Can someone make a script that simulate the ESC behavior in convo windows but in contact windows???

When you have the focus on the contact windows and press ESC then this one get minimized to try icon...

code:

---

var VK_ESC = 0xA;
var WM_CLOSE = 0x10;
function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetForegroundWindow') === Messenger.ContactListWndHandle){
        if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', VK_ESC) !== 0){
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
        }
    }
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, 100);
}

Something like that.....

sorry doesnt work for me mate...

I wasn't at home when I coded this so I wasn't able to test it. However it is fixed!

code:

---

/*
    This is a simple script to detect when the user presses the
    escape key, the Messenger Contactlist will close.
   
    Coded by Matty
    Request from: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=73662
*/

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    /* Create a timer to monitor the window and the keys pressed */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    /* Check to see if the contactlist is the focused window */
    if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetForegroundWindow') === Messenger.ContactListWndHandle){
        /* Check to see if we press the escape key */
        if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', 0x1b /* VK_ESC */) !== 0){
            /*
                Looks like we pressed the escape key, so lets close the window
                We send a WM_CLOSE to the window using the SendMessageW api
            */
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, 0x10 /* WM_CLOSE */, 0, 0);
        }
    }
    /* Readd the timer no matter what so that we can keep monitoring the windows */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

now it works, thanks a lot matty... how about to do an interface where you can choose the hotkey??? maybe this can be very usefull for other people here but no with the ESC key...

after testing I have somethings to tell u...

to have a timer like that always working doesn't cause memory leaks???

and there is a problem... when you have only a convo opened and the contact list and press ESC the convo get closed and the contact list too... cause it got the focus...

Something like that doesn't deserve an interface to be honest.

If people want a different key then they can change the code

MSDN Virtual Keycodes

The 0x1b in this line would be changed to whatever Virtual Keycode you want from the link.

Ya well your impatient!

sorry for bring this old thread back but I think you matty (forget all problems we have) should add this script to DB adding some GUI and options... this maybe will be very useful for many people that don't know its existence...

name suggestion: CL2TRAY

UPDATE: the bug I told you about hitting ESC with only a convo opened is happening now everytime... seems like there is something wrong with the code indeed...

SUGGESTION: I don't know if this is possible but you should check if the write cursor at the worldwheel or in the search bar... cause sometimes you may wanna erase what you wrote there and the CL gets closed...

I can see why it is happening however not sure the way it was programmed previously can fix it... try this solution...
