Description

Returns an array of all the chat sessions which are currently connected. You can then use various "chat" routines to do something with that list.

Note: Available in version 3.37 onwards.
VBscript example 
dim chatList

chatList = GetChatList

If Not IsEmpty (chatList) then

  For Each c In chatList
    Note c & " = " & GetChatInfo (c, 2)
  Next

End If
Jscript example 
chatList = new VBArray(GetChatList()).toArray();

if (chatList)  // if not empty
 for (i = 0; i < chatList.length; i++)
   world.note(chatList [i] + " = " + GetChatInfo (chatList [i], 2));
PerlScript example 
foreach $item (Win32::OLE::in ($world->GetChatList))
 {
 Note($item . " = " . GetChatInfo ($item, 2));
 }
Python example 
chatList = world.GetChatList
if (chatList ):
  for c in chatList : world.Note (str (c) + " = " + 
              world.GetChatInfo (c, 2))
Lua example 
for k, v in pairs (GetChatList ()) do 
  Note (v) 
end
Returns If there are no chat sessions then the return value is empty. Use "IsEmpty" to test for this possibility.

Otherwise, it returns a variant array containing the IDs of all the chat sessions. Use "ubound" to find the number of chat sessions in the list. You can then use "GetChatInfo" to find details about each session. See the example for how to do this. You can paste this example into an "Immediate" window (CTRL+I) to test it.
Introduced in version 3.37
