hide chat window by Baggins on 10-08-2006 at 08:00 PM

i want to modify a script so that i can hide a chat window and it will still be there but the person won't be able to see it and then make it visible again

Couldn't you use Messenger Lock for this?

i figured that out but what do i pass it as the first argument? the ChatWnd object? and are SW_HIDE and SW_SHOW really constants in JScript? the values of these are 0 and 5 so why not just pass that? ^o)

code:
var handle = Interop.Call("user32.dll", "FindWindowA", "", Nick + " - Conversation");

is there something the matter with this because it keeps returning 0 and that is why it is not working.

EDIT: Nick is the other username

You just double posted, use the edit button.

The ChatWnd object has a Handle property you can use as this ChatWnd.Handle, this will give the handle you can hide.

If you want to find the window use

code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'FindWindowW', 'imwindowclass', '');

That will find the first window.

What is the point of what you are doing? Are you entering a command into a chat window?

WHy not just use the LockMessenger feature?

I am using the file server script and when the user logs in i want to hid the window and when the user logs out i want to show it again this way i don't have to look at the window while the person is typing.

RE: hide chat window by matty on 10-09-2006 at 01:08 AM

Ok no offence thats stupid but use the OnEvent_ContactSignout and OnEvent_ContactSignIn

when the contact signs in create a window and hide it, when they sign out show it.

Can't anyone just post a script instead of codes! Cause everyone else which don't know how to write a script (myself included) don't understand the codes!!! :^)

RE: hide chat window by Spunky on 10-21-2006 at 07:27 PM

If people don't know how to use the codes posted, they should probably look through the scripting documentation rather than just seeing what they can do with advanced API calls
