell if the person comes online?"
"By sending /whois every 5 seconds."

Unless you're not sure how to do that. Use a timer with an interval of 60000 and use this code:

[code]Private Sub SomeTimer_Timer()
YourCoolSendFunction "/whois " & Victim
End Sub[/code]

Or similar.

If you want to do it without a timer, you have to either have him as a mutual friend (so you can see when he comes online) or sit in the channel he starts in (brood war usa-1, for example). Since there isn't enough people on bw anymore, almost everybody starts in -1.

/who brood war usa-22

Ok yea I answered it. I meant to say was that the right thing to do. Thanks guys.

Also I was wondering how could I code in VB resize code for the bot to make everything line up when I maximized the screen. Thanks in advanced.

you can use code like this

(this is ripped from the lodgebot binary you have the code to)

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Dim CWIDTH As Long
Dim CHeight As Long
If frmmain.WindowState = 0 Or frmmain.WindowState = 2 Then
CWIDTH = frmmain.Width - formwidth
CHeight = frmmain.Height - formheight
'chattexts
On Error GoTo later
RichTextBox1.Width = RichTextBox1.Width + CWIDTH
On Error GoTo later
RichTextBox1.Height = RichTextBox1.Height + CHeight
On Error GoTo later
'whisper stuff
RichTextBox3.Width = RichTextBox3.Width + CWIDTH
On Error GoTo later
.....
'what todo if the program gets negative numbers...
later:
End Sub

only problem with that code is if it did get negative numbers cause the windows went further then a box could shrink well you had a problem..... The window would get all messed up. but it works for basic stuff.

Nova, just use If Then statements, then it won't keep the window looking all crappy, because by the time it reaches the negative number (or a number below the height/width/top) the window will be too small to see the contents, and when its resized to a visible state, it will be alligned fine.

[code]
ex:

If Me.Width > 3380 Then
rtbText.Width = Me.Width - 3375
Else

[/code]

Then you use a timer.

Something else you could do, instead of /whois is /f l... I mean, isn't that kinda what it's for??!! You can eliminate 25 whole /whois's with a single friends list; cuts down on bandwidth, display time, and hey... it could even be less confusing than wanting to program in <= 25 /whois.

Another reason you'd do /f l, is because the user(s) don't need to be mutual to be displayed (so, you could create an account "IWatchYou#X", log it onto Chat X times (whereas x is your number of friends divided by 25), add your friends to the lists, and then do /f l every 10 or so seconds (I'd do 10 or more because of the size of a response Battle.net generates). Also, if it were me, I wouldn't watch for Battle.net to automatically send you a message when a user joins/leaves Battle.net or a game; those can easily be spoofed by the user by simply sending their own whisper to you (eg, "/w myfriend Your friend YourFriend has entered a StarCraft Ghost game I GOT THE GAME AND YOU DONT HAHAHA.").
