What it the equivelant to using the pull-down DATA -> CHAT WINDOW... in Aspect script?

menuselect PWMENU 292 in your script will activate the Data | Chat Window menu item.

Unbelievable!! I searched and searched and was sure it couldn't be done. This was my last resort. I shoulda come here first. THANK YOU!

FYI for anyone who is interested, you can find the menu information in pw5menu.inc, located in the ASPECT directory. Some of the FTP entries aren't correct, but I have the right values on my site.

Using Aspect Script, how do I write to the Chat Window? (I suppose DDE is required if i really want control of what's happening?) Thank you. -k

Your script would need to use winactivate $CHATWIN to ensure that the chat window had focus, then could use sendkeystr to send text to the chat window. Here is a quick example:

proc main
if $CHATWIN != 0
winactivate $CHATWIN
sendkeystr "test"
endif
endproc

Thank you knob.

Is it possible (easy) to paste the contents of the clipboard to the chat window?

Regards, -k

Here is how you could paste text to the chat window (basically just sending a Ctrl-V):

proc main
if $CHATWIN != 0
winactivate $CHATWIN
sendkey CTRL 'V'
endif
endproc
