Don't worry, I'll keep trying

If your subclassing doesen't work just do it the easy way. Set akeyboard hook for Escape. when it's pressed check the top most windowhandle and compare to a list of enumed Handles of the known Conversation Windows. and minimize the window, otherwise just exit the function. Simple but hey it works

Thing is, the subclassing should work. When I use Spy++, it catches the WM_KEYDOWN event properly. It just doesn't when I subclass.
As for a keyboard hook, last time I tried that, I couldn't get it to work at all.

i was unable to catch WM_KEYDOWN on the imwindow

It doesn't go to the IMWindow: it goes to the DirectUIHWND inside. And I still can't catch it!

Thanks for the effort put in guys. I really appreciate it. Still hoping for the best.

OK, here is MDE (MSN Disable ESC)* v0.9 beta



I don't care if somebody else includes this functionality in another plugin, a friend of mine wanted this too so I made it.

This is an "unofficial" release (even tough it works perfectly fine) because I'll add some more stupid stuff later (about box and crap like that), so don't freakin' post this anywhere else.

Download here.



*Hmmm... It should be "Messenger Disable ESC" now that I think about it, but to change it I should start Delphi again and recompile it and it's 3 a.m. and I don't feel like doing that




EDIT: To install it, simply open the .zip file with something like WinZip or WinRAR, extract the .dll file to MsgPlus\Plugins folder and restart Messenger.

you can always try Good ol' windows key + m?
Granted, it'll minimise all your windows but from what I gather they probably already will be

but the idea was to stop conversations from closing when escape is pressed and minimising them instead was just another option.
