Hey,

Can you add buttons to a chatwindow, and make them clickable?
I have made a system, but now my commands are /o_add [email] and /o_del [email], and i want to made buttons to add/delete. Like this:



I hope this can be done in Messenger Plus! Live.

It is possible to do, but it can be tricky, the best way is to make a Plus! window and make it a child of the chatwindow. Place the window on the place where you want the buttons to be and the window should look like it's a part of the chatwindow, while it's not

Take a look at the script TimeZone, he did it, only without the buttons.

I have looked into the source, but i dont understand what i do need to make the buttons. There is a lot of source you know..

Well,...

1. First of all you need to make a window with a WindowTmpl (ChildTmpl don't work and DialogTmpl looks ugly) which has your two buttons. Then, you can eventually remove the borders. (look in the documentation)
   
2. Now, you need to create your window but don't show it yet.
   

   code:

   ---

   var PlusWnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "MyWnd", 2); //The 2 prevents it from being visible when it's created

   ---

3. Here's the big trick: you have to set the chat window as the parent of the window:
   

   code:

   ---

   var Result = Interop.Call("User32.dll", "SetParent", PlusWnd.Handle, ChatWnd.Handle); //Make sure ChatWnd is valid. Result can be used to check if the function succeeded.

   ---

4. Set the width and height of the window
   

   code:

   ---

   var Result = Interop.Call("User32.dll", "SetWindowPos", PlusWnd.Handle, 0, 0, 0, 100, 50, 18); //100 is the width, 50 is the height

   ---

5. Position your window in the chat window. We'll place it 250 pixels from the bottom and 120 pixels from the right. Therefore, we first need the size of the chat window.
   

   code:

   ---

   var RECT = Interop.Allocate(16);
   var Result = Interop.Call("User32", "GetWindowRect", ChatWnd.Handle * 1, RECT);
   var CurWidth = RECT.ReadDWORD(8) - RECT.ReadDWORD(0);
   var CurHeight = RECT.ReadDWORD(12) - RECT.ReadDWORD(4);
   
   var x = CurWidth - 120;
   var y = CurHeight - 250;
   var Result = Interop.Call("User32.dll", "SetWindowPos", PlusWnd.Handle, 0, x, y, 0, 0, 17);

   ---

6. Now, make it visible!
   

   code:

   ---

   PlusWnd.Visible = true

Step 2 should be done when a ChatWindow is created. You can find the details of these Events in the Scripting Documentation

Haha, bedankt, dit ziet er een stuk simpeler uit dan dat van TimeZone . Ik werk zelf niet veel hiermee, dus dan wordt ik graag een handje geholpen Ik zal is kijken hoever ik hiermee kom! Bedankt!
(Moet ik stap 2 uitvoeren als iemand zich aanmeld ofzo? )

Heh, thanks, this looks a lot more simple than the one from TimeZone . I don't work a lot with this myself, so I like to get some help I'll see how far I get with this! Thanks!
(Do I have to execute step 2 when someone signs in or what? )

code:

---

var ChatWnds = new Array();
var PlusWnds = new Array();

---

code:

---

ChatWnds[ChatWnd.Handle] = ChatWnd;
PlusWnds[ChatWnd.Handle] = PlusWnd;

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd) {
   //Here the code
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
   if(Messenger.MyStatus > 0) { //Checks if the user is signed in
     for(var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.CurrentChats); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
       var ChatWnd = e.item();
       //Here the code
     }
   }
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndDestroyed(ChatWnd) {
  var PlusWnd = PlusWnds[ChatWnd.Handle];
  if(PlusWnd != undefined) {
    PlusWnd.Close(0);
  }
  delete ChatWnds[ChatWnd.Handle];
  delete PlusWnds[ChatWnd.Handle];
}

Hehe i will see where i will place them. Normally my chatwindow is always the same size, and DsiplayPicture is always visible Thnx

EDIT
I have made some code of what you guys said, but i get an error:

I didn't read the whole code, but you'll want to just pass ChatWnd.Handle to the GetWindowRect function.

Actually, that's not the best way, but the easiest way
The best way to do it would be to subclass the window, and on repaint messages add your own data to be drawn, so that WLM will treat what you added as it's own control (like MsgPlus! does it: Do a small test and make the window small. You will see that the MsgPlus! icons will hide into the arrow, because it thinks that the controls is its controls. If SetParent was used, then the icons would be there just floating (unless you used some more advanced methods))
