Very simple MSN script

[Zompy]

My first real script, though, i think it's nice

HotKeySet("{F1}", "Mail")

HotKeySet("{F2}", "Pass")

Func Mail()

;Enter your mail under this

Send(" XX@XX.XX")

EndFunc

Func Pass()

;Enter your password under this

Send("XXXXXX")

EndFunc

Run ("C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")

Winwaitactive ("Windows Live Messenger")

Send ("{F1}")

Sleep ("10")

Send ("{TAB}")

Sleep ("10")

Send ("{F2}")

Sleep ("10")

Send ("{ENTER}")

Winwaitactive ("Windows Live Messenger")

What should this do in your oppinion ? sleep("10")

Also why set hotkeys and use a Send() in stead of sending the needed info directly?

It didn't work good without the sleep, so i give it a little sleep so it could TAB better.

The hotkeys, well, thats actually for when your using lonegr scripts, if i want to imporve this script later on

and it is getting better, it's more Handy to use that then to edit all the script.

Also if you use that multiple times you've got toe dit it multiple tims, now only Once.

Sleep() takes a number as parameter not a string. So you probably want to do something like Sleep(50)

As far as the HotKeys. I don't really understand what your explanation has to do with using hotkeys.

Just put the Emailaddress and password in a variable at the start of the script and use these variables in the Send() command further on in your script.

$Email = "XX@XX.XX"
$password = "XXXXXX"
;
Run ("C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")
Winwaitactive ("Windows Live Messenger")
Send ($Email)
Sleep (50)
Send ("{TAB}")
Sleep (50)
Send ($password)
Sleep (50)
Send ("{ENTER}")
;

Ideally you would use Control() commands to enter the information in the login screen.

When i did that, it tried logging on with the mail $email

So then i came up with this idea...

[CodyBarrett]

just a hint for future reference YOU MIGHT get a better and nicer response to your scripts if you used

Example

for your code.... and nice manipulation, but where is the WHILE WEND..... and good luck making it better!

EDIT

saw your winwait() sorry never mind the while wend!

... are you telling me I wasn't nice enough in my responses or they were not good? Edited March 21, 2009 by Jos

[CodyBarrett]

haha nope.. just that sometimes people get annoyed with the lack of proper code brackets.. there are quit afew posts where ive seen people yelling at the new scripters... i thought i would give a hint

[Zompy]

Ok, thanks, i might be looking into GUI now, heared what it is aan seemed intresting

[corgano]

heres an idea

use controlclick(). it helps reduse problems. its simple enought to get the control ID useing "autoit window info.exe"

also included the hotkey, don't really need it tho. F2

hotkeyset("{F2}","imafoo")

Global $Email = "XX@XX.XX"
Global $password = "XXXXXX"

func imafoo()
Run ("C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe")
Winwaitactive ("Windows Live Messenger")
controlclick("","",<ID NUMBER>);get id of email box
Send ($Email)
Sleep (50)
controlclick("","",<ID NUMBER>);get id of password box
Send ($password)
Sleep (50)
controlclick("","",<ID NUMBER>);get id of login button
exit
endfunc

No offense, but there's nothing simple about WLM controls... There a few object oriented functions that could do the job better though, I've been doing a little testing myself...

99% of your control classes are going to return "DirectUIHWND" with an irrelevant ControlID... I say Irrelevant because the "DirectUIHWND" isn't going to give you anything better than a Control that covers the entire Messenger window... . Making a specific controlclick() or other control related task somewhat difficult...

Some work for WLM, and some don't... After looking at MSDN for literally hours, among other resources, I did manage to find an 'AutoSignin' function, as well as a 'Signin', but I've not had the chance to test them...

How does this controlclick work? and the script you posted doesn't work for me

As shown in your first post you are using "Windows Live Messenger". As I stated above, control clicks aren't going to help you with WLM unless you use coordinates, if your going to use Coordinates you might as well use 'MouseClick()' because your not going to be able to set the text using Control Commands.

If your doing this on a personal level, you can try something like this...

ControlClick("Windows Live Messenger","","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND]","Primary",1,247,240)oÝ÷ Ù8Z·
+Çè¬Æ¢Ýv­zÆî·¥j+zØZX¤z§¢Ü(®Gè¯*.jÂ7ök.­ì«Þv'ßz·§¶Ç+yéëzÊ%ºØ¨Æ§uØ}êÞÚÞ«b½ç(¢·b«^±Û¶b}÷«zw²)躹²Ç§êìþØ^ë?z×¢¹¶¡×nÞrXËazë®v¦yøÚ'1ë,zx­6¤x*+©èßÛvø¬y©Ý$jÚ®¢Ð.¶-Z)Ý£'~®¢Ûh¢[ajܲ)Üç^Â+aÊ«ëh"ا²Ö¥«b¢r-Â)emæ ­æ­éijëh×6ShellExecute(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.chm")
Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Au3Info.exe")

This is some powerful code, try running it if you get into any trouble...
