Resizable nicklist

The Gate Keeper got me interrested in making a resizable nicklist. I did a little studying in the mdx help file as well as nicklist.dll help file, and came up with this code...

dialog nick {
 title ""
 size 0 0 402 372
 option dbu
 list 1, 0 18 79 279, sort size extsel
 list 3, 0 8 79 11, size
 text "", 13, -1 0 95 9, center
 list 2, 0 297 79 11, size
}

This code works when you move the nicklist. However, I also want it to automatically resize when the nicklist initializes. Is there a way to be able to do this?

lol, you looked at my file enough didn't you . Anyways, look at it again, and look under positioner in the MDX help file. But working out how to get the sizes 100% correct will be your hardest part, i couldn't work it out mathematically but i managed to get mine to work properly. Just see how mine is done.

No, I didn't look at the file you had, lol. I looked at a couple of websites for help.

Anyway, the positions were some problems, lol. I did get them fixed, and they are working fine. I just wanted to know how to make it to where they will position automatically when the nicklist is initialised? Right now whenever you move the nicklist, or resize the window in any way the nicklist will also resize. However, it doesn't resize when the nicklist first initializes after joining a channel.
