Hi all! I'm making a new script and asking some questions ... My script send a file to my contact and i want that the user has a lot of informations about the transfer is there a way to take the position of this progressbar and give it to my progressbar in my script UI ? It is possible to have more informations about it such as Speed, Time Remaining, Elapsed Time, Size of the file, Remaining Size, etc. ?

Thanks! And it would be useful for a lot of users/developpers!

Nope, not at the moment as there isn't a way to get the progress of a script being sent... Or even if it is in the progress of sending or if the file has failed

So bad ... Why at the moment ?

At the moment, because you never know what neat ideas these script writers will come up with for finding things

Patchou might one day impliment it into the scripting system...

I would say request it as a feature, but i'm not sure if it has already been requested...

Cloudy

Thanks for answer!
But maybe do you think that WLM put it in the registry or in a DLL or something else during the transfer ? Nobody has an idea ?

No, That is highly unlikely... It might store the transfer details in memory as it is downloading though, but i'm not sure where it would store them, and would require a highly advanced scripter... Another method would be somehow hooking into messenger and finding out the transfer, but again would require advanced scripting...

Cloudy

Yeah or maybe i have to create my own file transfer protocol just as File Transfer Plus ...

Yeah, but then your contact would need the script aswell, which isn't very practical...

Cloudy

True, I'll see ...
I have an another question which would be useful for other developpers, is there a way to send a file to a contact when you know his email adress ( by instance : MsgPlus.SendFile('mymail@live.com', 'C:/text.txt') ) ... ?

You can iterate trough the chatwindows to see if a window with that user is already opened or open an new window for that user and send it.
