Hello all,

I need help with showing my own element under the personal message,
like this image:



I want to put my own text, how ??

Please help me fast.

And thanks in advance

Do you mean you want to show the current song you playing? Or you just want to add some text?

jscript code:

---

function setNowPlaying(enabled, type, format, title, artist, album, contentID) {
    if (typeof(type) == "undefined") type = "Music";
    if (typeof(format) == "undefined") format = "";
    if (typeof(title) == "undefined") title = "";
    if (typeof(artist) == "undefined") artist = "";
    if (typeof(album) == "undefined") album = "";
    if (typeof(contentID) == "undefined") contentID = "";
    enabled = Math.abs(enabled);
    var WM_COPYDATA = 0x4A;
    var song = Interop.Allocate(512);
    song.WriteString(0, "\\0" + type + "\\0" + enabled + "\\0" + format + "\\0" + title + "\\0" + artist + "\\0" + album + "\\0" + contentID + "\\0");
    var copyDataStruct = Interop.Allocate(12);
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(0, 0x547);
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(4, song.Size);
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(8, song.DataPtr);
    var hMSGRUI = 0;
    do {
        hMSGRUI = Interop.Call("User32", "FindWindowExW", 0, hMSGRUI, "MsnMsgrUIManager", 0);
        if (hMSGRUI > 0) {
            Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", hMSGRUI, WM_COPYDATA, 0, copyDataStruct)
        }
    } while ( hMSGRUI != 0 )
}

// for showing:
>>>setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} - {1}", "Break Your Heart", "Taio Cruz Fr. Ludacris", "Album Name");<<<

// for hiding:
setNowPlaying(false);

If you just want to show text, can't you just use the personal message box?

So you are trying to create a brand new element on the contact list window? Not possible.

How that script in the picture does ?

Well that script isn't adding anything new. They have the user's Nick Name, the user's Personal Message and the user's Media Message... no new elements are being added.

Thanks, but is there any way to do this? like making a skin with script for it does that??

Yes, with skins you can create new elements. Please note, though, that they will only show on your end, not on the end of your contacts.

---

You (on your end) will see any new elements you create using the skin.  None of your other contacts will see this, unless they too are using the same skin.

The text will only show on your computer not on anyone you are chatting with.

Yes thanks, thats what I want, any tutorial to do this ?

Create an element with the skin, then learn to use Active Accessibility to set the text.
