EDIT: If I remember correctly, the Windows WIN+L shortcut to lock the workstation takes priority over any over shortcuts so it may not work to set it to that. You could however set it to WIN+K and do the two shortcuts one after another

I think you misunderstood my code. It just monitors for a locked desktop not the Win+L shortcut key

TBH, I didn't really read the code, but it wasn't referring to that anyway. I was just referring to the process of setting a hotkey to something that has already been assigned a windows function.

Also, is

It is new hybrid code! Only 128bit processors can run it

Well I could easily create a script to set the status to Idle when you lock your computer. That is simple.

Something like this could work (untested by the way):

js code:

---

var bIsDesktopLocked;
var nPreStatus = 0;

function OnEvent_Initialize() {
    if (Messenger.MyStatus < STATUS_INVISIBLE) return false;
   
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('isDesktopLocked()', 100);
}

function OnEvent_SigninReady() {
    OnEvent_Initialize();
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
    var b = isDesktopLocked();
    var n = Messenger.MyStatus;
    if(b !== bIsDesktopLocked) {
        if(Messenger.MyStatus !== STATUS_IDLE &&
           Messenger.MyStatus !== nPreStatus) {
            Messenger.MyStatus = (b ? STATUS_IDLE : nPreStatus);
            nPreStatus = n;
        }
    }
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, 100);
}

function isDesktopLocked() {
    var DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP = 0x100;
   
    var p_lngHwnd = Interop.Call('user32', 'OpenDesktopW', 'Default', 0, false, DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP);
    if(p_lngHwnd !== 0)
        var p_lngRtn = Interop.Call('user32', 'SwitchDesktop', p_lngHwnd);
   
    Interop.Call('user32', 'CloseDesktop', p_lngHwnd);
    return p_lngRtn === 0;
}

Thanks! Exactly best of what I wanted!

There is a line that I can change if I choose to set as BUSY instead of AWAY?

Well currently it would set you to idle if you lock your computer. You can change both the STATUS_IDLE with any of the following

I haven't tested the code either, but by the looks of it it isn't going to work (or I need some more sleep though... quite possible too)...

bIsDesktopLocked isn't set anywhere, yet is used to be compared with b which is the result of the isDesktopLocked() function.

And what after the desktop is unlocked? It doesn't seem to switch the status back, even if bIsDesktopLocked was set to the previous state of b (unless it was never intended to do, then I'll shut up).

And when the status is Appearing Offline, locking the workstation shouldn't set the status to Idle (or Away).

I applied that script and something is wrong. My message icon, is flicking between ONLINE and AWAY like CONSTANTLY. LOL. Like it's ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF in seconds!

-edit- then again seems okay now. Weird. So anyway to set the status back to ONLINE automatically when my computer is unlock?

Yeah Cookie, I realized late last night that bIsDesktopLocked wasn't being set. Like I said I didn't test the code. I will try and get to it tonight to see.

As for the constant change in status that is weird, I will have to have a look.

Alright. That on and off problem does not always happen. Just sometimes. Maybe you should make part where it will auto set back to Online when computer is Unlock?

I will add an interface around it where you can select the status for the 2 scenarios.

Cool alright! Sounds nice!
