hey qwerty sorry dude, everytime i go on expanding this code i screw up.
what im now doing is:
var %wf = dll $+(", dlls/WindowFx.dll, "), %Chan = $Mid($Dname, 5), %Dec = $!decode( $encode(%Chan,m) ,m)
then i do:
dll dlls/windowfx.dll SetPadding %Dec > 28 list
dll dlls/windowfx.dll SetChild %Dec > $Dname
which works fine.
but on the INIT of the dialog i do this
stats %Dec
alias stats {
echo -a $$1
}
which echos $decode(
it should echo the channel :S
