Note: this script has been made and is now available from http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=63303.

here is vb code that will turn the num led on and off

code:

---

Const VK_num = 144
Const Vk_scroll = 145
Const VK_caps = 20
Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    keybd_event VK_num, 0, 0, 0
    keybd_event VK_num, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
End Sub

This is what i have so far, It will only trun off the led but it wont turn it on
If some one can debug it and release it please be my guest

This sounds like it will be one of my favourite scripts. I hope you can get it finished. Also, if you could set it so i could instead use my scroll lock light, it would be much better i think. thanks, (good luck)

This will be a feature of StuffPlug 3. I know that is not a good answer to the question, but you might be interested in it.

Also keep in mind that the method described above will influence the response of the keyboard. It doesn't really flash the lights, but instead it turns num-lock on & off, and that's causing the LED's to flash.

However it can be quite usefull. It's one of my favorite "small but very usefull" SP features

>.< thanks you, and do you know how much longer (roughly) it will take for sp3 to be out?

lets hope it doesn't take too long

but still, i'm trying to make ivan300's script work..

EDIT:
GOT IT !!
i'll post it in a couple of minutes.. and i'll start expanding the script with the ability to configure it

GREAT SCRIPT!  ALREADY USING IT! 

Umm... my scroll light flashed, but can you explain to me exactly when, and how the light flashes? with all the stuff that got changed, it would be nice to be told how it works again... Thanks

FOR WHAT I CAN SEE,  IT STARTS FLASHING WHEN A NEW CONVERSATION IS CREATED,   FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SOMEONE SEND YOU A MESSAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME,   THEN  WHEN YOU START typing it stops blinking,   and then when you close it it turns off...
i think its like that..



PS: sorry for the caps

ok, isthere any way to make it blink when ever the concact sends a messege? just like the task bar blinking when it comes? that way i don't have to be worriued i missing anything if i can't see task bar, and the chat window is already open

thats exactly what i was going to ask...      is there annother "event" other than OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(),  like,   new message or something like that?

thanks a million (haven't tried it yet but good feelings)
trested, this is great!! Good job guys, please post this in the script db

hey, one other question..  how do i verify that a message comes from a certain email?

i mean,  i can verify if it comes from a certain nickname by doing:  if (Origin == nickname),  but what if i want to verify the email...

i'm thinking of doing this to make the led blink only for certain people...

Hello, Thanks for this script it works great and i love it.

Just one thing, is it possible to make a key (ie. caps lock) stop the light from flashing. I ask this because i have a Logitech keyboard and when i am in a full-screen game Scroll Lock On - Scroll Lock Off, keeps on flashing on the bottom of the screen and its very annoying and sometimes i cant minimize to stop it.

If this can be done it will be greatly appreciated.

Nice script! But it would be handy if there is an way  to don't let the led flicker when WLM is locked. But I really think it is a nice script!

i love it
gratz Silentdragon and ivan300

this afternoon (CET) i'm going to make a configure interface so that you can configure which LED's have to flash and which don't.
And when it's ready and working without (much) bugs and everybody is happy about it, we can upload it to the MP!L scripts site

Great script guys and a fine entrance to the forum - welcome on board. I look forward to the final product.

Great script guys. But instead of caps lock can't i use some other key? Because in some games caps lock is used and i would prefer to use home, end or pause to stop the lights flashing.

Also when you code the configuration interface can you add a script on/off? Because i only want it to flash when i'm playing or something, not all the time.

i'm loving this script but could you make it not to flash when the window is open?

i'll try to add al these options to the config window.

ScrollLock on/off
NumLock on/off
CapsLock on/off

Flash when Messenger is locked on/off

Stop flashing when chatwindow is focused
or stop flashing when you enter a text..

@Dark_Angel_Pt: i can set a checkbox in the config window, but if you want to turn this script off, i think it's easier to just uncheck the checkbox of the script itself

For now, i'll start with this..
Anything else to add?

ah, in the plus! menu.. ok, that's a good idea

the version that i have now, is activated when you receive a message.. and if the Origin is someone else, but this isn't really necessary..
maybe in future versions i can make it possible to select users for who it has to be activated, but for now, i'm going to make it like i said above

Hey silentdragon,  i dont seem to be able to make the email verificaion work 

the code is accepted and everything,  but when i send a message from the email i want  nothing happens...

this is the code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(Wnd, Origin,Message,MessageKind){
    var contacts = new Enumerator(Wnd.Contacts);
    for (; !contacts.atEnd(); contacts.moveNext()){
        var contact = contacts.item();
        switch(contact){
            case 'remotocasa@hotmail.com' :
            MsgPlus.AddTimer('check',200);
            break;
        }
    }
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
    var Contact = ChatWnd.Contacts;
    var e = new Enumerator(Contact);
    if (e < 2){
        if (Contact.Email == 'remotocasa@hotmail.com') {
              MsgPlus.AddTimer('check',200);       
        }
    }
}

hey nice script.  can i make a request?  Is it possible to make the light go back to the "on" setting once the conversation is restarted?  And i use a logitech keyboard so i don't have a scroll lock key, so i'm using the num lock.  I'd be handy to use the F Mode led instead but i don't know what the code to that is.  Can anyone gimme a hand?

hey you know how when you press all 4 arrow buttons it starts to make a beeping sound? is it possible for it to make that beeping sound when a message is received because i do not always have my speakers on

hey,  one thing i've noticed...      it work fine when someone sends you a message,   but when you're already talking to that person,  if he or she sends you another message it starts blinking again...
it blinks everytime you get a message and it only stops when you start typing or press capslock...

any ideas how to blink only for the first new message of every conversation?

Declare Function Beep Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _

So in Jscript:

code:

Interop.Call('kernel32', 'Beep', frequency , duration);

ok guys, got the first version with a small configuration window..
give me your comments and i'll see what i can change if needed

Download here (Right click -> save as)

Functions for this version:
- Configuration lets the user choose which LEDs have to flash
- Included the beep, but dunno if it works.. couldn't test it here on my laptop (but if the code in the previous post work, then this should work )
- Added the possibility to disable the flashing leds when your messenger is locked.. (haven't tested that either, but it should work)
- The ability to switch of the script in the contactlist Plus! Menu as requested

I get an error when i'm installing the script and it doesn't finish the instalation

---------------------------
Messenger Plus! Live
---------------------------
An error occurred while importing the script files.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

i'll try to fix it.. for now, just rename it to .zip

ok, i put a better version on my webspace (same link as posted above), you can now install it.
it still gives an error here, but eventhough it gives an error, the files are in the script directory
i'll try to find a solution to this

thanks for this great script

Can i suggest one more thing? Can you add an option to choose the sound? So instead of a beep i can choose other sound.

A great addition will be to make the flashing occurs on specific state, which in general should be BUSY, like that it will notify by flashing when there are some full-screen apps such as games and dvd players....

• OnEvent_Uninitialize(bMessengerExit) is empty... remove it
  or better: make a "EndProcedure()" function which includes the disabling of the timers and uninitializing the used objects (eg fso; but I rather suggest to make the fso object locally, not globally!). People can disable a script while a chat window is still open, an unexpected error might occur, etc... (EDIT: see next reply for example of what I mean)
  
• OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown misses the cancelling of the timer check2 (also see first point).
  
• Function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) can be made much shorter. No need for stating those Interop.Calls twice. The only thing different between the two sTimerids is the enabling/disabling of the timers, so only that should be in the if then else structure.
  
• Variable ConfigFolder doesn't need to be globally declared.
  
• Spelling error: //If the confif file doesnt exist create a default one

v1.2 is great.  but is anyone having the same problem as me?  When i exit wlm and log back in later all the options in the control panel of the script will be off and when i try to turn them back on the "ok" button won't work. 

Maybe its something with my wlm...

ok, i'll look into it
and i'll add the possibility to flash by status

@CookieRevised
That will only affect when someone opens a conversation window. There isn't a option in plus to choose the sound for messages you recieve while the conversation window is already open.
I know you can change it in wlm options but that won't be heard during some games.

@DarkRaider
Can't you make the script to remember if it was on/off when i shutdown my pc? Because i usually just turn it on when i'm playing but now the script always starts on.

PS: I urge to fix the bugs I mentionned ASAP (especially the first two ones in my list). Currently the script is constantly running, enabling and disabling timers ALL THE TIME.... check your debug window...

This is also a small warning for all who use this script as it currently is; the script might slow down others, etc.

fixed :
- Timers
- Save config script
added:
- credits window

@Dark_Angel_Pt
I'll put that as an extra option in the configuration window..

Just installed this, but is there something else I'm supposed to do?
If I just import it into MsgPlus it imports fine, but doesn't actually do anything.

when you choose the conv window and the led is flashed it remain on... while it should turn off...

you can open the configuration window from the Plus! menu on your contactlist

Ahh, lol.
Got it... cool.  Would love for it to flash them in a nice pattern tho - like one by one animation.
This I will definitely use when monitor is off.

hey,  one thing i've noticed..  maybe this happens only to me...
when i receive a new message, it starts blinking, ok,    but when i start writing nothing happens,  the oly way to stop the blinking is t clos the convo...

Weird.. it all works here.. the only thing that doesn't work good enough yet is the fact that if you focus the chatwindow on the wrong moment, the LED stays on and you'll have to turn it of manually if it annoys you

aint there a way to make sure the led allways stops at the OFF position ?

you should save the state of the led before start blinking and reset it when you open the conv window it should not be difficult to do...

ok, the last problem i had was something i did...

but now one thing i noticed...   when i'm already talking to a person,  every time he send a message,  the led changes or from off to on,  or from on to off...   
maybe that can be fixed...

true.... but i think that implementing my idea should solve this issue

I'll try to make the script remember the status so that if you click in a window, the LED(s) go out..

for now, i'm working on the "active when status is busy" part
I'll post the new version when that's fixed and when the LEDs go out

Can this script be turned into a plsc file?
It would then be much easier to load into Msg Plus Live.

code:

if(Interop.Call('user32', 'GetKeyState', VK_scroll))
   //turn scroll off

Thanks, this helped alot and it's fixed now

The last uploaded one is the one I'm using - Still slightly buggy.
Sometimes all the lights flash together, sometimes one at a time (I'm guessing this is meant to be like this, but can't work out which is meant to be when).

As someone above, they stay on, and so you type funny (im using a laptop).

Btw, is there any way to convert a PLSC file into editable format?

code:

---

if(Interop.Call('user32', 'GetKeyState', VK_scroll))

---

Download here (Right click -> save as)

fixed:
- turn off leds after window is focused (not fully fixed)

added:
- option to flash only when you have a certain status
- option to activate script on startup.. or not

I hope that most things are fixed now..
If you still find bugs, report them and i'll try to fix them

great! BUT... i can't press OK button in the config tab... i press it (it's selectable) but it doesn't close, and of course it doesn't save the configuration i made. then, i don't see any status in the status menu i'm using italian version, is it the cause?

oh, make sure that you delete the old config.xml file in your scripts directory !
cause when it already exists, the script tries to read it but in the new version there are other values... so it gives errors ..
so just delete the numbered folder inside the KeyFlashers script folder   and it should work

EDIT : The easy way
Remove the script in your preferences window before you install the newer version

ok.. it's all right now! Tnx a lot!!!!

Great job!

Hmm, you may be working on it already or i have just not configured the script but, can you add that when the button you have chosen (num/caps/scroll lock) is pressed when it is blinking, it will turn off?

hmm, I don't think that is possible, cause the script makes the computer think you are already pressing that button... and pressing it yourself won't help much..

So.. it won't be turned off untill you click or type something in the conversation window you received a message in..
that's why advise people to just use the scroll lock LED since that doesn't affect your typing or gaming

I have also noticed in a conversation window that when trying to use the caps lock, it keeps turning it back off when the key is pressed and i am using the scroll lock light to use this script.

oh yeah, forgot to add something there.. fixed that now.. it will only reset the LED you have set in the config screen

DarkRaider... i love you man

Plus is made such that it automatically replaces all the files in the \scripts\<script name> folder so you dont need to do so.

---

Quick suggestion, in returning the menu XML, check whether the script is running and have the menu show "Enable Script" or "Disable Script" as appropriate.  A small thing, but it improves the overall look of the script.

Ok, that's done..
I wanted to do that first but i didn't know how.. but i searched and found !
I also disabled the combobox in the configurationmenu when the checkbox above is unchecked..

Download = same link as before

Seems to be working a lot better now.

Just one thing, is anyone else using this on a laptop?  I'm pretty sure it is stopping my touchpad from working.... I'm guessing there's nothing in the code which could be causing this?

hmm, weird.. i created and tested the script on my laptop... didn't have any problems here.. sry
only the 3 buttons of the LEDs are called in the script.. so I don't see any reason why your touchpad stops working

Yep, its definitely caused by the script - I have found that activating scroll lock and disabling it again sorts the problem - so maybe it can be added to the script somehow (not sure as it only causes me a problem and not sure it'd help).

Hey, Great Script!!

BUt I have a suggestion ... can you implement a function that turn off the leds after a time cause i dont shut down and do not close the messenger while I sleep and while i'm away... and someone always talk to you when you not there ..
so to do not kill the Keyboard leds so easily can you implement the funcion to set a timer when stop blinking the leds. Or the possible to set a time range where the script is disabled automaticcly. Like from 00:00 to 06.00.

And a other suggestion like a other guy has requested with logitech keyboards that do not have the scroll lock key. But theres a Function Key that can be used.

That's all

A really cool thing would be alternating LEDs (like the key flasher plugin for trillian)

You seem to be the only one with this problem..
Maybe it's better that you personalize your script a bit.. Just add the lines of code, where the script flashes the scroll lock, once in your initialize function.. I hope that that works

I've released the script..
