Change state when a specific program starts by SuperAs on 05-10-2011 at 03:38 PM
Hello,
I would like to know if Messenger Plus! include the posibility to define a custom status that activate automatically when a specific program starts.
For example, if I start some_program.exe, then Messenger state is changed automatically to "busy" (for example).
Thanks in advance.

Untested but something like this could work...
js code: // Add the EXE name below
>>>var sExeName = '';<<<
var bEnabled = false;
var nPreviousStatus;
function OnEvent_Initialize() {
if (Messenger.MyStatus < STATUS_OFFLINE) return false;
MsgPlus.AddTimer('_ExeCheck', 100);
}
function OnEvent_SigninReady() {
OnEvent_Initialize();
}
function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
if (GetProcessName() === true && bEnabled === false) {
bEnabled = true;
nPreviousStatus = Messenger.MyStatus;
Messenger.MyStatus = STATUS_BUSY
} else if (GetProcessName() === false && bEnabled === true) {
bEnabled = false;
Messenger.MyStatus = nPreviousStatus;
}
MsgPlus.AddTimer('_ExeCheck', 100);
}
function GetProcessName(){
return new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator").ConnectServer(".", "root\\cimv2").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name LIKE '%" + sExeName + "%'").Count !== 0;
}

}[/code]
Thank you very much matty. Just 2 little questions from a newbie...
1.- "root\\cimv2" should be changed?... if so, to what?.
2.- If I want to change to a custom state, how should I have to change the line:
Messenger.MyStatus = STATUS_BUSY
Where can I find the constant name of my MSN customized state?
Ty again!.

No you don't have to change that; however if it is not working try this:
js code: function GetProcessName(){
return new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator").ConnectServer(".").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name LIKE '%" + sExeName + "%'").Count !== 0;
}

If you mean personalized status; those are not accessible using Plus! scripting.
