does tab ($chr(9)) actually work in a list control (no MDX added)

Any $chr's should work in an mirc command. What exactly are you trying to do?

i'm trying to make two colums, the tab should make them line up like in the mdx listview, but i don't want to use the mdx view

i can't get the $chr(9) to work in the list control, so is there another way to make it look like it's in two colums? without using mdx

no, $chr(9) will only work if a dll is used, it will not work without 1. It will just appear as a square [representing $chr(9)]

well is there another dll that does that other than mdx?

there is a dll out that is similar to MDX but it only works on Windows XP and the creator put it out of commision long ago. What have you got against MDX anyways, it's really good once you know how to use it.

but what's this other dll called?

can't remember, but i would recommend using mdx. If you are stuck because you are using numbers, but it doesn't seems to show up, add $chr(160) to the front, then when you use $did() just remove $chr(160)

nah that's not my problem, actually it's not a problem, it's just an annoyance, always having to use $calc($did(1).sel + 1) when selecting a specific line, but i've worked around that now, but there was other things moving me away from mdx but i've worked around those aswell now so i am using mdx for my list

so thx anyway for your help

Just out of curiousity, what's the $calc snippet you mentioned for? I don't see a relevance to the "problem"

mdx takes up the first line, so when you want to select a line in the list it's always one more than the line in the txt file ya working from, and that was meant to be - 1 not + 1 in my last post
