Hey,

Im trying to get something to work here

code:

---

var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.MyContacts);
       
        for(; !e.atEnd();  e.moveNext())
        {
            var Contact = e.item();
            Contact.Blocked = "True";
        }

---

Thats my code, it just iterates through all the messenger contacts. Now what i want is, when it gets to a contact the the user is currently talking to (has the contacts window open) it will not block them ie. if window.open = true etc

Does anybody know the code for this?

Thanks

There isn't a way to iterate through the opened conversations. Basically what your doing there is blocking every single contact on your list. As well the .Blocked property accepts booleans (true/false) not strings. So it would be

code:

---

var e = new Enumerator(Messenger.MyContacts);
        for(; !e.atEnd();  e.moveNext())
        {
            var Contact = e.item();
            Contact.Blocked = true;
        }

---

Cheap way to do it would be to enum all the IMWindowClass windows store their handles in an array, then for each contact open a chat window and check if the handle existed in the array if it did block them, if it didn't close the window. That is going to be VERY slow but the only way I can see of doing it.

I just noticed the ChatWnds Object.

code:

---

Debug.Trace("Currently opened chat windows:");
var Windows = Messenger.CurrentChats;
var e = new Enumerator(Windows);
for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
    var ChatWindow = e.item();
    Debug.Trace(" Handle: " + ChatWindow.Handle);
}

---

So iterate through the chat windows and instead of tracing the handle, have another function to iterate through ChatWindow.Contacts.

Anyone ever have out of body experiences? Like you feel like your not actually where you are, right now as I am typing this it feels like I am behind myself looking down.

Ok... what ive tried doing is this, i would run the for loop which should block every contact.

Then i would run

code:

---

function openedChats()
{
    var Windows = Messenger.CurrentChats;
    var e = new Enumerator(Windows);
    for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
    {
        var ChatWindow = e.item();
        ChatWindow.Blocked = false;
    }
}

---

Which should unblock the current contacts i have open.

I get this an error:

code:

---

Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
       Line: 110. Code: -2146827850.

---

Line 110: ChatWindow.Blocked = false;

I get this because i iterate through chat windows, not the actual contacts themselves. Is there a way of getting the contact from the chat window and then unblocking them?

Try this code instead, it uses two enumerators to get the current chat windows and to get the contacts in those chats.  I think it should work, I havent tested it though I'm sorry.

code:

---

function openedChats()
{
var ChatWnds = Messenger.CurrentChats;
var e = new Enumerator(ChatWnds);
for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
var ChatWnd = e.item();
var ChatWndContacts = ChatWnd.Contacts;
var e = new Enumerator(ChatWndContacts);
for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
var Contact = e.item();
Contact.Blocked = false;
}
}
}

Weird, it works when you go through the entire contact list, but not when you go through your open contact list.

Any way around it?

The problem was you were trying to make the window unblocted, not the contacts in it.

Hmm, doesnt seem to work, still blocks and leaves them blocked

Update: When i run Block All for the second time without unblocking anyone, the contacts that have their windows currently opened become unblocked.

markee your function works, but for some reason, only when it is run the second time by clicking Block All again. I have tried:

openedChats();
openedChats();

And it doesnt work. Only when i run the script 2 seperate times. Any ideas anyone?

Couldn't get to work.

Final release of the script is Here

If anyone wants to have a crack at this, be my guest.

One other bug i had found was, when you block all/unblock all and then try to change your status it sometimes doesn't change and other times does after a minute or so.

Not sure what that could be.

Maybe try this script that is already in the scripts database, I think it is what you are looking for.

Yeah ive incorporated that script and have added my own few features and other users features.

This is why i am not submitting this script into the DB because half the work was done by Anthony Leach. I had just made this for my gf, so i customized it to make it easier to use etc.

I've offered it to the people here if they wish to use it or continue the script further.

hmm did a search for my name this thread appeared
I thought about doing this with my script whereas i would cycle through open contact windows and unblock them. But rushed it really so i just did it so that the person could just open the contact window and then they would become unblocked.

I can probally write the code for you and when i do i will post it here for you...

if i dont seem to be doing anything email me at:
leachy_ov_ashton@hotmail.com
I probally forgot

Done the code...

var Windows = Messenger.CurrentChats;
var e = new Enumerator(Windows);
for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
    var ChatWindow = e.item();
    var Contacts = ChatWindow.Contacts;
    var f = new Enumerator(Contacts);
    for(; !f.atEnd(); f.moveNext()) {
        var Contact = f.item();
        Contact.Blocked=False;
    }
}
Will have to test and probally fix tonight when i get home... Should be home bout alf 5

completed teh code now. I simply cycles through contacts in the contact list and will check if there is a window currently open with the contact. If there is then it will skip the block for that contact.

Edit:
Forgot to mention i will post update soon and will give it to Patchou to update the scripts database.
