Forums mIRC Help /window -a question

I have a script that uses "/window -a windowname" to activate a window when a particular event occurs. However if mIRC is minimized, the /window -a command will cause mIRC to restore and come to the foreground. I would like to select the specified window ala /window -a, but have mIRC stay minimized if its not currently visible so that when I do restore mIRC, the selected window would be visible. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

No promises, but it looks like you need to add the n switch to the -a.


/help /window

Thanks for the suggestion, but if mIRC is already minimized, /window -an still pops it up out of the system tray and activates it. In my environment, all MDI channel windows are kept maximized within mIRC.

Another suggestion (not sure how I would test this, so I haven't), use -n in place of -a and add the following to a script

/window -x seems to work well, it'll maximize the window (activating it) but it won't cause mIRC to restore itself.

Thanks Jigsy, that works perfect!
