Forums Scripts & Popups window nicklist width?

how do i get the width of the nicklist?

//echo -a $window(#).w gives me 1030 but thats including the nicklist right?

reason im asing is i need to resize my custom nicklists list box when the nicklist is resized etc

Seems to change as I change the size of the nicklist. Maybe you can play with that a bit - be interested to hear your results

when i did my Channel Splitter thing i needed this as well:
$calc($window($active).w - $iif($readini($mircdirmirc.ini,nicklist,$active),$calc($gettok($readini($mircdirmirc.ini,nicklist,$active),2,44) + 10),105))

Seemed to do the trick for me and most other people.Though i wouldn't put my life on it whether its a failsafe method or not. Especially since that 10 value is for the scrollbar and 105 seemed to be the default width for the nicklist on my PC.

This all reminds me I seriously need to update that thing lol.

Sais that seems 100% correct

//echo -a $Calc($Window(#).w - $Window(#).dw)

now i need some way of being able to set the nicklist width by code and increasing/decreasing the width of the nicklist automatically by code

is this even possible?

from memory "no" (with out a dll {not that i know of one to do it})

$mircdirmirc.ini isn't a reliable thing to use as someone could change the location of the mirc.ini used using the -i<file> commandline switch. I'd recommend using $mircini instead.

Yes i know, i meant that post as "At the time of doing this this seemed to do the trick"

the $mircdirmirc.ini was just one of the many reasons why i said "i seriously need to update this" :P
