Trap for nosy friends

[maniootek]

I live with my friends and I know that somebody reading my messages on GG (it's polish communicator). I know that because when I leave my laptop I see that somebody is writing to me (I see the flash on the minimized conversation window) ...

... and when I'm back it's not flashing anymore -> That's mean that somebody was activate the conversation window and read this.

Is it possible to make something like this:

When somebody will try activate window (click on this) it will do nothing (click will do nothing, because somebody could do it by acciden) BUT when somebody click on this again then play alert or something (nvm what, i will be fine after this)

Any suggestions to solve my problem?

Btw: why I don't see the "Posted Image" lol :S

They will stop flashing after a period of time... See the following example:

expandcollapse popup

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters= -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hwnd, $Flash, $Timeout, $btnFlash, $msg, $flashrate, $timeoutrate, $flashing = False
    $hwnd = GUICreate("Form1", 229, 170, 193, 125)
    $Flash = GUICtrlCreateInput("20", 80, 72, 121, 21)
    $Timeout = GUICtrlCreateInput("500", 80, 103, 121, 21)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please input the flash rate, and the time between flashes", 8, 24, 214, 41)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Flash Rate:", 16, 72, 58, 17)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Timeout (ms)", 16, 104, 64, 17)
    $btnFlash = GUICtrlCreateButton("Flash Window", 80, 136, 75, 25, 0)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    #EndRegion

    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $msg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $btnFlash
                If $flashing Then
                    _WinAPI_FlashWindowEx($hwnd, 0)
                    $flashing = False
                Else
                    $flashrate = GUICtrlRead($Flash)
                    $timeoutrate = GUICtrlRead($Timeout)
                    _WinAPI_FlashWindowEx($hwnd, 2, $flashrate, $timeoutrate)
                    GUICtrlSetData($btnFlash, "Stop Flashing")
                    $flashing = True
                EndIf
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

Is it possible to make something to do not let restore window from minimized state after one click but only after double click?

You are unable to lock your computer?

[maniootek]

you are not answering to my questions >_<

I can't lock my computer because I let my friends to use it. I don't want switch off my GG every time when I leave my computer for cigarette or sandwitch. Btw you are right, it will stop flashing but NOT LIGHTING. Any suggestions? :S

I think you are not listening either

Just do a WindowsKey+L every time you leave the computer and setup a Guest account for other to use. when you are away.

It won't get much simpler than using the build in support for it.
