Forums Scripts & Popups Docking a dialog to under my nicklist

Hi, was just wondering how i docked a dialog to under my nicklist, i have seen some pretty cool screen shots of such things, but was wondering how i did that myself ?, have been searching the internet, some one suggested using MDX, but i haven't a clue about using it, altho i have been to the authors website and have the MDX.dll on my system, plus i have read the dox n stuff, i'm still stuck

Thanks

ok im alil confused ...... u did it and ur asking us how ..... or are u asking how one would go about doing it ..... just curious altho in either case i dont have a really good answer

what he is saying is that he did it, but he just dosnt know HOW he did it, and would like to know how he could do it. ( lol )

lol ok see thats what i was wondering by his post i wasnt quite sure whether he was tryin to report a bug with what he said or not??? like saying something was doing something on its own or something..... ok too many somethings there!

lol

Let me translate, I'm pretty sure that this is what he said:

Hi, was just wondering how I can dock a dialog under my nicklist. I have seen some screenshots of this being done, but was wondering how to do it? Someone suggested using MDX, but I haven't a clue about using it, although I have been to the authors’ website and have the MDX.dll on my system. I've been searching the internet, plus I read the docs and stuff, I’m still stuck.

Yeah:
a)the dox = the docs
b)n = and

That's COOL! How did you manage to translate?!?!
I don't mean to insult you, but i'm kidding. Listen to this to:
English is not my mother lang (I'm Greek), so i learnt it pretty good. The guy is using Past Simple to phrase a wish.
e.g:
I hope I made it :P

This is a post to all who just posted, i'm just replying to xrn0id, cos he's the last one here.

Umm yeah dox = documentation, yeah i shoulda made that more clear, but what i am trying to do was create a dialog with some buttons on it, that do stuff, such as ban and kick, but have it docked or made part of just under the nicklist,

Here is a screen shot of what i mean



In this picture, you will see my nicklist, and underneath that, is the dialog that i want "Docking to" Like i said i have read about MDX, and just cant firgure it out.

I guess I was wrong. The way he phrased it originally was a bit confusing. But now that he posted the screenshot it's pretty obvious that he already has this window docked. I guess he's trying to undock it?

I've never used this docking feature before so I don't know the answer to that question.

No, no , no

It's not docked yet, the screen shot just looks like that, as i am trying to get my point across, as to what i would like in the end result, i just edited the screen shot, to make smaller pic, if i actually took a screen shot of my whole mirc, then it would take up 1024x768 screen res, and i dunno bout u or not, but thats more than average for somebody with a 14" monitor, and 800x600 screen res (I have a 15" monitor, and like a big display)

All i need is a snippet of information as to how to actually get the dialog to be docked or whatever to under the nicklist.

I can still move that dialog about the screen, but i would like it at the side.

ok heres something i just threw together for u ..... this does work for me so hopefully its what ur looking for



hope thats what ur looking for ........

Well i would, if it woiuld work

I have copied and pasted the exact code you just gave me to my remotes and i get the error

* /dialog: 'newt' no such table

i tried it in my alias and i get

NEWT Unknown command

What the hell is going on ?????

OK, i got it working finally, but what i want is something like

This type of thing

You see that Control Panel in the screenshot, that is "Docking" and i think MDX.dll was used, but i dont know how to do it myself, the MDX documentation doesn't tell me, all i want is my buttons like that, but not not like the control panel in teh screen shot, i want to know what MDX code i need to do that with my buttons.

ShadowDemon

oh hell thats so far beyond my abilites i wont even begin to go there ...... lol i thought ya just wanted it to open in a certain spot on ur screen LoL sorry for misunderstanding ya totally

It's ok, it beyond me, but i wanna have a go, lol

ShadowDemon :tongue:

mdx? i would use ktools.dll, download that and read the documentation, its extremely helpful, i read it and was docking stuff all over the place!!

hope i helped

Hi, ok i already have KTools.dll, am reading the info on it now, it looks a bit complicated to me, but i'll have a go :tongue:
