MSN Chat Control

The MSN Chat Control

The MSN Chat control is an ActiveX Control designed for use in Web Browsers on Microsoft Windows.

The MSN Chat website originally noted the minimum requirements of MSN Chat as being a computer running Windows 95 or later, and; Internet Explorer 3.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. Internet Explorer 3.0 was the first version of Internet Explorer capable of hosting ActiveX controls, although Netscape Navigator 2.0 was the first version capable of running NPAPI plugins, which the MSN Chat Control could be hosted in via a Microsoft NPAPI plugin that could host ActiveX controls.

ChatCtls

The ChatCtls.cab was the original version of MSN Chat, and appears to have very little modification from similar components developed for Microsoft Chat, although you can see similarities between this, and the later chat controls. The cabinet contained not 1, but 4 individual components that were able to be used together with some client side scripting required.
