Mark a message as (read or seen) about td

[JaEdmuva]

I have been using all three methods (open, close and viewMessages WITH force read option True) but it won't always work. Is there a way to effectively mark messages as read for sure?

Update: I got the reason why the openChat - viewMessages - closeChat is not reliable.

To mark message as read in a reliable way, you must only openChat. You MUST NOT closeChat.

In my program, I have another timer thread. It calls openChat and viewMessages once a second. After 10 seconds, it calls closeChat.
You must keep the chat "opened" as long as possible, to make it reliable.

To achieve this you need to call OpenChat/CloseChat when chats are opening/closed by the user and call ViewMessages whenever a message is shown to the user. The library will figure out which messages should be read itself. Messages are read only if they are shown in currently opened chat, but if you definitely need to read messages in a closed chat, you may use force_read parameter of ViewMessages method.

This method does not work, the "viewMessages" method works

@recolic

Are you sending openChat and viewMessages for each chat received?

I am creating an anti-spam bot, so I do it for every chat unless it's whitelisted. You need to do that basing on your need.

If you want to mark a message as read, you need to open that chat (and keep it opened for a while)

This is my code, for your reference.
