RE: Conversation window
Ok, that's good idea, I'm going to start now, but I will finish tomorrow ;)

To do : - A menu item to set a "Silent" foreground (:P) for all windows.
          - An other menu item to set a "Silent" foreground only when a program entered in a customizable list in running, and only when the program's window is active...

Good ideas ;) Thanks :)

IIRC, in C++, you provide both SW_RESTORE and SW_NOACTIVATE bitwise-or'd to ShowWindow(). That restores the window, but doesn't activate it, therefore it won't move focus out of the active window.

Edit: I was close. According to MSDN, it's actually SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE.
* RaceProUK checks the value...
It's 4 ;)

RE: Conversation window
Thanks RaceProUK, but in fact, I already tried this function yesterday with a script :
code:
Interop.Call("User32.dll","ShowWindow",ChatWnd.Handle,4);
But this function doesn't worked....

So, I tried this function with an external program,"PureBasic" (:)), I get the handle, And I tried again :
code:
ShowWindow_(Handle,4)
Nothing.....

And I tried with Windows Media Player window.... It worked... :'(
:(:(:(:(

I tried too to include the "program filter", I made an external DLL, which compare the process PID in the list and the active window process PID, easy....  but It don't work either (in fact, it works, but sometimes, and "sometimes" is not a good word in programmation...) :'(:'(:'(:'(

I think that my script is going to stop there....................

Thanks guys, I'm going to submit my script to the script DB, thanks again :)
-----------------
I'm going to make an 'about window' ans submit this script, because a messagebox isn't really beautiful.... xD
-----------------
Done !
>> AutoForeground
(Sorry but I removed the 'Thanks' because the 'about window' was very very big xD.

RE: Conversation window
Nice Job. Hopefully someone can maybe help you with improvments!
you should make a new thread for your script.

[Released] AutoForeground 1.2

:) so people know about it

* maybe cookierevised knows some code so that the window is poped up, but not made the active window.
Bug:

I have the Tab Option enabled for the Script and when a Contact Messages you with the Window Restored & Active... if you are Browsing Quick Icons using
WLM's Icon Button (Can Enable that under Quick Icons)... and that Contact Messages you, AutoForeground trys to bring the Window to the Front :) Resulting in a Crash of WLM.

please don't... this thread is already 99,99% about this script. No need for yet another thread (this goes for many other threads/scripts too: there is no need to make a new thread everytime someone makes a script on request. It will clutter the forum and above all will almost always result in double/cross posts and suggestions and explanations).

People will know about it if it is in the database (especially when a link is provided to this thread for 'more information').

See RaceProUK's post and especially the link to the msdn library.
