Hi,  i would like to know how would be the script to execute an application when receiving a certain message from someone..

for example,  my WLM is always online,  and i could connect from another account far from home and run a certain application in my home just by sending for example:  !runNorton   !runWinamp   or whatever...

is it possible?

cool, nice idea. but no idea here

For sure. Not too difficult either

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
        if(Message == "!runNotepad")
        {
                ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
        }
}

i remember an old tool called "Arcine Messenger lite tools" did something similar for msn 4/5

but the developer stopped working on later versions

i loved that feature in the program

maybe research into that?

I would suggest to add a "trusted" remote account or somekind of password access. Otherwise your friends could start to mess with your computer. You would arrive home and have 400 notepads opened!

ok i made this code,    it verifies if its your "Remote Control" account by email...  and then runs the command

please tell me if this code is correct i haven't tried it

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
    if (Contact.Email == xxx@yyy.zzz) {
        if(Message == "!runNotepad"){
            ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
        }
    }
   
}

No, that won't work. The variable "Contact" isn't defined. In this situation it isn't so simple to check who the message is from. The limitations are explained in the scripting documentation.

You will have to get the Contacts from the ChatWnd Object, and then go through each Contact object, and check if your "Remote Control" account is there, and then if the Name of your "Remote Control" is the same as "Origin".

I have to go to bed now. Hopefully someone else can help you if you have more questions.

now?  does this work?

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
    var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts;
    var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);

    for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()){
        var Contact = e.item();
        if (Contact.Email == xxx@yyy.zzz) {
            if(Message == "!runNotepad"){
            ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
            }
        }
    }
   
   
}

I suggest a simple login. You send !login <password> and if youre right, you can use the commands, if youre not right, you can't use them and therefore you can't do anything.

haha thats the worst way to run a program _ever_

var WSS = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
return WSS.Run("Appname");

steal someone elses code, i'm busy working on weblets

ok, lets get back....

could anyone tell me why this code doesn't work?

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts;
var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);

for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()){
var Contact = e.item();
if (Contact.Email == xxx@yyy.zzz) {
if(Message == "!runNotepad"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
}
}
}


}

You're not setting an initial condition in your for() loop nor are you treating the email you are checking for as a string. You're also not actually checking if the user who sent you the message is xxx@yyy.zzz but if that user is within the conversation, this means that anyone in the conversation would be able to type !runNotepad (not just xxx@yyy.zzz) - I provided a little bit of extra protection by checking nicknames as well (although this still can be fooled). Also, I recommend putting the if() statement checking for a message outside the check-for-contact loop to reduce unnecessary processing every time a user sends you a message.
Try this;

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
    if(Message == "!runNotepad") {
        CheckAndRun('xxx@yyy.zzz', "/run c:\\windows\\notepad.exe", ChatWnd, Origin);
    }
}

function CheckAndRun(strEmail, strRun, ChatWnd, Origin) {
    var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts;

    for(var e = new Enumerator(Contacts); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()){
        var Contact = e.item();
        if (Contact.Email == 'xxx@yyy.zzz' && Origin == Contact.Name) {
            ChatWnd.SendMessage(strRun);
        }
    }
}

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to fix my script so that it doesn't send the message to the contact, if you get what i mean.

Heres the Script:


function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
        if(Message == "!wmp")
        {
                ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe");
        }
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}

wlmcrap, reading the documentation can be useful - return the new value;

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
        if(Message == "!wmp")
        {
                ChatWnd.SendMessage("/run C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe");

                return '';
        }
}

---

sorry I thought that it would be something like that, but i'm new in javascript and i'm only in year 7.


Now it doesn't work at all with your changes to it.
