Forums Scripts & Popups is there a command for

is there a command to move your channel bar (the switch bar that has the channels on it, on top bottom left or right

not sure if there is a way to do that or not but wondering if it could be done to have a command to move the channel switch bar on top of left or right.

Don't know if it's possible, but it would seem to me to be a rather 'rude' thing for a script to do, the placement of the switchbar is a personal preference.

There is no command for that, but read Hammer's reply to this post.

Edit:

Well, thanks to qwerty's excellent Sendkeys code, even that is possible:

Type /cbpos top|bottom|left|right

Note: since this code is based on the design of the Options dialog, it might not work correctly on other or future versions.

rude?
well to tell you what im trying to do is i have a switch bar that for it to be on the switch bar has to be on top,
i wanna make a script to turn it off
but, to let you choose where to put it,
and also if you want it on,
it will auto maticly put it on topso it will work.

actually
i went to the the page you gave me,
and i got the sniplet,
and put itnto there so its a real variable now,
but still cant get it to work

alias cbpos {
var %pos = $replace($$1,Bottom,0,Top,1,Left,2,Right,3)
sendkeys % $+ o{UP 40}{d 3}{TAB 9}{UP 3}{DOWN %pos $+ }~
}
alias sendkeys {
var %a = sendkeys $+ $ticks
.comopen %a WScript.Shell
if !$comerr {
var %b = $com(%a,SendKeys,3,bstr,$1-)
.comclose %a
return %b
}
return 0
}

online thats the message i get,

i didnt understand hammers bit,
couldnt get what he tried , but i dont understand it any ways

Hammer's code is a way of changing mirc.ini settings that should take effect in the next time you start mIRC, but I think using Sendkeys is more effecient, because it changes the position immediately.

Now that you have both sendkeys and cbpos aliases in your remote, try typing /cbpos bottom, for example, and see if it works.

If it doesn't, try another keystroke such as //sendkeys % $+ r, which should open the mIRC editor. if even this doesn't work, you probably have an old version of WSH (Windows script host, whose COM object is used), and you may get an upgrade (Win 9x/Win2000)

My post explained why you cannot just write to an ini file mIRC is currently using (usually - there are exceptions). qwerty's post explained how to force the keystrokes to make the change as if you had done it from the keyboard yourself.
