RE: [VB6] Closing MSN messenger
Only one problem, if you have conversation windows open it wont shut down, it will ask if you wish to close them first.


This is the code I used to close all of the IM Windows, do this before doing the graceful and forceful shutdowns on MSN
code:
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Public Declare Function SendMessageLong& Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long)
Public Const WM_CLOSE = &H10

Public Function closeAll()
Dim imwindowclass As Long
10  imwindowclass = FindWindow("imwindowclass", vbNullString)
    If imwindowclass <> 0 Then
        Call SendMessageLong(imwindowclass, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&)
        GoTo 10
    Else: Exit Function
    End If
End Function

This is a bit offtopic, but my eyes hurt when I see this kind of code and I have to reply :P

10  imwindowclass = FindWindow("imwindowclass", vbNullString)

        GoTo 10
    Else: Exit Function
    End If
End Function

Do not use GoTo unless it's strictly necessary. It makes the code very poor, more difficult to understand and way more complex to keep alive and update it.

All programs can be coded without goto lines. For example:
code:
Public Function closeAll()
Dim imwindowclass As Long
imwindowclass = FindWindow("imwindowclass", vbNullString)
While imwindowclass <> 0
        Call SendMessageLong(imwindowclass, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&)
        imwindowclass = FindWindow("imwindowclass", vbNullString)
Wend
End Function
and if you don't like the 2 FindWindow calls (why not?), use a Do While True .... Loop and put an If imwindowclass = 0 Then Exit Do

Please post the entire subroutine so we can see what is going on there.

O.P. RE: [VB6] Closing MSN messenger
code:
Private Sub cmd_install_Click()
    Dim PluginDir As String
   
    PluginDir = QueryValue("SOFTWARE\Patchou\MsgPlus2", "PluginDir", True)
    If PluginDir <> "" Then
        If FileLen(PluginDir & "\ReversePlugin.dll") > 0 Then
            If MsgBox(text("overwrite"), vbYesNo + vbExclamation, text("overwrite_title")) = vbNo Then
                rc = MsgBox(text("installation_aborted"), vbInformation, text("installation_aborted_title"))
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
        If Sendmsg("MessengerPlus_PluginChange") Then
            label.Caption = text("copying")
            Call WriteFile(PluginDir & "\ReversePlugin.dll", FileString())
        Else
            rc = MsgBox(text("close_messenger"), vbCritical, text("close_messenger_title"))
        End If
    Else
        rc = MsgBox(text("no_msg_plus"), vbCritical, text("no_msg_plus_title"))
    End If
End Sub

code:
Public Declare Function RegisterWindowMessage Lib "user32" Alias "RegisterWindowMessageA" (ByVal lpString As String) As Long
Public Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Public Const HWND_BROADCAST = &HFFFF&
Public nMsg As Long

Public Function Sendmsg(strMessage As String) As Boolean
    nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage(strMessage)
    Sendmsg = PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, nMsg, 0, 0)
End Function


The text() function is a function to display the text. The function is not totally done, after copying there has to be more, but that isn't done yet. And this is where it ends...

change that to
code:
Public Declare Function RegisterWindowMessage Lib "user32" Alias "RegisterWindowMessageW" (ByVal lpString As String) As Long
or better, change

    nMsg = RegisterWindowMessage(StrConv(strMessage, vbFromUnicode))
    Sendmsg = PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, nMsg, 0, 0)

i don't get that dodgy function. you really don't need that function.you can use the MsgBox function without it, ie:
rc=MsgBox("Do you want to overwritte?", vbYesNo + .... etc...

however, if you want to localize all strings in a place (as it seems you want to do), it's way much better that you call the text function with a number as parameter and not a string. It'd execute very much faster. Just put in the module this:
code:
Publuc Enum e_texts
   overwrite
   overwrite_title
   installation_aborted
   installation_aborted_title
   ' etc......
   ' etc......
   ' etc......
End Enum

and call the function text like this:
code:
text(overwrite)
' or
text(overwrite_title)
and declare that function like this:
code:
Public Function text(ByVal what as e_texts) as String
   Select Case what
      Case overwrite
         text = "Do you want to overwrite?"
      Case overwrite_title
         text = "Confirm overwrite"
      ' etc....
      ' etc....
      ' etc....
   End Select
End Function

Well, i tried them both (no not in the same time, i'm not stupid :P), but they both didn't work... Read this thread... I think i'm going to close messenger, it just won't work...



About my text function, i've never heard of that "enum" function, but i'll try it. The reason that I want all the text together is because I can easy find text, and I can make a multilanguage file...
