well hello there all you nice people

I was wondering on this command in the documentation...

code:

---

[boolean] SendMessage(
    [string] Message
);

---

This code is to send a message through your window to your contacts window!

my Query however is how to put this string of code to use.

Something like this

code:

---

    if(Msg == "^CurrentMedia"){
var Message = "/me is now playing " + Messenger.CurrentMedia + ;
MsgPlus.ChatWndSendMessage("", Message)

---

Does Anyone know what i am talking about or have i amde it too complicating? any help wud be amazin, Thank you

SendMessage is a function inherited from ChatWnd object.

You'll have to use it this way :

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Msg)
{
  if (Msg == "^CurrentMedia")
  {
    var Message = "/me is now playing " + Messenger.CurrentMedia;
    ChatWnd.SendMessage(Message);
}

---

something like this works:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, sMessage){
     if(sMessage == "^^CurrentMedia"){
        var Message = "/me is now playing "+ Messenger.CurrentMedia ;
        ChatWnd.SendMessage(Message);
        sMessage="";
        return sMessage;
    }
}

---

edit: Dhaya you are faster

Why do you use the SendMessage and return an empty string and not just return the new string?

Also the script doesn't return anything if the if statement is false

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, sMessage)
{
  if (sMessage.match(/^\^currentmedia(\s+|$)/i) != null)
  {
    return "/me is now playing " + Messenger.CurrentMedia;
  }
  else
  {
    return sMessage;
  }
}

I used the SendMessage because that was the question...
and ofcourse it will return something if the statement is false...

I don't know the Scripting Documentation says you have to return something so that's the nicest way anyhoo.

And that way the string returned is very ugly.

So I made this: will write "/me is listening to %title% by %artist%"

code:

---

var string = new Array();

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, sMessage)
{
  if (sMessage.match(/^\^currentmedia(\s+|$)/i) != null)
  {
    string = Messenger.MyCurrentMedia.split("\\");
    switch (string[0])
    {
      case "ITunes":
        return "/me is now playing " + string[4].substr(1) + " by " + string[5].substr(1);
        break;
      case "":
        return "/me is now playing " + string[4].substr(1) + " by " + string[5].substr(1);
        break;
      default:
        return "/me is now playing " + Messenger.MyCurrentMedia;
    }
  }
  else
  {
    return sMessage;
  }
}
