RE: Script? did I hear script?
Hey, I'm kinda new here, but I wanted to ask ya something :)  You said that Messenger Plus! will be scriptable with VBScript. Now I know a little Visual Basic, so will I have a leg up with the scripting?  I hope so heh cause i really enjoyed VB.  Thanks.

Btw, keep up the great work.  I only use Messenger with MSGPlus ;)

VBScript is "Visual Basic Scripting Edition," like a "light" version of VB, so it's very similar.

It's really nice that MP 2.0 will be scriptable, but why did you chose VBScript of all languages? I think it would be much better if you chose JavaScript (also called ECMAScript), because this language has a standard defined by ECMA.

JavaScript is much more well developed than VBScript, wich is proven by the fact that VBScript is killed as a language in the new .NET platform by Microsoft, though JavaScript is implemented into the framework as JScript.NET.

Just my five cents.

O.P. RE: Script? did I hear script?
you're right Quark, however, there wont be scripting support in MP2.00. I just do not have enough time for it. But be sure I didn't forget about it. It will be there in a subsequent release.

MP2.1? I think it's a little early to be thinking about that... MP2.0 hasn't even been released yet.

Ok. But when MP supports scripting, which language will it support? If there should be support for one language only, I have to say that the best choice atm is JavaScript.

I hope you will document the object model of MP well, so that it is possible to develop nice tools (like syntax files for TextPad and such) for writing the scripts to run in MP.

Have you figured out in what manner these scripts should run? Should they run in a virtual machine? Can they be placed as random files (*.js) in the filesystem and then executed by MP in some manner? Must they be written inside MP and saved there for later execution? Tell me, tell me! :)
