I cannot seem to be able to get the correct id for opening a blank IM window. Can anyone help?

(I can place info into the username box, the content box & hit send I just need to open the window to begin with.)

AppActivate "ScreenName's Buddy List Window"
SendKeys "{ALT}+I"

I'm trying to figure out how to window a specific user's IM Window. So far I can only get their handle #, not the text of it.

Why are you even doing this to begin with?

I'm trying to make a command for my bot, i.e. `aim {person} {message}

I don't want to make an entire AIM client, just be able to send messages to AIM like Winamp.

It's not API, but it works.

To open a new IM window:
[code]
AppActivate "ScreenName's Buddy List Window"
SendKeys "%i", True
SendKeys "+{TAB}ScreenName{TAB}", True
SendKeys "Text To Send~", True
[/code]

To send a message in an existing window:
[code]
AppActivate "Screen Name - Instant Message"
SendKeys "Text To Send~", True
[/code]

To get someone's info:
[code]
AppActivate "Screen Name's Buddy List Window"
SendKeys "%o"
SendKeys "+{TAB}Screen Name~"
[/code]

It works!

you mean, for teaching you those SendKey functions?

Yes, I was just in my native language mode, I am a hickonite.

ahaha on the second picture you can see that the aim sn is o0oForgeDo0o. It says it where it says o0oForgeDo0o's Warning Level :0% .

Oops? Oh well, I at least tried, can't blame me for being tired & excited & 'minimalistic' all at the same time.

Minimalistic is a word a friend changed the meaning of, it now replaces rebundancy.
