few questions, font and window parameters by aztectrev on 01-29-2010 at 12:20 PM
Almost finished my script. works quite well, but not user friendly atm.
Is there a way to get and set the font used. what i want to do is get the current font, store it, change font, send message and then change back to stored font. cant seem to find a direct function?
and also i need to pass a parameter to my scripts window, whats the best way to do this? i need a reference to the convo window that the slash command was used on
Thanks

It is a REG_BINARY key called IM Format. However I think this key is read for new conversations...
quote:The parameters to the function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage are what you are looking for. The first parameter is the ChatWindow the second is the Message that was sent. Note this function is called for any messages you sent not just commands.

ok, thats cool. I was trying to find an OnLoad event or something to pass a parameter, i guess I just pass it to a control on my window instead and use it from there.
the font i will look into after i tried the reference
EDIT: just done a quick test, doesn't seem to change. i guess it loads it when convo is first opened

quote:I wonder if there is a Window Message that gets broadcasted to all conversations when the font changes though. I dont remember if you change one if the rest change or not... if they do then you can use a window spy to look at the messages sent after changing the font and then you can broadcast that message once you have changed the font... just an idea but at this point is simply speculation as I have no idea if it would work...

just tested changing font on one window, no change on another
EDIT: maybe there is a way to use windows messages to simulate the font dialog window? spy doesnt seem to show any special events
