nice script, I've been looking for an easier way to show the debug window for a while now, and apart from "Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = 1", this is the best way I found yet.

Just an advice, you might want to let the script check whether
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts\ScriptEnableDebug is 1, to make sure debugging is enabled, or else the debug window won't show up anyway. Also, by doing this you can warn the users that the window isn't shown because debugging is disabled.

You do know there already is a Show Debugger menu option in the plus! menu right?

Yeah but not in a convosation.

nice (Y)
I often have my contactlist minimized and this makes the debugger more accesible.

Although I'd even more appreciate a shortcut in the preferences and script editor windows

I don't script, but good job none the less .

Why not have your script toggle the enable/disable debug window as well.

So if the user has it disabled, then this script will enable it. And upon exiting the debug window, the debug would be disabled again .

Just a thought (don't even know if its possible).

RE: [release] Show debugger tool [UPDATED] by Plan-1130 on 11-12-2006 at 08:10 PM

it's possible, with a timer, but that uses quite some system resources, and it would be quite annoying going through disabling the script and then closing the window. just typing 1 command is easier if you accidentally close the window...

That's exactly what this script does.

I don't quite get that...

But if you exit/close the debugging window than it stays closed already.

If you mean, closing the debugging window automatically when you move your cursor outside the window to another window on your computer (aka: the debugging window will loose focus), then that will be highly annoying to script developpers.

In fact, de purpose of the debugging window is to monitor stuff. This means that in most cases you even don't have the window in focus and visible, just active, and you switch to it to check some stuff. Automatically closing it upon loosing focus will therefore actually make the window useless.

I think he means actually disabling debugging -- like in the preferences under Scripts where it says "Enable debugging options".

Why not a 'YES/NO message box' that's purpose to enable the debugging option instead of the information message ?

Impossible. Messenger Plus! does not constantly read the registry settings for updates, almost no program does. You can manually change something in the registry all you want. It will no be read untill the next restart or when you actually open/close the preferences window (provided the setting isn't overwritten again with the value the program had in memory).

RE: [release] Show debugger tool [UPDATED] by Ezra on 11-13-2006 at 09:36 PM

Do I smell a new API request?

Force a reload of registry, file and resources.

Would come in handy for this kind of scripts.

For people who want to do this:

Change line 18 from

quote:
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = true;

To:

quote:
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = !Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible;

That should do the trick

That didnt do anything o.0

RE: [release] Show debugger tool [UPDATED] by Spunky on 11-16-2006 at 06:00 PM

It does work... In fact I've edited your script slightly for my own purposes. I've managed to trim it to this:

code:
function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId, nLocation, ChatWnd){
if(sMenuId=="debugger"){
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = !Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible;
}
}

I moved the menu code to the ScriptInfo file. I took out the nLocation = 2 check as I want it in chat windows too. For most people that will be using the script, checking the registry to see if debugging is enabled will not be needed.
