I have a script that works perfectly in Windows XP, but does not work in Windows 7.
Here's the problem with the code.

code:

---

Interop.Call("User32.dll", "ShowWindow", ChatWnd.Handle, 0);

---

I'm using the event

code:

---

OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MsgKind)

---

what should I do to make this function working again?

What error are you getting in the debugger because it works here without a problem.

does not appear any error in the debugger ...
can it be for some of the system security policy ?
or also something about the conversations are in tab instead of separate windows ?

Post the full code and let me have a look at it.

ShowWindow does work in Windows 7 and there isn't a security policy that will affect the function of an API.

When you post the code use the following tags:
[code=js][/code]

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MsgKind)
{
  Interop.Call("User32.dll", "ShowWindow", ChatWnd.Handle, 0);
}

I've tried a few variations and nothing.
the window gets to hang for a few 10s, but after this time it unlocks and not some.

* sorry the english, is the google translator rsrsrs

Try something along these lines since you are using tabbed chats.

js code:

---

var SW_HIDE = 0;
var GA_PARENT = 1;

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MsgKind) {
    Interop.Call('user32', 'ShowWindow', Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAncestor', ChatWnd.Handle, GA_PARENT), SW_HIDE);
}

the window is stuck and will not display anything, it's just the mold and does not disappear

Ok then it is a limitation of tabbed chats. However... you could try and mimic the menu press to undock the window and then hide it. That is really your only option in this scenario I do believe.

Thank you friend, changing value the variable GA_PARENT to 2, it worked \o/

Ok that is great.

The different values GetAncestor accepts can be located here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/d...3502(v=vs.85).aspx.

The reason you were having a problem is because in a tabbed chat grouping the ChatWindow has a different parent.
