No need to mod the source - here's how you do it (in VB.NET):
(assuming X is an XplMsg object)

Select Case x.XPL_Msg(0).Section.ToLower()
Case "xpl-cmnd"
' Respond to command messages here
Case "xpl-trig"
' Respond to trigger messages here
Case "xpl-stat"
' Respond to status messages here
End Select

HTH, and apologies for the late reply!
