Ok, this is an easy question... though, I am guessing I won't get the answer I want. frown

Are there any up and down arrow "letters" that work in dialogs? I'm making up/down buttons for a list and I can't find any arrows that will display properly in a dialog. I need anything that will look at all like up and down arrows. I'd rather not use "up" and "dn".

And, using:

/\
\/

Looks bad because you see where the two slashes meet and they don't look like smooth slashes.

And, using:

^
V

Also looks bad because of the difference in size.

Have you tried webdings font with MDX like...

dll " $+ $scriptdirmdx.dll" SetFont 3 9 0 Webdings

there are some nice arrows with webdings


Code:
if $reality > $fiction { set %sanity Sane }
Else { echo -a *voices* }

I coded this snippet long ago when mIRC introduced scrollbars into dialogs.

It simulates an up-down without a buddy edit control.

Considering I only need arrows for two buttons and no other special controls, I don't want to use a DLL. smile

ClickHere, I'll check that out. I can't read your comments, but I can read the code, so I should be able to figure it out. Thanks.

*EDIT*
Thanks, I got it working. laugh
