Hi,
Is there a way to hide an antire incoming message inside an active chat window when I am receiving one
Same for outgoing - Is there a way to write a message, prees "enter", send the message but it wont appear as a new line in the chat window?
Thank!
Hen.

Hi,
It is very rare here to receive zero replies....
Is it impossible or is it too simple that no one replied ...    ?

I want that when a message is received and has a certain content, it wil be ignored and not presented on the screen.
You can change each character from "Message to be ignored" to blank characters, but then you will still have the "XX says:", which might by annoying if the same message repeats too many times.

Have any idea?

Thanks,
Hen.

Yes this is very possible, I think the lack of replies was because you weren't very clear about what you wanted. Since what you are asking is still vague I'm just going to say that you will need to use the functions OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage and OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage then detect if the message is one you wanted removed. If it is then you will return an empty string, and if it isn't then you will just return the original message.

You can make your messages not show up on either screen but you can only make the other person's messages not show up on your screen.
EDIT: Instead of replacing them with blank characters, just remove them.

Hi,
did you mean for - "ChatWnd::EditText" ?
If I check the content of the sent message, and then return "", then it really doesn't show the words on screen, but did the original message was sent?
I dont want to show the sent message on both computers, but I do want to send it. (if the message was received the script will do something, but will not show the received message)
Thanks.

Hen, it is not possible to do _exactly_ what you want.

You can only change the text which is recieved in your own chat window, thus not on the contact's side. And it can't be longer than the original recieved text (not a problem your case). But also, you can not completely discard it as in not showing anything; there will always be a line shown, albite it may be an empty line.

Also remember, if you modify the sent text, then the modified text is send, not the thing you originally typed (scripts parse the sent text before it is actually send to your contacts). To put it very simply: If you type "Hello World" and a script changes that text to "BlahBlah" then "BlahBlah" will be send to your contact.

Note also that the text you've send will again be recieved (almost instantly) by you too.

Putting things together (in an very easy way; thus far from foolproof):

Javascript code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MsgKind) {
    if (MsgKind === 1 | MsgKind === 6) {
        if (Message === "/DoTheMacarena") {
            if (Origin === Messenger.MyName){
                Debug.Trace("command send")
            } else {
                Debug.Trace("command received")
            }
            return ""
        }
    }
}
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message) {
    if (Message = "Hello World") {
        return "/DoTheMacarena"
    }
}

Hi,
Thanks.
It was  a very thorough response.

Can we solve this in a different approach? :
When I click on "video" in a chat conversation, a request is send to my contact, and no message is written in the message line.
Can we mimic this?
Can I define a new command in the script, both me and my contact will have the script, and then I will actually send him a command and not a message, thus maybe we can make it invisible in the message line?
For instance, i will send the Messenger.StartVideo(Contact) command, only it will be a different command, one that I will make up (not part of Messenger API).

Regarding the zero replies - it came from a positive point of view, as I appreciate the short time it usually takes to ppl here to reply, almost about everything.
Cheers,
Hen.
