Lately, I have been very interested in copying other people DPs, diplay names and PSMs and acting like them. However, the one thing there would appear to be no script for is finding what text type (like New Times Roman-Bold-Blue) the other person is using. So if anybody thinks they might be able to figure something like that out, that would be great.

Thanks!

It has been requested a lot. However, in scripting there is nothing to detect the font and colour your contact is using at the moment, sorry .

Thanks

NP.

You can find the font no problem, but setting it is harder via a script, although you could use a command to TELL you the font and manually change it yourself

Yeah, if somebody could make that, then that would still be as good.

If somebody knows a way to find out the font of the contact like Spunky says, I've come up with a script to set it:

code:

---

var WshShellObj = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fontToSet = 'Arial';

function changeFont(ChatWnd)
{
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('setFont', 500);
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', ChatWnd.Handle , 0x0111, 40211, 0);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
{
    WshShellObj.SendKeys(fontToSet + '{ENTER}');
}

It's the only method I could come up with and it displays the font window for a split second - maybe it would inspire somebody.
I'm quite new to scripting.

There is no such function =/

Also, SendKeys is not the best idea for a script, as you may end up typing it somewhere else.

The best way to do it would be to edit outgoing packets, something that Plus! will not do...

EDIT: Also, what if you don't have their font installed?

Thats because i made it to be called. Maybe something like this?

code:

---

var WshShellObj = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fontToSet;

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
    fontToSet = 'Arial';
    changeFont(ChatWnd);
}

function changeFont(ChatWnd)
{
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('setFont', 500);
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', ChatWnd.Handle , 0x0111, 40211, 0);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
{
    WshShellObj.SendKeys(fontToSet + '{ENTER}');
}

I see your point with the SendKeys though (i think there's a WM_SETTEXT message that could be used, but I couldnt work it out), and if the font isn't installed.
