Using control send on windows live messenger

[Matthy]

Hi i want to make a sort of a bot for WLM,

But the normal controlsend wont work

Example:

There is someone in WLM with the window active called "Joop" I do:

ControlClick("Joop","","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:2]","Left",1,322,507)
ControlSend("Joop","","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:2]","Hi Joop")

this doesn't work however when I do this

WinActivate("Joop","")
ControlClick("Joop","","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:2]","Left",1,322,507)
ControlSend("Joop","","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:2]","Hi Joop")

it does work however now its activated what i dont want.

there is a problem with the window the whole msn talk window is one window so no extra control to type in thats why i tried the contolClick on the coordinates of the typing screen without succ6

this is the summary.

>>>> StatusBar <<<<

>>>> Visible Text <<<<


>>>> Hidden Text <<<<
CVoiceVideoAvatarHostWindow

does anyone know how to get something in that textfield without activating it (so it can run on background) and using a lame function like send.

Thanks

I encountered this kind problem many times.

Some application would work and some wouldn't.

Anyway, I think the key is that you keep trying.

Try with

WinWait/WinWaitActive

WinGetHandle

WinSetState

ControlSend/ControlClick

I don't guarantee it would work 100%, but like I said, this kind of problem you should try for your self.

Put simply, the WLM interface does not play well with AutoIt.

Back when I was trying to figure this out, I come to the conclusion that the best way would be using a different Messenger client that AutoIt did play nicely with... Just off the top of my head, "PixaMSN" was the last one I was playing with, the interfaces can be easily read and interacted with.

There is also a MSN UDF on the forums that I used for a while, it was hit and miss on some machines... Not sure why.

thanks all but i am afraid mrmacadamia what you said wont work

for BinaryBrother its one step closer to my succes. the only problem still is that I am stuck with that messenger and would love to use the normal WLM for non bot functions. I dont know is it possible to be logged on twice with a different messenger on the same location?

if so you can hide that messenger and is it as bot only while still using the normal messenger.

Thanks

I had the MSN UDF working with my old script at one point. Both these should get you started messing with MSN in a 'dirty' way...
