O.P. RE: [Release]Message Scroller v0.1
I'm glad you like it :)

Matty is currently helping me create the script without using a seperate DLL, which will be a little hard for me, because I totally suck in jscript :P

I would have liked to still use a DLL for the above reason, but I must admit that it looks cool with WLM style windows (H)

Anyway, I think that I'll submit this to the script database... :)

RE: [Release]Message Scroller v0.1
Nice idea, i like it but a few minor points /suggestions:
- I can type in the window... Is that meant to be? :P
- Is it possible to hide (button? rightclick? automaticly?) the window
- Is it possible to react from there, directly to the last person who said something to you?

RE: [Release]Message Scroller v0.1
The message box doesn't disappear for me :S

Anyway to stop this or close it myself?


Damn, didn't read the first post probably :P

But I think it should disappear automatically after a set amount of time...

O.P. RE: [Updated]Message Scroller v0.2
21/07/06: Version 0.2 released!
Same link.

What's new?
Uses Plus!'s XML interface engine now, which is a lot nicer, thanks to Matty. That means that no DLLs are now needed.
The position of the scroller window is remembered when it's closed, and it is restored to that position when a new message is received.
You now need to click a "Switch" button instead of double clicking the window. This is done since of a limitation (there is no double click event on the window)

Known Bugs:
The scroller window loses the Windows XP dragging window effect if a WLM window isn't shown on the screen.
This has something to do with the Always on Top code, but I still haven't figured out what...

Special thanks to Matty for designing the scroller window, and some other code help :)
I will submit this to the script DB tommorow... |-)

RE: [Updated]Message Scroller v0.2
Thanks for the update :D
Seems the double click is not working anymore? EDIT: nevermind, didnt read the release note. Hmm but why did it work before (v0.1)?

I have some suggestion:
- GUI :P
- Right click to dismiss
- Add an option so that msg only pop up when at least 1 WLM window is active. I dont like to be doing something else and msg scroller keeps poping up on me
- Option to go back to previous chat window after replying the pop up msg, if possible

Looking forward for your updates!

Is it possible to have an option to show the scroller only when the chat window is minimized?  That would be nice. :)

Just my suggestions:
  • 1 Howabout a configuration window that would let us choose the transparency of the window?
  • 2 A way to make the window stop jumping around when different contacts say things
  • 3 A simple way to turn the script on/off, even though you can just disable it

Find at line 63 this code:
code:
function OnEvent_MessengerLocked() {
    WLMLocked = true;
    if (pMsgWnd != undefined) {
        pMsgWnd.Close();
    }
}
and delete it.
However, I don't know if this will show the scroller window when WLM is locked...
The reason is, I dont know wether Plus! allows scripts to create windows when WLM is locked...
With some testing I did, it seems that sometimes the window is created, and sometimes, it doesn't.
It would be nice if you could test it a little, because I'm thinking to add this as a feature... :)

The reason that it worked before is that I used an external DLL made in Visual Basic.
Visual Basic did forward the double click message to my DLL, so, my DLL knew that the user double clicked the window, and it performed the coded actions...
I think it is possible to do it by a DLL coded in C++ which subclasses the scroller window. It will be able to receive all the messages the window is receiving (the window is receiving the messages, but Plus! doesn't forward them to the script) and tell the script that the window was double clicked, but I think that it is too much work for nothing (and I also don't know C++ :P)

Yes, it is on my to-do list :)

I think about putting the option to show the scroller window when WLM is locked, and a transparency control thingy.
Oh, and something to enable/disable the scroller window without having to disable the script...

Plus! forwards the click event to the script, but it doesn't forward the mouse button that was pressed...
So, it's not possible... :(

Yes, this is possible :)
When you say WLM window, do you mean only the chat window?
Or the contact list too, the preferences window etc?

The scroller window should only appear if the focused window is not the chat window which the message came from...
But I think you mean to not show the window if the chat window is visible on the screen, but not focused?
If this is what you mean, then, I don't think that this is possible... :(

To manually change the transparency, find line 94, and change "180" to something from the range 0 ... 255 (0 is totally invisible and 255 is totally opaque)
