Need help with ChatWnd::SendMessage by Jacen on 05-01-2007 at 04:23 PM

Okay, I admit to being new with MSGPLus Live scripts and Jscript itself.

I'm trying to get my script to send a message in the current chat session. I'm looking at the ChatWnd::SendMessage page in the help guide thing but every code piece I try doesn't work, returning errors in the debug window. Can someone give me an example on how to properly do this? Thanks.

What code are you using? We cannot help without that.

RE: Need help with ChatWnd::SendMessage by Jacen on 05-01-2007 at 04:29 PM

code:
function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId){
*snip*
    if(sMenuId=="mnuItem7"){
*snip*
    ChatWnd.SendMessage("Test");
    }
}

Whats "*snip*"? Remove it! Also make sure ChatWnd is defined.

You must specify what is the ChatWnd like that :

code:
the_wnd=null;

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
  the_wnd = ChatWnd;
}

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId){
    if(sMenuId=="mnuItem7"){
the_wnd.SendMessage("Test");
    }
}

Yes and like Felu said, what's "*snips*" ?

He's trying to use ChatWnd when it's undefined from what I can see.

*snips* is where I removed code from the posting that was unrelated to my request.

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
  the_wnd = ChatWnd;
}
Since you defined the_wnd here, does this mean my script can't create a conversation? (It must have recieved one message from my contact?)

You will have to add all parameters for OnEvent_MenuClicked, not just sMenuId. There is one called OriginWnd, which is the ChatWnd object.
Code:
code:
function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId, Location, OriginWnd){
*snip*
    if(sMenuId=="mnuItem7"){
*snip*
        if(Location == 2){ // we are in chat window, not in contact list
    OriginWnd.SendMessage("Test");
        }
    }
}
Changes are made in bold.

Is the function being called after you set the_wnd? If you tried clicking the menu beforehand it would just crash the script. I forget the function to get a chat window...

Use my code instead, it's how it should be. :-)

Thanks vikke, your code worked great :)

RE: Need help with ChatWnd::SendMessage by Paril on 05-01-2007 at 06:06 PM

Oh, sorry Vikke, you posted right before me and I didn't see it :p
