Hi,
I used to use the PIRCH IRC client, and recently installed the mIRC client.
In PIRCH, when you clicked on someone's name to chat to them, a WHOIS was automatically performed as the private chat window opened, and the results were displayed in the main window. Is there any way to do this automatically in mIRC?
At the moment I have to right-click>WHOIS to get this info. I've looked through the options, but can't find anything.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Yes can be done in mirc here is where to find it on mirc 6.16
Alt-o to get the options then select IRC from the tree look at the little chack boxes and select the 7th one down (whois on query)

Hope that helps

Options (alt+o) > Mouse > In the 'Nick List' box add the following line..
whois $$1 | query $$1

Then just double-click on a nick in the nick list.

copericus What you suggested works when someone messages you.

Thanks Copericus and JoeDaddy for your answers.
JoeDaddy: I couldn't get your method to work. Can you confirm the entry you wrote? (whois $$1 | query $$1 )

Well, that should indeed work, you would find the whois output either in status window, or (if you have 'Show whois in active' checked in Options|IRC) in the channel you clicked the nick.

If you do have "Show whois in active" selected, this entry (in Options / Mouse / Nicklist) would put the output to the query window
  • query $$1 | .timer 1 0 editbox -n $1 /whois $1

Thanks, that second string seems to work now.
