Hello, i started WLM skinning there is a few days,

First i would like to thanks anyone for the great skinning documentation, especially Patchou and Willz.


Now here is my question(s):

I would like to integrate custom buttons with custom 'commands'. Those commands should virtually press a key or a combination of keys on the keyboard. In fact, my idea is to make buttons for controlling Media keys (for Winamp, WMP etc). Ideally, i would like to make options for what keys to what buttons, like:

code:

---

Play/Pause:  <checkbox: Ctrl> <checkbox: Alt> <checkbox: Shift> <listbox: all keyboard keys>
Next:        <checkbox: Ctrl> <checkbox: Alt> <checkbox: Shift> <listbox: all keyboard keys>
etc..

---

Do you think it is possible? I highly doubt as i haven't see anything related to it in the documentation, but this is something i really would like possible.

Thanks for helping me if you can

I don't really know but I would guess not since you can't embed any code anywhere.

Nope, not possible. Not unless you write a plugin thats specifically does what you want.

Aww too bad ok thanks anyway

If you want to try this, I suggest talking to deAd, he knows a bit about overlaying command buttons into messenger with scripts.

If you know programming, just apply a hook onto the contact list or whatever window you added the button to, then in your callback function just look for the WM_COMMAND message, and check if the ID matches the CmdId attribute the <button> has (for example <Button CmdId=10001>). If it does, do whatever the button should do.
Also make sure that the message doesn't get confused with another message from Messenger Plus! or Messenger itself.
