hello. is it possible to silently change tabs if i get a msg in my tabbed chat window that is minimized?

do you mean you want to change tabs while the chat window is minimised?
i dont think thats possible (correct me if im wrong)

btw welcome to the forums

might be possible to listen for a flashwindow message and activate that tab on restoration of the window I think

Yeah I'd like this it'd be a good feature!

Also how about if the chat window isnt in focus - I never minimize, I just bring things in front of each other

It could be quite annoying for most people... Typing messagesinto the wrong window.

I'm gonna give it a quick try

Its perfectly possible and dead easy....

Concept:
If the tabbed chatwindow is minimized (actually 'disabled' in case of tabbed chats, see here), change the caption of the taskbar button from the hidden Plus! window to the caption of the chatwindow which recieved the last message.

Pseudocode:
OnEvent_ChatWindowTextReceived(Text, ChatWnd) {
  if (ChatWnd Is Disabled) {
    setNewCaption(ChatWnd)
  }
}

1) Typing in the wrong window will not be possible since the chat window is minimized to begin with.

However it can bring some confusion when you don't pay attention when you (re)open/restore the chatwindow; since another person's chat will have the focus than the one you left.

2) Something like this already exists since a long time, see:

Napbree just asks if this can be done for windows which are neither minimized nor in focus. He just wants the same function when his convo window is behind the other windows. And I think that would also be a good improvement to the script which works only when window is minimized.

- I also replied to that,   "...when you (re)open/restore the chatwindow..."   that means it goes as well for unfocused convos as for minimized ones. The result is exactly the same.
- And that particular script is not meant to do that; it is a POC script to simulate old Plus!3 behaviour, which did not included switching tabs when convos are out of focus, for the reasons already given.
