[Question] Sign in to Messenger using a script by mynetx on 10-07-2008 at 08:36 AM
The only function dealing with sign-in that I found is Messenger::AutoSignin, which does not take any parameters. Question: how to sign in to Messenger using a specified Windows Live ID and corresponding password, both being available as strings in the script? Note: the Live ID does not necessarily be stored for "Remember me" on the PC yet.

I don't think there is any such function. I might be wrong though. But what's the point having your password in the script files, anyone could read it there.

). I just want to know a way to have the current Messenger process signing in to a specified strLiveId with an also specified strPassword...

I suppose you could write a batch file and run it (it's a sloppy method though really =/)

Thanks Stigmata; I myself have already had a look at the Messenger.UIAutomation ActiveX object, but it does not support polygamy. Else would it be exactly what I need.

You have to change the default signin name in the registry and launch WLM. This will only work if the user has their password cached.
RE: [Question] Sign in to Messenger using a script by mynetx on 10-07-2008 at 11:43 AM
Well, in my case the password is not cached. I just want to have a specific instance of WLM sign in with Live ID and password, whatever these 2 data are, and: regardless if anybody else is signed in in a different process of WLM already.

You may be able to use Active Accessibility to set the login information.
But Plus! scripting will not allow you to sign a user in unless their credentials are cached.

I will do some testing later to see what I can come up with for you.

Great!
