i think that's not a msgina.dll file
may a standalone app?

It's a customized msgina.dll file, but I am trying to take the time on pc off and put it on the standard msgina.dll

I know it is, but it's still a replacement for msgina...
But I want to extract the online time resource to put into msgina

I don't believe editing MSGINA is going to get you what you need. All of these 3rd party authenticators replace the GINA file with a custom of thier own.

You won't be able to get the same functionality with MSGINA because the code required to do that just isn't present in the file. It's not a simple hack of the MSGINA to get what you're looking for, it would be a complete recoding of the entire DLL.

The GINA file being used to get that logoff dialog is a proprietary DLL written specifically to do what it does.

Look at it this way, think of MSGINA as Notepad, while the one you're looking to mimic is Word. You're basically asking about how to link an Excel spreadsheet into a text file. You can't because a text file was never designed to handle embedded objects. The MSGINA was never designed to handle the things you're looking for, hence other vendors have stepped in with GINA files of thier own.

Or does anyone know of a custom msgina file that has this built in, as he one from rohos, the resource is in russian and to much for all I need it for.

@cuddlez
did you have some knowledge about programming? maybe visual programming like vb or delphi? or maybe something more like c++?
you can make your own logoff dialog with it

[cuddlez]

no, I am not bad at resource editing though :-)
