Hi,

Would it be possible for you to allow plugins to change the personal away message please? If not how come? Thanks


Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX

If you desire, access the registry directly (that's what I do for Hopper )

HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\(User Email)\Preferences\PersoAways\PersoAwayx -> Message

Note x is the zero-based index.

Hi,

Sorry i meant Personal Status... so that you can change the personal status via plus! plugin along with its message


Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX

yea i think this would be good

Would be good if there were other functions accesible to Plugins like SetNewName, maybe things like:

• Add things to task scheduler
  
• Get contact info like last time online etc
  
• uhh more I cant think of atm

The personal status is very easy!!! ... But not setting the away message...
I tihnk I have posted this somewhere before.. .I'll just post it again...

bnameresult = SetNewName("somenick" & Chr(160) & "{somestatus}")

That should do the trick.. This code is VB.. I think it is easy to convert to c++/others....

the Chr(160) is just the Ascii character of 160... ... If you understand...

yea but he needs to set the custom auto-reply message, not just the custom status

And if you do what (CyBeRDuDe) said, Messenger Plus! doesn't automatically remove the name suffix tag when you change your status.

Anyway, I'd like to see this (Plugin-trigger-Personalised Status) function get included too...Patchou?

If keyboard shortcuts are set up, you could get them from the Registry and simulate the pressing of those keys.

EDIT: Note it's a DWORD value, and so may need parsing.

You can set the auto-reply message using the commands, assuming he's setting the status from ParseCommand, or ReceiveNotify.
All he has to do is return the status command with the automessage appended. Like this:

code:

---

sResult = "/brb Im not here"

---

and Im not here will be the autoreply method.

You could then use CyBeRDuDe's method to set the tag if you could work out a way to tell if the contacts status has changed (could be done using the messenger api).

But this is complicated and dodgy, so a function in the API would be the best

But what I want, and I guess what XM4ST3RX and Dempsey want, is that Plus! provides a function for plugins to trigger Personalised Status anywhere (not only in ParseCommand), just like SetNewName() function...
