treebar cmd - mIRC Discussion Forums

is there command that enables/disables treebar and switchbar ?

I don't think there is.

You can simulate a keystroke using COM objects, but you'll have to open up the mIRC menus to do that, so on slow computers there might be a slight flicker. Seems fine on mine though.

Code:

alias sendkeys {
  var %object = sendkeys $+ $ticks
  .comopen %object WScript.Shell
  if ($com(%object)) { .comclose %object $com(%object,SendKeys,3,bstr,$1-) }
}
alias toggletreebar { sendkeys % $+ vr }
alias toggletoolbar { sendkeys % $+ vt }

/toggletoolbar
/toggletreebar

An addition to hixxy's nice little work around for toggling treebar/toolbar here's one for the switchbar as you mentioned:

Code:

alias toggleswitchbar { sendkeys % $+ vs }

/toggletreebar

i respect your effort hixxy (always did :P)
but that code only opens view menu for me
and i wanted to know if theres way for directly
enableing/disableing treebar

like you did for menu, but so it just shows/hides :P

?

@SladeKraven: your alias works ok (shows/hides switchbar)

is it because i use 6.20 the trrebar thing by hixxy dont work ?

I believe in 6.2 there was a problem where the treebar and toolbar had the same accelerator key, so you might wish to try:

Code:

alias toggletoolbar { sendkeys % $+ vt{ENTER} }
alias toggletreebar { sendkeys % $+ vtt{ENTER} }

now i know why it dont work...

2 T shortcuts are in same menu...

Code:

alias toggletreebar { sendkeys % $+ vtt{ENTER} }

this still not working

my apoligoies hixxy.
it works

kinda weird behaviour of mirc...

for toolbar i just renamed alias to "tbar"
and for treebar "ttbar" and on /ttbar it didnt work
but when i rename it to anything else it works...

many thanks hixxy !

edit:
just a lil question, will this work on any win version ?

It should work on anything that has the windows script host installed, which most computers come with these days. Some antiviruses disable it but I find that COM scripts work for the majority of people.

have any idea would it work with winME and win2k ?

If it has the windows script host installed, yes.

btw, is there a way (mirc) or non mirc(hixxy ways)
to detect if treebar OR switchbar is already used by mirc
(at present moment)

?

Dcx.dll can do that

that was terrible answer...

It looked like a pretty accurate answer to me. You asked if something could be done, and Wims informed you that you can. In fact, he even gave you additional information (that you didn't request) by telling you what can be used to accomplish your task.

but dcx is for changing gui ...

Not exactly, it appear that some people believed this but dcx.dll include some other thing like docking, and it's this feature that allow you to know if menu/switch/tree/toolbar are visible or not :

$xdock(mIRC).isMenuBar
$xdock(mIRC).isSwitchBar
$xdock(mIRC).isTreeBar
$xdock(mIRC).isToolBar

see this page for more help : http://dcx.scriptsdb.org/xdock.htm

Yes, DCX is a great DLL for doing a lot of different things that cannot be done with mIRC scripting (or not as easily).

I agree completely, it's the single one dll that is really useful for mirc itself (other dll a great too, but generally doing only one thing that is specific to something else of mirc).
Another dll that doing great thing for mirc too is cwnd.dll (use API message) but help is only in french.
