Close a Chat Window by questsin on 01-10-2007 at 01:49 AM


Hi,

I've just started using messenger plus and its very useful. I even ported my Chatbot application (questsin@hotmail.com). 

After reading MPLScripting documentation I can't seem to grasp how to close a current chat window.

I checked the members and properties of "ChatWnd" and ChatWnds to no avail.

Anyone know howto close an open ChatWnd?

thanks

send a message to the window you want of "/close"

in the code it will be:

code:
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/close");
you can change Chatwnd to the window variable you are wanting ;)

code:
ChatWnd.Close(0);

code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', ChatWnd.Handle, 0x0010/*WM_CLOSE*/, 0, 0);

There are lots of ways.

ChatWnd has no close method...

code:
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/close");
That'll only work if the typing area is active, think of doing this when you've blocked that contact...
code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', ChatWnd.Handle, 0x0010/*WM_CLOSE*/, 0, 0);
That's the best thing you can do. :)

There are a lot of other API's you can use.
DestroyWindow - Not the best or even recommended solution.
PostMessageW with WM_CLOSE message

It works fine in IE6 which is what I was using at work at the time.
