Receive private messages through Excelsior API?

[PierreDole]

Just like to ask if it is possible to receive ingame private messages through the uoex api. That would be pretty cool.

Type [PM it will bring up the message system, find who u want to message and send them a message. Chat commands are here:

I want to have the PMs in my chat window.

How did you get a chat window going like that?

With C# WPF. The Wrapper I use is based on EasyUO's uo.dll, so I just read the Journal on a timer tick and sort the messages in their categories. Unfurtunately there is a bug in the dll, it don't return the color of an journal entry but an empty string.
Since the global messeages start with an '[', etc, its easy to work around.
