O.P. Plugin Request: Auto-Restoring Conversation Windows
Any chance someone could code a plugin that makes newly created conversation windows automatically restore/maximise? It might seem like an insignificant feature to want, but I personally think this would be great.

'Being the bored person I am I made a small example. This is the code in Visual Basic on how you would do it. I just don't have the time to make it a plugin.
'Make sure to set a reference to the MessengerAPI Type Library


Public WithEvents MessengerAPI As MessengerAPI.Messenger
Public Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Public Const SW_NORMAL = 1
Public Const SW_MINIMIZE = 6
Public Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
Public Const SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4

Public Function Initialize(ByVal nVersion As Long, ByVal sUserEmail As String, ByVal oMessenger As Object) As Boolean
    Initialize = True
    Set MessengerAPI = oMessenger
End Function

Private Sub MessengerAPI_OnIMWindowCreated(ByVal pIMWindow As Object)
    Dim IMWindow_Interface As IMessengerConversationWnd
    Set IMWindow_Interface = pIMWindow
   
' This will show the window normally with focus
    ShowWindow IMWindow_Interface.hWnd, SW_NORMAL
' This will maximize the window
    ShowWindow IMWindow_Interface.hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZE
' This will minimize the window
    ShowWindow IMWindow_Interface.hWnd, SW_MINIMIZE
' This will minimize the window
    ShowWindow IMWindow_Interface.hWnd, SW_MINIMIZE
' This will show the window normally without gaining focus
    ShowWindow IMWindow_Interface.hWnd, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE
End Sub

I'll give it a try. :o

Cyberdude should do it, though.

Edit: in VB6, it worked for a second and then it stopped. I'll try with VB.net (though, it's difficult as hell to make it work :sad:).
