the Off option is not done yet as i am still testing auto-hide feature.
also there is an option to force autohide if the window is not skinned, you should enable that one.

i am going to get into the off and individual timer for the menu, in some days, cause im studing for exams now...

about SetFocus() there are two cases i am considering...
1.
on mouse over the window it does not get a focus, so you can still work on the previous window, until mesenger closes automatically
so i cannot know when the window loses focus to close window immediatelly as requested before

2.
on mouse over the window it does get a focus, i probably can do the above, but when the window is hidden with the timer, the i don't know to which window to set the focus to, as when the window will close(slide back) it will still carry the focus...

which one do you prefer!!!

---

Ok.. I've also got exams soon.. So I don't have any time either..
About the focus:
Well.. I don't know the codes for c++ but these are taking from VB, I use this in my Shortcut Plugin, when sending text to a contact

code:

---

Public Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "USER32" () As Long
Public Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "USER32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long

---

Then before lauching the new window (or in your situation before doing the "autohide" function, just get the Hwnd from the foregroundwindow (=The active window)

code:

---

OldHwnd = GetForegroundWindow

---

and then do the task, autohide and after that set the old ForegroundWindow to the new active window again...

code:

---

Call SetForegroundWindow(OldHwnd)

---

This should do the trick.. Just rewrite it to c++... ...
I hope this contributed with anything?...

hmm so IDispatch; stdcall; is a return value and not an argument ??? that is what you mean?

well i upload the latest progress that you will see for about a week
hide menu has its own timer now
and off is fixed now i think...

thanks (Cyberdude). i will give it a shot later.

code:

---

HWND hwnd = GetForegroundWindow();
/*...*/
SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);

---

may work

Edit: Hmm... timing's off.
And yes, I mean the IDispatch is now the return value

i have already tryed that raceprouk, i am going to try Get/SetFocus
beacuse i didnt get the results i expected, at least as i read Get/SetFocus send a notification WM_SETFOCUS/WM_KILLFOCUS which i will need afterall to know when focus was lost.

---

raceprouk can you send me a copy of the new IDL and explay how to use it ? plz

Not sure how I can get an IDL from the Messenger exe, though I can get a TLB.

well can you extract it, send it andexplain how to use it... pm me with the details

Here's the TLB.
Sorry, but I have no idea how to use it

thanks a lot i couldn't find it due to wrong guids en stuff...
(can you expalin how to extract it anyways..)

edit... compiles ok... lets see if it works

and you are set thanks a lot... but it will be compatible only with v7.0, no worries though in my case

---

i see there are a lot of coders around here, how's that nobody every begun such a project.... or take it on from where docker left)

Actually i was expecting for docker to be completed, but since i tryed to download it recently, and the link was broken and there was no update(progress) since 2001 i think..., i thought to begin a new project

/*
would love to see tabbed convos someday in this plugin as well if some one else does not beat me too it, before i finish these features...
*/

Out of interest, where could I actually download the most recent version? I've downloaded one from the previous pages but that's apprantly out of date..
