Quick Q!

now i have seen this done before...

i have a nicklist docked (right) but the list size is wrong..

how do i make the list size the same as the mirc when i maximise

like in webchatz.koach.com2

its like something like

size $window(@ $+ $1).hwnd

list 2, 1 0 151 646, $windows(@ $+ $1).hwnd

but am not sure

any ideas!?

You'd have to set the width, and heigth coordinates to a variable instead of a preset value, such as

%nicksize. Then, you can use this code.

set %nicksize $dll(dlls\nicklist.dll,GetSize,$1-)

Here is a sample dialog.

alias ff {
  if (!%ff. [ $+ [ $1- ] ]) || (!$exists(%ff. [ $+ [ $1- ] ])) set %ff. [ $+ [ $1- ] ] $longfn($findfile($nofile($mircexe),$1-,1))
  return %ff. [ $+ [ $1- ] ]
}

dialog nick {
  title ""
  size 0 0 %nicksize
  option pixels
  list 1, 0 0 %nicksize, size
}

on *:JOIN:#: {
  if ($nick == $me) {
    set %nicksize $dll($ff(nicklist.dll),GetSize,$chan)
    dialog -m nick $+ $chan nick
  }
}

on *:dialog:nick*:init:*: {
  dll $ff(mdx.dll) SetMircVersion $version
  dll $ff(mdx.dll) MarkDialog $dname
  dll $ff(mdx.dll) SetDialog $dname style
  dll $ff(mdx.dll) SetControlMDX $dname 1 listview report showsel > $ff(views.mdx)
  dll $ff(nicklist.dll) Nicklist $dname $right($dname,-4)
}

no i lie lol its a notify list (docked left)

DCX's xdock kicks butt!! It has a switch to dock a dialog to your nicklist. After that you can easily resize it if the nicklist gets resized.

okkkkk...
