Is there any way I can get the conversation window to automatically open on my desktop (when text is received from someone on my contact list) instead of the object flashing on the task bar

Hi tomjbyrne !

Try this :

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind) {
     Handle = ChatWnd.Handle;
     Interop.Call("User32.dll","SetForegroundWindow",Handle);
     return Message;
}

Thanks for the reply,  Appologies, am very new to this, where would this code be entered

Just for you ! lol

Script : AutoForeground (Messenger Plus! Live must be launched to install this script !)

A lot to learn I guess..... Any idea why it would work on one PC and not another... all windows closed minimized on my laptop and when a msg is received the window pops up, yet on a desktop it does not.

That's really strange, I've got the same problem. My script works fine on my computer... and with my father's computer, it do not....

I'm gonna see what I can do.... but I'm not sure I can do something !!
---------------------------
EDIT : Problem found !!!

In fact, before putting the window at the foreground, I have to restore this window xD !

code:

---

Interop.Call("User32.dll","ShowWindow",Handle,9); // 9=SW_RESTORE

---

Now, this script should work fine !

>>> Download AutoForeground !
(IMPORTANT : Maybe you will have to delete you internet cache, I've got a problem to download the new version with Firefox until I delete my internet cache )
---------------------------
Do you think it will be useful for you if I insert commands ??
For exemple : /afon (AutoForeground On)
                   /afoff (AutoForeground Off)

I owe you one new code works fine, thanks a bunch for your help.

Thanks, there's no problem

Just a last post :

For you tomjbyrne, and those who are interested, I added these commands, which allow you to turn on or off AutoForeground (that's useful, because if you do something important, you don't want to be disturbed with Messenger windows !!)

The 2 commands :/afon (AutoForeground On)
                        /afoff (AutoForeground Off)
(setting will be saved into the registry)

Download : AutoForeground

Have you submitted this to the Scripts DB? I think you should

Wow, really ?

For me, this is a "little" script... but... it can be useful !
I'm going to submit this script ! Good idea ! Thanks !
