Can someone make a script that simulate the ESC behavior in convo windows but in contact windows???

When you have the focus on the contact windows and press ESC then this one get minimized to try icon...

code:

---

var VK_ESC = 0xA;
var WM_CLOSE = 0x10;
function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetForegroundWindow') === Messenger.ContactListWndHandle){
        if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', VK_ESC) !== 0){
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
        }
    }
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, 100);
}

---

sorry doesnt work for me mate...

I wasn't at home when I coded this so I wasn't able to test it. However it is fixed!

code:

---

/*
    This is a simple script to detect when the user presses the
    escape key, the Messenger Contactlist will close.
   
    Coded by Matty
    Request from: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=73662
*/

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    /* Create a timer to monitor the window and the keys pressed */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    /* Check to see if the contactlist is the focused window */
    if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetForegroundWindow') === Messenger.ContactListWndHandle){
        /* Check to see if we press the escape key */
        if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', 0x1b /* VK_ESC */) !== 0){
            /*
                Looks like we pressed the escape key, so lets close the window
                We send a WM_CLOSE to the window using the SendMessageW api
            */
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, 0x10 /* WM_CLOSE */, 0, 0);
        }
    }
    /* Readd the timer no matter what so that we can keep monitoring the windows */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

now it works, thanks a lot matty... how about to do an interface where you can choose the hotkey??? maybe this can be very usefull for other people here but no with the ESC key...

after testing I have somethings to tell u...

to have a timer like that always working doesn't cause memory leaks???

and there is a problem... when you have only a convo opened and the contact list and press ESC the convo get closed and the contact list too... cause it got the focus...

sorry for bring this old thread back but I think you matty (forget all problems we have) should add this script to DB adding some GUI and options... this maybe will be very useful for many people that don't know its existence...

name suggestion: CL2TRAY

UPDATE: the bug I told you about hitting ESC with only a convo opened is happening now everytime... seems like there is something wrong with the code indeed...

SUGGESTION: I don't know if this is possible but you should check if the write cursor at the worldwheel or in the search bar... cause sometimes you may wanna erase what you wrote there and the CL gets closed...

I can see why it is happening however not sure the way it was programmed previously can fix it... try this solution...

code:

    escape key, the Messenger Contactlist will close.
   
    Coded by Matty

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    /* Create a timer to monitor the window and the keys pressed */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    /* Check to see if the contactlist is the focused window */
    if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetForegroundWindow') !== Messenger.ContactListWndHandle){
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
    return false;
   } else {
        /* Check to see if we press the escape key */
        if (Interop.Call('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', 0x1b /* VK_ESC */) !== 0){
            /*
                Looks like we pressed the escape key, so lets close the window
                We send a WM_CLOSE to the window using the SendMessageW api
            */
            Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, 0x10 /* WM_CLOSE */, 0, 0);
        }
    }
    /* Readd the timer no matter what so that we can keep monitoring the windows */
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('_minimize_window', 100);
}

thanks for you answer matty...

that solution just fixed the convo+CL closing for the first time (after signing in)... then it didn't worked again...

UPDATE: sometimes it works again... I can't understand this behavior...

sorry guys for bring this old thread alive...

hey matty have you never found a way for not closing the CL with the same ESC key press of the last convo opened closing??? this is one of my most used scripts but sometimes that small bug makes me crazy

The problem is simply this and I will try and explain it.

In this particular instance what is happening is you press the escape key. This key gets held in the queue. Then the script says oh hey you pressed a key and the contact list has the focus lets close it. Once that is done then the system processes the key press. Therefore the keypress is on another window then what it originally was. There is no way to nullenate that key press that I am aware of. I will do some research.

understood!!! (thanks for the explanation)... but then why does it happen just sometimes?

Not sure.

I will have to experiment with the BlockInput API see if I can get it to work

---

matty any news about this??? sorry for bother you...

Matty or someone can you please update this script for non minimize to tray when pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC principally and maybe fix other bugs (like the one happening when you press ESC to close a convo and then click over the CL)???

well seems like Matty is too busy right now... and there is no other person that could help me with this...

Here is a slight modification of something I did for Fraisie. matty's reply to Request - Escape key script

Won't work with polygamy as it registers the key as a hotkey.

thanks matty but now convos doesn't close with ESC

Ok I started coding a low level keyboard hook but it didn't quite work out in Plus! scripting.

I know that writing some ASM and internally subclassing the contact list window is the way to go but I have no idea how to do that...

* matty looks at Mnjul

* warmth feels that this is gonna takes so much time

I was looking at your CTRL+W window closer but I can't seem to see at what point you define the key combination to close the window. Because that I could easily change to TRY and make it work.

Oh that. I used spy++ to examined window messages and found out I could detect Ctrl+W with (perhaps only with, I don't remember) WM_TEXT (0x0102) message, with which Ctrl+W is 0x17 in wparam.

Well guys let me know when I can test it ... thanks for your effort!

Here you go.

Based off of the Ctrl+W script by Mnjul.

All credit goes to him!

Works better than ever!!! Thanks matty and thanks Mnjul... you guys rocks!

I will no longer as for more jajajaja I hope so... after all this suffering you won't do any interface to allow people change the hotkeys, do you??? just kidding... thanks guys...

Change the last function to this:

Javascript code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactListWndDestroyed(){ Interop.Call("comctl32.dll", "RemoveWindowSubclass", Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, subClassProcAddr, 0); subClassProcAddr=0; }

magically it works again thanks matty

Matty is there any chances you could add a line to maximize/resettle WLM CL with a single click in Taskbar icon? (right clicking will continue showing the menu)
