button "Part", 3, 48 8 37 12, result ok

link http://g00ber.com, 4, 16 32 46 8

}

}

on *:Dialog:click:test:*:{

if ($did == 2) { hop $chan }

if ($did == 3) { part }

}

Nice, small and simple for a new start - but clicking on "hop" dont do nudda

Did i miss a part?

Many thanks

Don't see the point in making a dialog to hop lol but whatever floats ya boat x, try hop $comchan($me,1) i didn't really look at the code so thats a guess..

on *:Dialog:click:test:*:{
if ($did == 2) { hop $chan }
if ($did == 3) { part }
}

Is wrong .. should be:

on *:Dialog:sclick:test:*:{
if ($did == 2) { hop $chan }
if ($did == 3) { part }
}

Missed the sclick.

and u would use $active...

but i also agree with Gazza. it's pointless.

might aswell just use ..

alias F1 { hop # }
alias F2 { part # }

even thought that is still pointless.

just that on click event i needed towork so i didnt paste a whole dialog to only correct one error...

would have been a bigger pointless post to do the whole dialog to only correct wut i could see as one error

Thanks for the help!

For future reference, you cannot use $chan on a dialog as it refers to a channel event. Instead, you will need to use an alias such as $active (referring to the active window, which is not necessarily a channel window) or $comchan. However, neither of these are completely flawless if you are in multiple channels. Instead, I would recommend creating a temporary hash table or variable containing the channel name that you wish to use; storing the channel name will ensure that you refer to the correct channel that you were referring to.

You can argue that using mIRC is pointless as you can just as easily use a webchat service or a web browser that has built-in IRC compatibility so essentially, all mIRC addons are pointless. However, the experience of using a programming language as simple as mIRC's coding can aid future learning of a different programming language, such as C++. In this instance, mr_s now knows that he cannot use $chan in a dialog.

actually if i remember there is a way you can use $chan

but you need to set the focus on the window or asosiate the dialog with it

something to do with having the chan widow as the parent

I don't recall a method myself but if you find one, please let me know.

You can do it that way if I'm not mistaken by using -a. You use it with -m when opening a dialog, as it sets the current window as the parent

dialog -ma id id

Something like that
