How to disable Steam Events?

[USCG Hammer]

I've just requested the members spamming the messages to post 1 message. We dont need to spam steam messages and lose people from the steam group because of it.

Hmm, I just had an idea that might do the trick, if you really want those messages to not show.

Unfortunatly, that idea would require some knowledge of scripting (read: programming) as well as some (basic) knowledge of the windows interiors (read: software architecture).
You could download a copy of a program called "Autohotkey". It features a quite powerful scripting interface. In fact, powerful enough, to manipulate specific windows.

Baseline:
If you know what HWND is, you've got a chance to get rid of the popup messages.
If not, hone your "mouse click on little X-buttons" skills

I've thrown together a little something. It's just a quick implementation, but it get's the job done.

1. Download autohotkey and install
2. create a new textfile and change its name to WHATEVER_YOU_WANT.ahk
3. copy-paste the script below into that textfile and save.
4. run the script (if everything went fine, you can do this by double-clicking the script file)
5. see how the Steam Messages automagically disappear

6. /JK: Send me a PM for information on where to send all your money

SetTitleMatchMode 2
WinGetClass, steamclass, Steam

Loop
{
	WinWait event ahk_class %steamclass%
	IfWinExist
	{
		WinKill
	}	
	Sleep 1000 ; 1 Second
}
return

If you want to know why/how this specific script does what it does, feel free to ask. If you want to know more about autohotkey in general, you'll find plenty of information on the site. You could ask me too, but I'd be just searching the site as well
