After doing this NewStatus always becomes 0.  =(

Same problem here, NewStatus always becomes 0. =(

Does anyone know why?

BTW. The Constants are declared:
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_OFFLINE            = 0xFFFF;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_ONLINE             = 0x0000;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_AWAY               = 0x0001;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_DND                = 0x0002;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_NA                 = 0x0004;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_OCCUPIED           = 0x0010;
const unsigned short ICQ_STATUS_FREEFORCHAT        = 0x0020;
