Hello!

There's a bug with the Hiding and Showing. When you press Ctrl+Alt+Space with the Settings/About GUIs open, only the Main GUI gets hidden. Try hiding the indivual GUIs.

[AoRaToS]

That isn't supposed to happen, I'd fixed that ages ago, can you try again?

JackDinn can you check that out?

[AoRaToS]

s!mpL3 LAN Messenger version 2.9.6.5

1. Added "Sounds" in the settings, you can choose what sounds to play (.wav, .mp3) when receiving text, shakes e.t.c.

2. When you click on "Path:" in all Sound sections the selected sound will play.

3. Added command line switches. Only one at the moment, /as will pop-up message windows and play sounds when hidden. (requested by JackDinn)

4. Clean Up is back, in the Maintenance tab.

5. Fixed a few bugs.

1. Message box bug found by (JackDinn). Fixed so that the message boxes don't show when hidden and also added the program name in the title.

2. Focus bug. When hidden and you received something, the hidden window would take focus from the window you were working on.

3. Other, less important bug fixes.

Sure NP AoRaToS

So iv just checked it (ver 2.9.6.4) with :-

• settings slider open :- hides all fine
• settings slider open on each tab :- hides all fine
• About GUI open :- hides all fine
• settings & about open :- hides all fine

Iv only tested on XPpsp3 i really couldn't be bothered to start up my VM's to see if its ok on other OS's.

I can not reproduce BoonPek's error.

Thx for the update AoRaToS, im just about to DL and see how we go, i shall let you know.

Nice work

[AoRaToS]

Great!

thanks for testing!

I can't reproduce on Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit)

What OS are you using BoonPek? Maybe update to the latest version and try again...

Hope the updates fit your needs! (try the switch also /as)

[JackDinn]

just out of curiosity what does the "as" in the switch /as stand for ? anything particular.

I don't know why this happens to me. I tested this on Windows XP x86 SP3/SP2 Professional, Windows Vista Business/Home Premium x86 SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x86/Home Premium x64 and they all produced the same results.

This bug only happens when you are not connected. While connected, all GUIs hide and show properly. I've tested this software on more than 20 computers, and all of them seem to have this bug.

[JackDinn]

yea hes right , now he said its when its not connected it can be reproduced

In actual fact when i tested it, i disconnected , opened the settings & hit Ctrl+Alt+Space my comp froze for about 30 secs and then came back to life. It then hid the main window and yes it left behind the settings and about boxes.

[BoonPek]

I think it would be better to make buttons in the "Sounds" tab to check/uncheck all as there are quite a lot of checkboxes. Also, the About box moves in relation to the main GUI.

Yea but then you couldn't easily turn on/off individual sounds, maybe and another button "check/uncheck" all

Also, the About box moves in relation to the main GUI.

maybe AoRaToS will sort that maybe not , its not really something that's gonna bother anyone im sure :-/

[BoonPek]

There may be a workaround for your problem that occurs while shaking. You could use the options "Opt("GUIEventOptions", 1)" and "Opt("GUIEventOptions", 0)" to disable the Minimize, Maximize and close buttons during that period.

Opt("GUIEventOptions", 1)

;Shake Starts
;Shake Ends

Opt("GUIEventOptions", 0)

As for smileys, I could think of no other way than to make the recieve box a HTML page so you can put images by the <img> tag.

Thanks for being more specific BoonPek, and for finding and reporting the bug!

I fixed it.

About the sounds, I'll see what I can do later tonight about something that controls all checkboxes.

You'll be able to Update in a bit!

Also a big thanks to JackDinn for helping out quite a few times

P.S. (You use the messenger on so many computers?)

s!mpL3 LAN Messenger version 2.9.6.6

1. Fixed hide bug, when disconnected About GUI and Settings GUI didn't hide. (reported by BoonPek)

2. Fixed the bug with the minimize button when shaking. (thanks BoonPek)

3. Changed About GUI so it doesn't move relatively to the main GUI.

Yes, both in school and in work. In school, between my friends and I. At home, my brother and at work, with some staff members.]

As for Transparency, you could use the function "WinSetTrans" together with a slider "GUICtrlCreateSlider" for controlling the percentage of transparency.

"WinSetTrans" works in values from 0 (Transparent) to 255 (Opaque), and by default the Slider starts from 0 to 100. So we need to either convert the 0-100 as a percentage of 255, or use the "GUICtrlSetLimit($Slider, 255, 0)

Good to know you use it allot, it means it's usefull!

I know that about transparency, I'm just not sure yet if it's needed or not, I don't want to add stuff that might be useless...The notifications could look allot nicer and I can work on that... The GUI in general needs a nicer look

[JackDinn]

Hi,

Still using it and its doing its job well, no problems.

The GUI in general needs a nicer look

well like you said, get it functionally accurate first then play with the look and feel. Scripting is a never ending job/hobby

Many thx for such a useful app AoRaToS.

JackDinn.

[AoRaToS]

Any requests?

There is a pending "sound on/off"

[SYRAU3]

Nice!!! thank you so much!!

[twitchyliquid64]

I really like it! Is that running UpNP detection?

Also, is your program capable of talking to users it's not connected to?

That is, can you be connected to 3 people, but use them to talk to someone that their connected to? AKA: Route: User3 -> User1 -> User 5? (small world network)?
