I know there are another "Net Send" scripts but I used some new techniques not used elsewhere

so I share it to other users here.

It uses:

NET VIEW - to list active computers (in DropDown)

NET SEND - to send message

On recipient's computer must be running Messenger service.

It don't work on Win 9x/Me

In window title is shown name of computer and also description of computer in brackets if defined.

Application can be minimized to tray icon and restored by doubleclick.

I'm sorry for labels in Czech language. I'm too lazy to translate it to English.

If there will be big interest I can translate it to English.

EDIT: Now all translated to English :)

EDIT: New version with InitMessangerService() and MessangerIsRunning() check and statusbar showing whether Messenger service is running, when it's not running then try to start it

added also screenshot

Here is also script for check whether Messenger service is running:

#include "Constants.au3"

MsgBox(0,'Messanger',MessangerIsRunning())

Func MessangerIsRunning()
    $disp_name = RegRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger','DisplayName')

    $foo = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c net start', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

    $services = ''
    While 1
        $services &= StdoutRead($foo)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

    $services = DllCall('user32.dll','Int','OemToChar','str',$services ,'str','') ; translate from OEM to ANSI

    $services = StringSplit($services[2], @CRLF, 1)
    For $i = 1 To $services[0]
        $line = StringStripWS($services[$i],3) ; strip leading/trailing  white space
        
        If $line = $disp_name Then Return 1
    Next

    Return 0
EndFunc

Start Messenger service:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'Net start Messenger', "", @SW_HIDE)

Stop Messenger service:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'Net stop Messenger', "", @SW_HIDE)

now it just hangs when drop down is used..

i have to end process to stop.

When dropdown is opened script runs NET VIEW to get list of computers.

If NET VIEW is slow you must wait to dropdown finish its opening.

You can change script to make NET VIEW once at start of script (and not at opening dropdown)

but then you will be waiting at start and you will not have fresh computer list if you have running script for long time.

In my office network NET VIEW is very quick in most cases but sometimes it's very slow so I must wait too.

Here's a method to send messages without using Run, and you can even change the sender name that appears on the message (good for formatting the name of even kidding)

Hello,

I'm completely new with AutoIt... so please excuse my perhaps very much to dump questions...

I copied the code to the editor. Using "Tools", "Go (F5)" resulted to following error (I guess...)

$ed_message = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 68, 54, 280, 64, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_WANTRETURN))

$ed_message = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 68, 54, 280, 64, BitOR(^ ERROR

What has to be done to handle it?

And... is there a newer version available using msg.exe?
