Hi guys,

I'm attaching a Reminder+ script.
The reason to create this script was that I missed this feature a lot in Plus! Live and the reason why I'm publishing it is that I saw on the forum that I was not alone.

I'm posting it here as this is my first larger-scaled script and I want to check what the response will be and whether it will work for more users than just me.
So feel free to send any comments and report any bugs you will encounter.
Thanks!

Reminder+ v1.0 features:
- adding, removing and editing tasks
- recurring option
- reminder for alarms which were due while you were not signed-in, Messenger was locked or you were away from the computer
- WIN+S hotkey to activate alarms window
- toggle the sound on/off and select a sound to be played

Let me just send big thanks to all on the forum whose questions and answers helped me a lot.

Cheers!

Change log:
v2.0.0
- added an option to change status when alarm is due

v1.2.0

v1.1.0
- added an option to play a speaker beep

Nice.

You should add an option for an internal speaker beep for the alarm. For it you can use Beep from Kernel32.dll. Eg

code:

---

Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll", "Beep", 1000/* Frequency */, 300 /*Duration in milliseconds*/);

---

Umm.. I don't know whether it's a problem with me, or the script.. but on the "Options" window, the [...] and [>>] Buttons don't work...?
Everything else seems pretty cool, good job

I have just updated the first post with version 1.1, now the speaker beep is included.

Thanks!

This is a very nice script,  finally there's a replacement for the MsgPlus! 3 Scheduler feature.

There's is one thing that I miss which was in the Messenger Plus! 3 Scheduler, and thats the ability to automatically change your status and/or PSM according to a schedule. I used to use this for when i used to watch something on TV (for example). I used to set up the scheduler to automatically change my Status and PSM to let my contacts now i'm watching TV, then when the schedule expired MsgPlus! 3 could turn my status back again. Would be nice for Reminder+ to have this also

I'm attaching a version where the Open dialog should appear on Vista as well. I have tested this on Vista Business and XP SP2 so if you could try and confirm it is OK, that would be perfect.
I would update the official release then.
Thanks.

Can confirm Open dialogue appears on Vista, and alarm plays, but then crashes Messenger afterwards

is the button next to open/find supposed to play the music/sound because it doesn't

8.5 beta 1 update 1

Thanks a lot for making this script. This is one of those features that I REALLY need!

This script is very useful. Can the alarm be set at HH:MMS? The current script only allows the alarm to be set at HH:MM which is not sufficient for me.

See my reply in that other thread:
CookieRevised's reply to [request] Time-Changing PSM

PS: please don't cross-post (posting the same message in several threads).

I could be retarded and it could be an easy fix but, everytime I hit the Windows key and S the reminder will show up on my bar but not on my screen, Im hoping I can fix it without losing all my alarms. I love this program and used it with plus 3. any ideas?

Hi,

try to locate the alarms.xml file, it should be in the following directory by default
C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Reminder+\alarms.xml

and delete the windowPosition and LstViewWidth IDs on the first row.

E.g.
Replace
<Reminder version="2.1.0" windowPosition="555,282,120,0" LstViewWidth="0,47,47,47,142,47,95,47">
with
<Reminder version="2.1.0">


Next time the window should be opened properly.

Thanks for your nice script.I want a "every working day" option if possible.

Once I have some free time I will see what I can do about this.
