Script about lock messenger by xsuper on 12-13-2006 at 01:04 AM

I was wondering if it was possible to make a script that locks WLM as soon as it signs me in, it would be useful for those of us that shares computers.

Thanks in advance!

I guess it can be done, but I don't really see the point on doing it. Can't you put control+s (or something) as your Anti-boss shortcut, and click it when it signs-in?

What about not automatically signing in and not storing your password?  It will do the same thing and not require a script.

Could be useful if he wants to hide the fact that WLM is open though...

See/read the Official Scripting Documentation:

OnEvent_Signin
and
MsgPlus::LockMessenger

and you have all what is needed to make this extremely short script.

code:
function OnEvent_Signin(sEmail) {
    if (sEmail === 'mymail@mail.com') MsgPlus.LockMessenger(true);
}


;)


EDIT: fixed code... sorry Patchou :$

Cookie, why do you use the === operator as opposed to ==? What difference does it make in this case?

=== and !== are identity operators.
== and != are equality operators.

It is preferred to use identity operators as this gives you a warning with wrong type casting and it is faster because JScript doesn't need to convert the variables first to the same type. It also reduces possible errors you otherwise might not notice so quickly.

The identity operators (=== and !==) compare the content of the variables.
The equality operators (== and !=) compare the content of the variables and the type by first converting the variables to a general type.

Moral:

Always use the identity operators (=== and !==)  when you compare two variables of the same type. eg: when comparing strings or characters.

Thus always use the identity operators (=== and !==) whenever you can and only use equality operators (== and !=) if you really really need to.


for details, see:
CookieRevised's reply to Nudges, Updated.
CookieRevised's reply to How do I declare this?

eg:
if you compare two variables of the same type, like a string with a string, like in the script example in my previous post, it makes much better sense to use the identity operator (===) than the equality operator (==) because you know both variables are strings.

eg:
"5" == 5 is true, eventhough one is a string type and the other is a number.
"5" === 5 is false, since they are not of the same type.

the proper call is

code:
MsgPlus.LockMessenger(true);

or am I missing a subtility of JScript?

I think you are missing something in JScript.  MsgPlus.LockMessenger is a property so it has no brackets at all and you asign it by the likes of

code:
MsgPlus.LockMessenger = true;

Learning a few small things might help you become a good coder one day ;)

errr... well, I'm either very tired and unable to read the documentation I wrote myself, or you should open it yourself :p

LockMessenger() is a function :)

My bad, I think the one and only time I used it I got confused with it too because most things that are defined by a boolean variable are properties and are read/write.  BTW, i did have it open already, I was just too lazy to take a look.

why not remove the lock at the same time...


code:
    function OnEvent_Signin(sEmail) {
        if (sEmail === 'mymail@mail.com') {
         MsgPlus.LockMessenger(true);
         MsgPlus.LockMessenger(false);
       }
    }
that would prompt you the password window...

The only reason you would want it to go into lock is for it to not be able to be seen, otherwise you are better off just not having autosign-in and your password not being saved.
