Messenger Lock (and boss mode?) bug by ipab on 07-14-2005 at 08:11 PM

well, basically when using messenger lock. Not all windows get suppressed. The  windows such as remote assistance requests and any other requests such as whiteboard sharing...

Windows Version: Windows XP Home
Messenger Client Version: 7.0.0816
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.54.0132

Whiteboard isnt supposed to be hidden by the lock as its not a messenger window, its an external one. Netmeeting

I believe Remote Assistance is also an external window, as it's a separate application.

i know that, but what good is boss mode  if there are windows pertaining to msn messenger sessions open 8-)

hmm sort of related, i thought about this a while ago but forgot to post

how about some sort of api function for window hiding so plugin windows can be hidden with messenger lock/boss mode?

There already is API for this reason....
Use the following message "nMsg" that is broadcasted to all toplevel windows, in order to receive BOSS mode changes

code:
MessengerPlus_ModeChange
wParam = 1 for boss-protect, 2 for lock messenger
lParam = 1 when entering mode, 0 when leavingmode

   UINT nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("MessengerPlus_ModeChange");

It seems the Plus! API has more than most are aware of. At least, I don't remember seeing mention of that in the API docs.
Have you made any other discoveries TazDevil? Or are you working on 'insider' information :P
