Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english, I'm italian and i'm trying to translate better as possible. Here's my problem: I have to make a very simple script: some phrases personalizables in some points, such as:

Hi there! Today i'm *PERSONALIZED TEXT*

I want to make an XML window with a text box to write personalized text, but I cannot find the function to get the text and send the phrase  with personalization in the chatwindow.

If possibile, i want to make another text box to specify the chatwindow where the text will be written (I.E. e-mail of the receiver)



Surely this is an useless script, but is the base to improve other scripts

up: i've reviewed some scripts to understand how xml works, but i have just a problem: why in the JS file some controls are named BtnCancel, BtnClose, BtnAbout and in the XML file the corrispondent control have IDs named BtnCancel, BtnClose, BtnDisable? How can i create a new control if names are different?

You can call the control whatever you want

You could call it BtnDestroyTheWorld and as long as when attributing the function you used that name, then it will do whatever you tell it

Thanks for the answer

My problem if different: I'm watching a script (message gradiator) and in the XML file there are 3 buttons:

<Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnDisable"><Position Top="220" Left="45" Width="60"/><Caption>Disabilita</Caption></Control>

<Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnClose"><Position Top="220" Left="115" Width="60"/><Caption>Salva e Esci</Caption></Control>

<Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnCancel"><Position Top="220" Left="185" Width="60"/><Caption>Annulla</Caption></Control>

Ids are "BtnDisable",BtnClose",BtnCancel", and they are 3 buttons to save, cancel and exit from the xml window.

If i want to rename these IDs or create another button to quit from the window, where I have to change something? If I change IDs, buttons become useless.. so, in other words, where the ids are linked?

Ps. no traces of these IDs with a search in the JS part.

{
    if(ControlId == "BtnAbout")
    {
        var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("gui.xml", "About");
    }

        Wnd.Close(1);

        Wnd.Close(1);
    }
}

BtnCancel is automatically supported by Plus! to close the window without the need of any code. Therefore your function may not actually be called. Turn on Event traceing in the debug window first off.

Secondly post all of the code from the XML and the JS file so we can take a look at all of it. Just giving us what you did doesn't show any issues. (Reason I am asking is your Window may not actually be called Options. function OnWindowIdEvent_CtrlClicked() therefore you replace WindowId with the name of yoru window.)

Many many thanks.. finally i found the solution to my problem

I forgot to rename
function OnOptionsEvent_CtrlClicked(Wnd, ControlId)
in
function OnFinestracomandiEvent_CtrlClicked(Wnd, ControlId)

because I didn't know this modify to the function before..

So, thanks djdannyp and matty, if i can do something for you, just afk me

Err, sorry again, another question ^^'

How can i edit a XML window having a preview of it? For now every change that i make i have to rar the xml file into the archive, rename it to plsc, import the script, start the script from messenger and view the window..

You don't have to re-import your script at all to see the changes!
All script files are stored in Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts so if you change a file there, Plus! will load the changes. This goes for any file in your script, so instead of working from some folder outside Plus!, work on your project in Plus!' own folder!
Oh, and enable the script debugger if you haven't already, so Plus! can reload the script when you make changes to your JScript files.

Uh fantastic! Thanks!

I know about the script directory, but i did not thinked that plus reloads xml/js files at every call! Wow!

At least i can change position and add new controls to my script without re-import all

Look in the Scripting Documentation for 'Testing your Windows' and you will see an interface tester that you can download to test your xml windows

lol thanks again, useful!

As this would pretty annoying for someone who wants to try to change the files and see the results immediately, you can set a dword value "AlwaysReloadInterfaces=1" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live" to force Plus! to always reload the windows info.
