Is there a way to load / unload a script from another application, without having the confirmation box when loading a *.plsc file ?

With the plugins, I used (Delphi code) :

code:

---

          hPluginChange := RegisterWindowMessage('MessengerPlus_PluginChange');
          PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, hPluginChange, 0, 0);

---

But what can I do for scripts ?

There is no way to do so I'm afraid...

Well, you could simulate mouse/keyboard events to "fake open" Plus! Preferences and its Scripts section, and "fake click" the checkbox, but I guess that's a little bit troublesome and not very reliable.

Make a 'fake edit' to one of the script files (e.g., add a space to the end, remove it, save) or something like that.

Bit of a crappy and unreliable way though.

OK, thanks !

So, there is no way to install Scripts when WLM is not running ?!...

You could install / disable scripts when plus isn't running, you just have to add the right registry keys to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts  and the right files in the script directory.

Or remove them to remove the script.

If WLM isn't running that'll work fine.

Thanks ! You're right ! When WLM is not running it's easy.

Is there a clean method to do this when WLM is running :
- for loading a script : without having the confirmation box when loading a *.plsc file ?...
- for unloading a script : without having to do "fake clicks" on the buttons ?

As said in the first reply in this thread: nope....

And actually, I would find it dangerous when scripts can be added without the confirmation box!! That confirmation box is there for a perfect good reason though: to warn people about the possebility of danger when installing a script. Hence why there is also a checkbox to be checked before one could install a script (yes there are ways around the confirmation when WLM isn't running, but still...).

that only works in "debug mode", and Patchou explicitly said not to make scripts that rely on that feature of Plus. It's only purpose is to help developers while they're coding the script.

OK !

So, there is no clear way to uninstall (from another program) a script when WLM is running...
