Forums Scripts & Popups Minimize mIRC using on join?

On one particular channel I frequent I open the channel on the desktop and then minimize mIRC to the tray.

Is there any command I can add to an on join script that will minimize mIRC when the channel is joined?

Thanks!

/join -n #Channel

The -n switch minimizes the channel when you join.

Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood what I want to do; sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

When I join the channel I have the channel window maximized on the desktop and then I minimize the rest of mIRC to the tray.

I want to write a script that when I join the channel (which is set to open maximized on the desktop) the rest of mIRC will automatically minimize to the tray (leaving the maximized channel window visible).

Do you mean this?

Yes! That's exactly what I want to do! Thank you!

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. If I type /showmirc -t in a window it works fine but it doesn't want to work from a script.

However, I tried it on a default install of mIRC and it worked fine so I guess one of my other scripts must be messing it up somehow.

I guess I have some debugging to do

You probably have some other On Join events triggering when you join which is probably what is throwing it off.

That's undoubtedly it, but I got up early today, had a long bad day at work and then a few too many drinks after work so I think I'll tackle this with a fresh mind tomorrow.

Thanks again!
