Okay,

I'm making a script that edits a registry (or overwrites doesnt matter).
On messagerecieve it will add to the registry a color - to change the keyboard to, and after 1 second it adds a second colour(restore it back to the previous color, so it looks like it flashes ).

This is what mynetx has come up with, but it doesn't work properly:

JScript code:

---

// Colour Changer
// Created by mynetx <mynetx@msgpluslive.net>
 
// global variables
 
var intColorHighlight = 0xffff6018; // aabbggrr, intense orange
var intColorNormal = 0xfffd2f22; // aabbggrr, smooth red
var objShell; // will hold the Shell ActiveX
var strAlienKey = "HKCU\\Software\\AlienFXAPI\\ColorWheel\\Colors\\Keyboard"; // registry path
 
// event handlers
 
function OnEvent_Initialize(boolMessengerStart) {
    objShell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
}
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(objWnd, strOrigin, strMessage, intMessageKind) {
    if(strOrigin == Messenger.MyName)
        return;
    objShell.RegWrite(strAlienKey, intColorHighlight, 'REG_DWORD');
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('ResetColor', 1000);
}
 
function OnEvent_Timer(strTimerId) {
    switch(strTimerId) {
        case 'ResetColor':
            objShell.RegWrite(strAlienKey, intColorNormal, 'REG_DWORD');
    }
}

Are you sure that the keyboard will change just when a key is edited? You would think that a message has to be broadcasted for it to be successful.

Where is this keyboard API documented?

Also the colours are the same...

JScript code:

---

var intColorHighlight = 0xffff6018; // aabbggrr, intense orange
var intColorNormal = 0xffff6018; // aabbggrr, smooth red

The keyboard does, there's a 3rd party program that allows more customization and registry monitoring. So any registry edits will instantly change the keyboard. It works, tried and tested - because if I manually edit the registry it will instantly change

Well the two colours in that code are the same

Yeah, typo . Either way it doesn't work.

Does it change the colour at all or not at all?

Question, Can anyone adapt this script to keep flashing the keyboard untill the convo is focused?

Thanks

BTW: I got it fixed

So what was the problem? Mind posting the updated code?
