Jeff,
In the following example taken from the msn messenger.jss file, you do a
check to see if the window you're in is the conversation window and if so,
it returns a True value (1), if not it will return false (0). This check is
used to determine whether or not you can read specific conversation threads
in msn messenger. In the case of reviewing message thread 1, you'd hit the
alt+1 key and it would read the last message written to the screen in the
conversation history window. Before it can execute this read, the script has
to determine if you're in a true conversation window.
Int Function IsInConversationWindow ()
var
string sRealName
let sRealName=GetWindowName(GetRealWindow(GetFocus()))
If StringContains(sRealName,wn_Conversation)
|| StringContains(sRealName,wn_MobileDevice) Then
Return TRUE ;The value 1
Else
Return FALSE ;The value 0
EndIf
EndFunction
HTH,
Kevin M.
