Hello everyone!

I've created a script that places WLM back into the tray from the taskbar on Windows 7.
The script will only work on Win7 and WLM2009 and WLM2011.

Known glitches:
- Log-in animation doesn't always run
  WLM2011:
- Does not hide the log-in window when it's minimized (it would cause bugs)
- Extra "More Statuses" submenu

Please disable the Compatibility Mode setting while using the script.

Current version: 1.0 Beta 5

Well... After importing the script, Windows Explorer has crashed and closed, meaning I have no taskbar. Any attempt to bring up Task Manager results in an Application Error.

Edit: Task Manager came up eventually after closing all windows.

Windows 7, WLM 2011.

It's working fine here, Windows 7 and WLM 2009

Thank you for your replies.

Chris, can you please look into your event viewer (Start -> eventvwr)?
You need to look for the red error icons about this problem in the event viewer.

It'd be nice if you sent me the information you find there plus any memory dumps that might have been created of the crash.

Thank you

Very nice script! I love it Thank you...
There are no seen disadvatanges yet.

I'm happy you like it.
Can you please post what version of Messenger are you using it on?

Hello Speeder!

This is the debug info:

code:

---

Function called: OnEvent_ContactListWndCreated
Bad calling convention detected for "MessengerWindow" in "C:\Program Files\Yuna Software\Messenger Plus!\WLM-Scripts\MessengerToTray Beta\MessengerTrayHelper.dll". The function must be declared with __stdcall and called with the appropriate number of parameter.
Function called: OnEvent_ContactListWndDestroyed
Bad calling convention detected for "MessengerWindow" in "C:\Program Files\Yuna Software\Messenger Plus!\WLM-Scripts\MessengerToTray Beta\MessengerTrayHelper.dll". The function must be declared with __stdcall and called with the appropriate number of parameter.

Use wlm '09 and plus 5.
What do you think?

This apart, the script is good! I like it..

Thank you for your reply, Mystical. The script is updated and that error is fixed.
About box should write 1.0 Beta 2.

I see you removed beta from the name and moved it to the version. Which is good. But because of that both versions will run side by side. People who had the first version should manually remove it, otherwise they'll get 2 tray icons. I though it was a bug at first .

This is why you want to change to name of a script as little as possible, preferably never.


EDIT:
Otherwise is is working fine for me. Nice script, I know a lot of people want this feature, and running Messenger in Vista compatibility mode has been reported to cause problems before, so this is a great solution.

Only thing, the tray menu has 'Lock Messenger' in it. Locking Messenger does not hide your tray icon, which defeats the purpose of locking Messenger in a lot of cases. Would be nice if the tray icon could change to the icon configured by Messenger Plus! in that case.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (6.1.7600)
Windows Live Messenger 15.4.1109
Messenger Plus! 5.00.0.702

There is a tag in the script info folder called <InstallDir> which will let you specify the folder you want to install to. This way you can keep installing to the same directory but changing the name of the script.

But as Menthix said this shouldn't be done if it can be avoided.
