O.P. control Messenger (Plus!) via scripting/command line?
Howdy



wouldn't it be possible to create a plug-in/add-on so you could perform actions within Messenger (Plus!) from command line or scripts (like VBScript... by creating an object)..

an example would be to have a VBscript that can be used to change the display picture, or sending a file to somebody or such...

If a Windows Scripting Host object could connect to the API stuff (or such) maybe you could do anything from a script in Messenger (Plus!)... e.g: change status, change name, ...


Good idea ?

good idea.. :D.. but I think the right person to take this Job is Patchou... :D.. maybe we can get him to implement this into the new version of MSG Plus!, as ATM I think he is working on the "shortcut to conversation with contact" thingy, which if he does this then what U ask for is really easy to put in for him...

So Patchou will U do us the favor to implement this???? or does anyone else want to do this?

The ability to have a scripting language in Messenger Plus! was suggested before, but Patchou rejected the idea.

You can use the search function to find older threads about this, but I think http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=23665 is the most detailed one.

If Patchou rejects the idea and there're enough people interested in this, I guess somebody should develop an add-on / plug-in to accomplish the needs. Right?

indeed dempsey, you are on the right track :)

not an 'embedded' script thing but rather an external script that could perform numerous actions within Messenger (Plus!)

great challenge eh ? :D
