VB 4.2.2

I was wondering if anybody knows how to unite online/offline status with gender icon.

Explanation.

Right now we have three images indicating online/offline status and a hidden one.

And let us say we have a female online icon for gender . So when she is offline it changes to something like this .

When a user is hidden it displays a third icon. I.e.

Basically that is the question. How to make gender mod work like online/offline/hidden?

[ndut]

is this mod can be use in vbull 5.05?

[ozzy47]

No, you can not use vB4 mods in vB5 as I stated earlier.

[ndut]

i c,...
may be, you can tell me how to do mod like this in vb 5.05, ozzy?
thank you in advance

[ozzy47]

I have not dove into vB5 yet, I don't like it as it is now, not enough hooks like vB4 had.
