AdiIRC

Videos is of course not possible, AdiIRC does not use a browser window for text, it's a custom made from scratch text view, but it does support gifs/images and emoticons.

You can add any image/gif to the buffer using the /inlineimage command, it's usable from plugins as well through the IWIndow.ExecuteCommand API.

Hope that helps.

I am sorry but I am having some troubles putting an image into the corresponding private message or channel message window. Can you help me please? Currently I try this (c#.net plugin):

private void PluginHost_OnPrivateNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.PrivateMessages.PrivateNormalMessageArgs argument) {
// ?? no idea how to do /inlineimage into the private windows i receive the text
// what i need: embedd a picture in the private message window where the massage was fired from
}

private void PluginHost_OnChannelNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.ChannelMessages.ChannelNormalMessageArgs argument) {
// this is always been embedded in the current active windows. So if i am in a private message and a channel message is received
// i get the picture embedded in the current active window
// what i need: embedd a picture in the channel message windows where the message was fired from
argument.Channel.ExecuteCommand("/inlineimage -a https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
}

You need to add the [window] parameter to the /inlineimage command instead of using "-a" for active window, in this case you want the [window] to be the channel name which you can get from ChannelNormalMessageArgs.Channel.Name.

Example:

private void PluginHost_OnChannelNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.ChannelMessages.ChannelNormalMessageArgs argument) {
argument.Channel.ExecuteCommand("/inlineimage " + argument.Channel.Name + " https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
}

Ah thx, that is working fine now! One last thing, is it possible to place the inline after the message? Because now it is always printing the image above the message.

I just realized there is no reference to the IPrivateWindow in the PrivateNormalMessageArgs, that is an oversight and I will fix that, currently checking if there is an alternative.

But for your use case, you should be able to use this for now.

private void PluginHost_OnPrivateNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.PrivateMessages.PrivateNormalMessageArgs argument) {
host.ActiveIWindow.ExecuteCommand("/inlineimage " + argument.User.Nick + " https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
}

The OnChannelNormalMessage is fired before the regular message is added to the text buffer, so your image is inserted before the message, there is an -iN parameter to insert at a specific line, but that wouldn't help in this case.

Maybe you could use a System.Windows.Forms.Timer to break free from the current event? E.g even if it set to trigger after 1 millisecond, it would allow adiirc to process the channel message before the timer triggers.

Here is what I came up with for getting the private window.

private void PluginHost_OnPrivateNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.PrivateMessages.PrivateNormalMessageArgs argument) {
    IPrivateWindow privateWindow = GetPrivateWindow(argument.User.Nick);
    if (privateWindow != null) {
        privateWindow.ExecuteCommand("/inlineimage " + argument.User.Nick + " https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
    }
}

private IPrivateWindow GetPrivateWindow(string nick)
{
    foreach (IWindow window in this.Host.GetWindows)
    {
        IPrivateWindow privateWindow = window as IPrivateWindow;
        if (privateWindow != null && privateWindow.Name == nick)
        {
            return privateWindow;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

My code at the moment is this and it is working fine (i am using a windows form to make use of begininvoke which should execute the inlineimage as soon as the process finished sending the message):

namespace Testplugin
{
    using AdiIRCAPIv2.Interfaces;

    using System;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Windows.Forms;

            }
        }

        public string PluginEmail
        {
            get
            {
                return "noreply@domain.tld";
            }
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {

        }

        public void Initialize(IPluginHost pluginHost)
        {
            _frm.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
            _frm.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(int.MinValue);
            _frm.ShowInTaskbar = false;
            _frm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
            _frm.Show();
            _frm.Hide();

            _host = pluginHost;

            pluginHost.OnChannelNormalMessage += PluginHost_OnChannelNormalMessage;
            pluginHost.OnPrivateNormalMessage += PluginHost_OnPrivateNormalMessage;
            pluginHost.OnMessageSent += PluginHost_OnMessageSent;
        }

        private void PluginHost_OnMessageSent(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.Contextless.MessageSentArgs argument)
        {
            _frm.BeginInvoke(new InvokeDelegate(SendInlineImage), argument.Target, "https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
        }

        private void PluginHost_OnPrivateNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.PrivateMessages.PrivateNormalMessageArgs argument)
        {
            _frm.BeginInvoke(new InvokeDelegate(SendInlineImage), argument.User.Nick, "https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
        }

        private void PluginHost_OnChannelNormalMessage(AdiIRCAPIv2.Arguments.ChannelMessages.ChannelNormalMessageArgs argument)
        {
            _frm.BeginInvoke(new InvokeDelegate(SendInlineImage), argument.Channel.Name, "https://www.google.de/logos/doodles/2018/world-cup-2018-day-25-5662299103690752.2-law.gif");
        }

        private void SendInlineImage(string name, string image)
        {
            _host.ActiveIWindow.ExecuteCommand(string.Format("inlineimage {0} {1}", name, image));
        }
    }
}

Oh yeah, great idea.

Btw I think you can get the mainform form using Form frm = (Form)Control.FromHandle(_host.MainWindowHandle);

Not sure if that makes a difference for invoking.

Don't know if this makes a difference but I try my solution now and if there is an error or something like that I try your last idea. But thx!
