O.P. Keeping chat sessions open forever
Say I wanted to keep a chat session alive forever (don't ask why :chrongue:). How would I do that exactly? (-:

I obviously need to send some data to the remote contact every now and then. I managed to do this by sending some meaningless message. (Well, I made dt write the initial code. :$) That works great, but it's rather annoying to send random messages all the time. I want to send some other traffic that is less obtrusive.

The obvious solution is sending an artificial "user is typing" thingie. So I tried modifying "wnd.EditText" to simulate typing, but realized that it bypasses Messenger's keyboard input detection, and thus doesn't work. (I just found out that someone else has tried it too and failed.)

So what do I do? :cry: Any help will be much appreciated. (&)

Thanks! :zippy:

O.P. RE: Keeping chat sessions open forever
... So I managed to get this far:
code:
var hWnd = wnd.Handle;
var WM_CHAR = 0x102;
var dot = 0x2E;

Interop.Call("user32", "SendMessage", hWnd, WM_CHAR, dot, 0);
Does anyone happen know why it isn't doing anything? :'(
