Untested, but should work from what I can tell.

Spunky what is ChatWnds.count? (Note I am pointing out that it doesn't exist )

quote:

Originally posted by scripting docs
ChatWnds::Count
The ChatWnds::Count property returns the count of ChatWnds contained by this object.

Syntax
This is a read-only property.
[number] Count;
Data Type
A number with a minimum value of 0.

Remarks
The count should not be stored for later use and always requested from the object when needed.

Property Information
Object ChatWnds
Availability Messenger Plus! Live 4.00

So it should be ChatWnds.Count ?

Yes but ChatWnds is not declared. It is

Javascript code:

---

Messenger.CurrentChats.Count;

I thought it looked a bit wrong when I did it, but looking in the contacts section of the help file (it's been a while) gave me contacts.count. Maybe it should be explained a bit clearer for people.

Updated original post

Maybe, but I find it clear enough as it is though.

ChatWnds is just a name for the type of the object, it is not the object's assigned name.  This is btw exact the same with 'Contacts', and some other objects like the 'DataBloc' object, 'Emoticon' object, 'Emoticons' object, ... The phraeses are also all the same:

quote:

---

The ChatWnds Object
The ChatWnds object is used to iterate a list of chat windows returned by a function of the API such as Messenger::CurrentChats.

The Contacts Object
The Contacts object is used to iterate a list of contacts returned by a function of the API such as Messenger::MyContacts or ChatWnd::Contacts.

The DataBloc Object
The DataBloc object represents a memory block created by Interop.Allocate.

This is different than global objects. Which are also described just like that. eg:

quote:

---

The MsgPlus Object
The MsgPlus object is a global object that gives access to various properties and functions related to Messenger Plus!.

---

The scripting docs were never meant to explain the difference between local and global objects/variables, and the difference between types and names though. It is supposed you have a basic knowledge of scripting.

It could use some very basic examples for each object/property though. Maybe that would take away some of the confusion...

thank you guys

but i want to know how to use it

---

can you make it like a script file plz

---

thank you so much Spunky

it is worked now

but I also want

when i close the conversation
return status online

As soon as you have closed all open conversations, the script will already set your status to what it was before you opened the conversations.

I've tested  this script but my status stil buzy when i closed conversation
