I've been trying the tutorial script in getting started, however, when I call the function

code:

---

MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message);

---

nothing happens, any ideas why?

Have you defined the message to appear? Also is your script running? If its stopped then there are problems with your script try and solve them.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
     MsgPlus.DisplayToast('','test');
}

---

Make sure your status is not set to busy. Try enabling the Debug Window.

code:

---

Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = true;

---

See if there are any errors with the code.

Is Message defined and contain a value?

Message is defined, and the debug window open, I also made sure I added a debug.trace(Message) so I would see if the message was actually passing.
Debug.trace does show the message, but the toast is not displayed.
My status is set on away.

here is the debug exctract:

quote:

---

Script is now loaded and ready
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
Hello World!
Function called: OnEvent_Uninitialize
Script has been stopped
Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
Hello World!
Function called: OnEvent_Signin
Hello Master 悪魔!

---

and here are the whole code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
    Debug.Trace("Hello World!");
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("test", "test"); //to see if it appeared with anything
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{

}

function OnEvent_Signin(Email)
{
    if(Email == "my@email.com") //Change for your sign-in email
    {
        var Message = "Hello Master " + Messenger.MyName + "!";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        Debug.Trace(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message);
    }
}

---

I added a function to see if DisplayToast was returning fasle and it is.
This said, none of the conditions stated in the doc are met...

quote:

---

- The user's status is Busy and "Show Messenger Plus! popup notifications when Busy" is unchecked in the user's preferences.

- The user has locked out his Windows session.
- A screensaver is currently running.
- The user is playing to a full screen DirectX game.

is there any place where I could check the exhaustive list of why it would return false?

Restart Windows Live Messenger. (signing in as Online)
See if you get any toasts popping up.

As well please don't double post use the button instead. I have an RSS Feed for the site so I see when stuff is added and I will reply when I get a chance.

button. it

I think Matty meant the button, not the one

Apologies for the double post.

I restarted live with online status, it still returns false.
I have no idea why.

Everything seems to be in normal conditions.

I have also tried to test with the following code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
    callToast();
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{

}

function callToast()
{
    var tst = MsgPlus.DisplayToast("test", "test");
    Debug.Trace("DisplatToast: "+tst); 
}

---

I get this as a result:

quote:

---

Script has been stopped
Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
DisplatToast: false

---

PS: I gathered it was the edit butto lol

There is no reason why this shouldn't work.

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
     Debug.Trace(MsgPlus.DisplayToast("test", "test"));
}
