Aim Window Closer

[para]

I made a script to close aim windows when I am away for a while.

Somtimes aim(aol instant messanger) will freeze around 130-150 instant message windows. If I or friends are away for long enough, it gets that high and freezes. I made this so that I can stay online, and be able to check my logs to see what people said, but close instant message windows as they open.

I put my away message up and unhide messages.

When someone messages me, the autoit script will close the window after 2 seconds, giving it enough time for my away message to kick in.

SplashTextOn ( 'AIM Message Closer V1.0 - Para', 'AIM Message Closer V1.0 created by **** (******@****.***)', 200, 120,0,0 )

Do
AutoItSetOption ( "WinTitleMatchMode", 4 )
If WinExists("classname=AIM_IMessage") Then
  Sleep ( 2000 )
WinKill("classname=AIM_IMessage", "")
EndIf
Until WinExists ("FillerFiller123321123")

I made the Until WinExists ("FillerFiller123321123") part so that it will not close, i did not know how to loop it so that works fine.

-What I am asking is for is any help that anyone can give me making it so that it counts how many IM'S have been closed.

That way when coming back to the computer, it shows in the "SpashText" how many ims have been recieved and closed.

I would like to be able to stick it right under the rest of the text in there, the astriks are for my e-mail and name by the way.

If anyone can help me so that the script shows the amount of IMS recieved that would be great!

Thanks alot!

untested:

$counter = 0
$Title = 'AIM Message Closer V1.0 - Para'
$Msg = 'AIM Message Closer V1.0 created by **** (******@****.***)'
SplashTextOn($Title, $Msg, 200, 120, 0, 0)
Do
   AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
   If WinExists("classname=AIM_IMessage") Then
      Sleep(2000)
      WinKill("classname=AIM_IMessage", "")
      $counter = $counter = 1
      ControlSetText($Title, "", "Static1", $Msg & @LF & "Message closed:" & $counter)
   EndIf
Until WinExists("FillerFiller123321123")

Oops...typo ...

$counter = $counter = 1 is ofcourse wrong

must be: $counter = $counter + 1
