Hi, I'm building a script and on there's a point where you have a PlusWnd and when you click on a button it writes something on the ChatWnd. The problem is that I can't do it.

code:

---

function OnWndCharSelectEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId)
{
    switch(ControlId)
    {
        case "BtnClose":
            PlusWnd.Close(0);
            break;
           
        case "BtnInsert":
        var currenttext = ChatWindow.EditText;
        var SelectedChar = PlusWnd.Combo_GetCurSel("cbcChar");
        ChatWnd.EditText_ReplaceSel(SelectedChar);
        break;
    }
}[code]

I get "ChatWnd not defined" how can I define it? Can't find it.

To get the handle of Active ChatWnd we can use FindWindowW

code:

---

ChatWnd = Interop.Call('User32',"FindWindowW",'IMWindowClass',0);

You don't have the ChatWnd declared. Can you tell us in which chat window the script should send the message?

For example, if the PlusWnd was created from a menu, you could create a global array and add an element with the PlusWnd's handle as key and the ChatWnd as handle, and look for that one when the event occurs.

Gonna try it Felu;

Mattike, it's in the active chat window

Well, the thing is that the chat window can't be on the foreground when you click your control in the PlusWnd.

It doesn't work Felu, thanks for you help



Mattike, well, not all's possible in scripts, good thing is I can do it other way. Thanks

I suggest to not do what Felu suggested, at first that is. As this will more than likely lead to errors and possible wrong windows (eg: take in account that there can be more than 1 chat window open, that the first found window is not the top-most chat window, that chat windows can even belong to other Messenger sessions (polygamy), etc etc))

Do as Mattike suggested and add a logical way to retrieve in what chat window you want to write something (by the use of a global variable for example like he suggested).

If this isn't possible at all, then you could do a manual search for chat windows. But use the chatwnds enumeration object and not the findwindow api!!!. And in each enumeration you check the Z-order of the window handle with a windows API, the lowest one (aka the top-most), or was it the biggest one.. dunno anymore , is the one you need.

PS: And do not forget to check if you actually can edit/write something to the chat window before you actually write or manipulate the cursor!

I'm using other way, I'm going to replace the text you write instead of having to press a button to write the text.

By this way you get the handle of the ChatWnd(ChatWnd.Hnadle) and not the chatwnd .
