Hello, i want to use a bot which will talk with my contacts when im away. The bot is an aplication separate from messenger, and it works like this:

when I copy a sentence to the clipboard (ctrl+c), im saying that sentence to the bot, and he gives me an answer to the clipboard too, so if I paste it (ctrl+v), the answer will be shown.

what i want to do is to copy to the clipboard every message i recieve from a contact, (that action automatically will ask the bot) and then i want to paste from clipboard which the bot has answer (the bot automatically paste its answers to the clipboard).

I would be pleased if anyone could help me. Sorry for my english.

Have a look at [UPDATED] Clipboard Functions (that WORK) .

Though, I would not recommend using copy/pasting at all for something like this (a communication between apps).

Copy/pasting is used in Windows everywhere, using it to communicate between apps will be troublesome, not reliable and may even interfear with normal copy/paste operations in Windows.

You better of using proper communication methods by sending application defined messages, using OLE, or even the extreme old DDE method, etc, which would still be 1000 times better (and way shorter to program) than using copy/pasting.

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, User, Message, Kind) {
    if (botActive[ChatWnd.Handle] == true) {
        if (Kind == 1 && User != Messenger.MyName) {
            var m = Message.toLowerCase();
            writeClipboard;
            var mbot = readClipboard();
            mbot = mbot.toLowerCase();
            while((m == mbot) || (mbot = false)){
                mbot = readClipboard();
                mbot = mbot.toLowerCase();
            }
            ChatWnd.SendMessage(readClipboard());
            contador = contador + 1;
            if(contador == 5){
                clearClipboard();
                contador = 0;
            }
        }   
    }
}

how can i improve it?

finally i fixed it with a delay function. messenger freezes during that delay, but i only want it when im away, so it works perfect for me

here is the code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, User, Message, Kind) {
    if (botActive[ChatWnd.Handle] == true) {
        if (Kind == 1 && User != Messenger.MyName) {
            var m = Message.toLowerCase();
            writeClipboard;
            pause(500);
            var mbot = readClipboard();
            mbot = mbot.toLowerCase();
            ChatWnd.SendMessage(mbot);
            clearClipboard();
        }
    }
}

function pause(milisegundos){
    var date = new Date();
    var curDate = null;
    do{
        curDate = new Date();
    } while (curDate - date < milisegundos);
}
