I would like to see a switch to make the titlebar of a dialog dissappear (so... a dialog window without a titlebar :P ). It would be good for making tooltips and having the tooltip follow the mouse while the mouse is still withing the $did. I tried doing what i did with /window but using /dialog and there was no "drawing effect" (described in "/windows -o bug") but it was always behind the dialog that i wanted to mak the tool tip FOR. And I would prefer to not make it "-do" ... i don't want to see the taskbar button. Or maybe some other kind of low memory special window (like... /tooltip ) so that tooltips can be made (static or following the mouse) without drawing effects or -o problems. Hope to see someting to that effect in the next release TheArkive

dialog -a is already taken
you can use -v to activate the dialog

this is something i cooked up for some1 a while ago might help you too.

Code:

on *:dialog:mp3:sclick:1:{
  if ($did == 1) {
    ;setting the width to the text of the id if there is text if not it will set it to default 200
    var %width = $iif($did(1,$did(1).sel),$width($did(1,$did(1).sel),tahoma,10),200)
    window -pBdo +d @@ $calc($mouse.dx +2) $calc($mouse.dy +2) %width 20
    clear @@    
    drawrect -nr @@ $rgb(0,0,0) 1 0 0 %width 20
    if ($did($dname,1).seltext != $null) drawtext -pnr @@ 0 tahoma 10 7 3  4.::2 $gettok($did($dname,1).seltext,6,32) 4::. $chr(160) Size : $gettok($did($dname,1).seltext,-2,32) mb
    if ($did($dname,1).seltext == $null) drawtext -pnr @@ 0 tahoma 10 10 3 No Such song in playlist
    drawdot @@
    dialog -v mp3 mp3

  }
}

on *:dialog:mp3:mouse:*:{
  if ($did != 1) window -c @@ 
}

this uses on click in alist but you can use the same principle for on mouse on a control

$maybe

I haddn't though t about making it "on click" ... although I did try "on rclick" ... not too easy in a dialog's edit box or a combo box ... Oh and just to clarify, I knew that -a was taken :tongue: ... I just meant to use it to keep the "tooltip dialog" on top ... although shortly after I posted that msg i tried clicking on the parent dialog and ... low and behold... the tooldip went down under ... again... But thanks though, I can defenantly use that idea ... much appreciated ... TheArkive
