In order to talk to each other in our house, we have to yell at the top of your lungs. We invested a few hundred dollars in Radio Shack intercoms, but they make a lot of noise and don't work in all parts of the house. I just realized that most of us spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so I put together a really rudimentary instant messenger for the home network. (AIM was just too complex to use, and my kids would not use another commercial IM program). So here it is: Improvements are needed and welcome!

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <misc.au3>

dim $line, $varcomputer, $vartext, $indexoff 
dim $message = "", $v_dll = 'user32.dll'
Global $sender
$defaultuser = IniRead("c:\FH-IM.ini","FH-IM Settings","DefaultUser","Choose User")
MsgBox(4096,"Default user",$defaultuser)
GUICreate("FH-IM",180,180,100,100)
GUISetState()
$dad = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Dad",5,5,40,15)
$mom = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Mom",50,5,40,15)
$fam = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Family Room",95,5,85,15)
$kid1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("kidone",5,25,60,15)
$kid2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("kidtwo",65,25,60,15)
$evy = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Everyone",5,45,70,15)
$mess = GUICtrlCreateInput("",5,65,170,70,0x0004)
$send = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send",5,145,170,25)
$from = GUICtrlCreateCombo ($defaultuser, 110,41,65,11); create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Mom|Dad|Kid1|Kid2"); add other item snd set a new default
ControlFocus ( "FH-IM", "", 10 )

While 1         ; Wait for user to select checkboxes and then press the "Go" button to begin routines
    $msg = guigetmsg()
    Select
    
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE; If user closes the dialog box the program is ended
        Exit
   ; ExitLoop
;ControlFocus ( "FH-IM", "", 10 )

    Case $msg = $send      ; If user selects the Go button, all checked tasks will be run
   ;if _IsPressed("0d",$v_dll) then 
    $sender = GUICtrlRead(11)
    IniWrite("c:\FH-IM.ini","FH-IM Settings","DefaultUser",$sender)
        if(GuiCtrlRead($dad)  = 1) then 
            $to = "dadcomputer"
        EndIf
        if(GuiCtrlRead($mom)  = 1) then 
            $to = "momcomputer"
        EndIf
        if(GuiCtrlRead($fam)  = 1) then 
            $to = "familycomputer"
        EndIf
        if(GuiCtrlRead($tey)  = 1) then 
            $to = "kidone
        EndIf
        if(GuiCtrlRead($par)  = 1) then 
            $to = "kidtwo"
        EndIf
        if(GuiCtrlRead($evy)  = 1) then 
            $to = "*"
        EndIf
    ;MsgBox(4096,"$mess is: ",guictrlread($mess))
    ;msgbox(4096,"next is: ",StringInStr(guictrlread($mess),@CRLF,0,-1))
            if stringinstr(guictrlread($mess),@CRLF) <> 0 then 
                $message = $sender & "> " & stringright(guictrlread($mess),StringInStr(guictrlread($mess),@CRLF,0,-1)-1) & @CRLF
            Else 
                $message = guictrlread($mess) & @CRLF
            EndIf
    ;MsgBox(4096,"Message = :",$message)
        $pid = run(@comspec & ' /c ' & "net send " & $to & ' "' & $message & '"',@tempdir,@sw_hide,$stdout_child)
        While 1
            $line &= StdoutRead($pid)
            If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        Wend
        MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
        GUICtrlSetData(9,$message,"")
        $line = ""
    EndSelect
WEnd

Enjoy!

hey.... its cool that you want to change the names and variables..ie $Kid1 and kidone

but you should check the script first for errors... so i cleaned it up

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <misc.au3>

dim $line, $varcomputer, $vartext, $indexoff 
dim $message = "", $v_dll = 'user32.dll'

$mom = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Mom",50,5,40,15)
$fam = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Family Room",95,5,85,15)
$kid1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("kidone",5,25,60,15)
$kid2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("kidtwo",65,25,60,15)
$evy = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Everyone",5,45,70,15)
$mess = GUICtrlCreateInput("",5,65,170,70,0x0004)
$send = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send",5,145,170,25)
$from = GUICtrlCreateCombo ($defaultuser, 80,41,85,11); create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Mom|Dad|Kid1|Kid2"); add other item snd set a new default

Thanks Valuater-

I realized after I pasted my original code that I didn't want to show my kids names. I appreciate you doing a "touch up". I definitely plan to steal the way you populate the "TO" field from the "net view" command. Also, the way you make sure that messenger service is turned on is a great idea. I had to do it manually on all but one machine.

On your code, for some reason, the list of machines in there keeps duplicating itself. You have a command to delete b.txt, but it doesn't seem to work on my setup. (WinXP HE)

I'm also still trying to find the best way to have the script on one machine be "aware" of the script running on another. Right now, of course, the message is sent, but does not end up in the same window as the script... ;)
