I know that you can do a CHGMSGQ on your user message queue to change it to *hold, versus notify. I don't know how to change your workstation message queue. I was hoping for some nice parameter in the device description or some such thing. That way you could combine them all into one message queue. And it would be nice if the iSeries Navigator customized the icon for itself at the bottom of your windows environment. If it added a mail icon overlay when you got a new message... I know they do this for the monitors you can configure in Management Central. Perhaps this is a good idea for a DCR? Frankly I don't often process my workstation messages. The user messages are ok. But those workstation messages often tend to be something shot out to everyone that never applies to me.

I posted a long ways back on getting notification of a message being sent to the user message queue (UMQ) and being able to delete a message from ALL of my display sessions. I have, and will continue to have, my UMQ set to DLVRY(*Notify); I refuse to have my session interrupted by a break message. DLVRY(*Hold), by itself, doesn't work since no session will display a notification. I am almost certain that I had this capability in some form when using some third-party emulation software years ago (maybe Netsoft-flavor-of-the-month?), say mid-90's. It seemed to me that the notification appeared NOT as an indicator at the bottom of the session but, rather, some indicator in the Windows system tray. This would make sense, because I could be looking at any session, or even none, and I could receive notification in the Windows system tray in the form of a flashing icon, bring up any session, display and delete the message - at this stage in my ramblings, I'm guessing that the UMQ was set to DLVRY(*Hold), which would allow a message to be deleted from any session. For this scenario to work, however, there would have to be a mechanism by which the AS/400 would have to send signals to the client PC; turn "on" the Windows system tray indicator whenever a new message arrived in the UMQ, and turn "off" the Windows system tray indicator whenever the user displays the UMQ (same as the 400 does now for the session having the UMQ allocated with DLVRY(*Notify)). Also, obviously, there must be some type of client side app that listens for these signals and controls the Windows system tray indicator. We are using IBM's Client Access, um, iSeries Access for Windows V5R2. I know that the Programmer's Toolkit exists, but I have not seen anything in there that addresses what I'm trying to do. OS/400 is at V5R2. Anybody done this? Or does anyone know that it can or cannot be done? TIA, GA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
