Is there a way to hide the toast when you receive the first message from someone, like this.

* tim opens convo *
Tim Says: hey!

* toast on my screen *

Tim Says: Hey!

is there a script that can stop that from appearing?

you can disable that in the settings of WLM by unchecking alert you when someone writes you my friend...

thanks but i would also like to do this as a script. I found this http://www.msgpluslive.cl/scripts/view/224-MSN-Popup-Spy/ but id like to make it so i don't see anything at all.

Why? If there is already an option for it...

because I am learning, i would like to know its doable, as far as i know it only works if you have that popup showing. If anyone can do it id appreciate it.

Kind Regards,
SourSpud

Edit the script you downloaded. You should be able to see how they did it and might be able to piece it together.

Tried that mate, this is my result.

Pretty sure its working bug free but it needs the .xml file to work aswell can that be removed?

As long as you remove all MsgPlus.CreateWnd functions that refer to it.

I did just write a quick script at work, it is as yet untested though:

js code:

---

var WM_CLOSE = 0x10; // Doesn't need to be defined, but it's just there to explain what it is

function OnEvent_Initialize(){ // On Script start
    if(Messenger.MyStatus > 1){ // If we are signed in
        OnEvent_SigninReady(Messenger.MyEmail); // Call the event OnEvent_SigninReady
    }
}

function OnEvent_SigninReady(){ // When we have signed in
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(Messenger.MyUserId, 100); // Start searching using a timer. Using Messenger.MyUserId as the timer's ID. Will be unique to the user, which is useful for checking it was added by the currently logged in user
}

function OnEvent_Timer(ID){ // When the timer fires
    var hWnd = Interop.Call("user32", "FindWindowW", "msblpopupmsgwclass", 0); // Find the toast window
    if(hWnd != null){ // If we found one
        Interop.Call ( 'user32' , 'SendMessageW' , hWnd , WM_CLOSE, 0 , 0 ) ; // Close it
    }
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(ID, 100); // Repeat the timer
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(){ // On script stopped
    MsgPlus.CancelTimer(Messenger.MyUserId); // Cancel outstanding timers
}

function OnEvent_Signout(){ // When we have signed out
    OnEvent_Uninitialize(); // Cancel outstanding timers
}

thanks alot mate its working, and cheers for the comments in the code

quote:

---

js code:

---

...
var hWnd = Interop.Call("user32", "FindWindowW", "msblpopupmsgwclass", 0); // Find the toast window
if(hWnd != null){ // If we found one
    Interop.Call ( 'user32' , 'SendMessageW' , hWnd , WM_CLOSE, 0 , 0 ) ; // Close it
}
...

You might wanna repeat that until you don't find any windows anymore. There could be multiple toasts at the same moment.
Also, that code is not polygamy safe (every code should be made polygamy safe if possible).

This will fix all that:

js code:

---

...
var tIDCurrent = Interop.Call('Kernel32', 'GetCurrentThreadId');
var hWnd = 0;
while (hWnd = Interop.Call('User32', 'FindWindowW', 'MSBLPopupMsgWClass', 0)) {
    if (Interop.Call('User32', 'GetWindowThreadProcessId', hWnd, 0) === tIDCurrent) {
        Interop.Call ('User32', 'SendMessageW', hWnd ,WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
    }
}
...

PS: SourSpud, it would still be better to actually turn off the option in Messenger though! Script like this are process intensive and might slow things down because of the use of that timer. Also, Plus! toasts aren't hidden by this. So you still need to disable some options in preferences anyways.
