Allow scripters to create a picture window with a scrollbar. This would be... beyond incredible. You've gotta think about this for a second and figure out why.

*hint* suppose someone actually needed a scrollbar because the drawfield had to be THAT long (vertically). What should they do? *hint* Drawing a scrollbar via mIRC and using various click detection methods takes longer than most people might think. I've tried it myself. Between drawing the scrollbar and drawing the updated picture window, it can take (visually) quite a bit of time. *hint* Dialog controls allow for scrollbars, but dialogs can't do picture window stuff, can they?

So basically, my suggestion is to create a switch that will allow a picture window to use a scrollbar. It would be a simple scrollbar that would have the same function as any other window's scrollbar. It would be EXTREMELY useful, in my opinion (has multiple specific uses in mind).

how about combining dialog functionability with picture window custimizability? (adding some more options to it along the way too maybe)

Yea, good idea. Would be 1 more switch in /window:

/window -yNM

if N = 0 remove scrollbar(s)
if N = 1 set scrollbar(s)
if M = 1 vertical scrollbar
if M = 2 horizontal scrollbar
if M = 3 vertical & horizontal scrollbar

example:
/window -y01- remove vertical scrollbar
/window -y11- set vertical scrollbar
/window -y03- remove both vertical & horizontal scrollbars
/window -y13- set vertical & horizontal scrollbars

cool
