O.P. Silent Messages

Hey,

Im wondering if anyone would have any ideas how to send a message to a chat window silently (not really silently), so you don't loose focus from the current window.

Is it even possible?

RE: Silent Messages

code:
ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat("smarterchild@hotmail.com");//Open the ChatWnd
ChatWnd.SendMessage("Testing");//Send the Message
Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", ChatWnd.Handle, 274, 0xF020, null);//Minimize the ChatWnd

I guess thats what you want [Image: msn_tongue.gif]

.

Edit: Fixed

Works well... Cept..

Bad calling convention detected for "SendMessageW" in "User32". The function must be declared with __stdcall and called with the appropriate number of parameter.

In the debug window...

RE: Silent Messages

Change it to

code:
Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", ChatWnd.Handle, 274, 0xF020, 0);//Minimize the ChatWnd

Because SendMessage wants 4 parameters, but that last (lParam) isn't used when you minimize

O.P. RE: Silent Messages

Felu told me to change it to true, and it works. But I'll use 0, it seems more... correct

But isnt there a way to get the current window handle, send message, then bring the original to the front?

code:
var CurWindow = Interop.Allocate(32);
Interop.Call('User32', 'GetTopWindow', CurWindow);
// Send Message
Interop.Call("User32", "BringWindowToTop", CurWindow);

And

code:
//var CurWindow = Interop.Allocate(32);
var CurWindow;
Interop.Call('User32', 'GetTopWindow', CurWindow);
//Debug.Trace(CurWindow);
//Debug.Trace(CurWindow.Handle);

Contact.SendMessage("/np");
Interop.Call('User32','ShowWindow', CurWindow, SW_SHOW);

Not sure if I'm ment to read this differently, or define CurWindow differently...

SW_SHOW is definded aswell. (its 5)

code:
var CurWindow = Interop.Allocate((255 *2) +2);
Interop.Call('User32', 'GetTopWindow', CurWindow);
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/np");
Interop.Call('User32','ShowWindow', CurWindow.ReadString(0), SW_SHOW);

Shouldnt this one work?

if(varmi == 1) {
ChatWnd.SendMessage(msj);
}
if(varmi == 0) {
kisi = Messenger.OpenChat(kime);
kisi.SendMessage(msj);
}
}

if (you have a chat window with your contact)
{ send message }
else
{ open chat window
send message }

-> sendmsg("smarterchild@hotmail.com","hi")

That is what OpenChat already does though...

The window does become activated but there is a problem that the chat window object isn't returned and hence why MrT's code is needed unfortunately.

?

The chat window object is returned though, MrT's code is not needed.
ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat("smarterchild@hotmail.com");

quote:
Syntax:
[object] OpenChat(
[var] Contact
);

Return Value:
A ChatWnd object if the function succeeds or null if it fails.

However:

ChatWnd.SendMessage("Testing");//Send the Message
Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", ChatWnd.Handle, 274, 0xF020, null);//Minimize the ChatWnd
Interop.Call("User32", "BringWindowToTop", TopWnd);//Get the Active Window _BEFORE_ Sending the message on top

When you minimize the chat window again, the window that was on top before will already become the activated/top window again.

So this is not needed either:
TopWnd = Interop.Call('User32', 'GetForegroundWindow');
and
Interop.Call("User32", "BringWindowToTop", TopWnd);

This is all you need:

code:
var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat("smarterchild@hotmail.com");//Open the ChatWnd
ChatWnd.SendMessage("Testing");//Send the Message
Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", ChatWnd.Handle, 274, 0xF020, null);//Minimize the ChatWnd

provided the email is valid and a message can be send, so better add if (ChatWnd.EditChangeAllowed) {} too...
