Someone mentioned this to me the other day, but said they don't remember where they saw it. Does anyone know of any programs or addons for mIRC that let you use drag and drop to add controls to dialogs? I've decided not to do my admin console in VB, but to use mIRC scripting. I'd originally chose VB because I like the drag and drop, but it was too complicated to set up the IRC connection. Thanks.

I've tried both Dialog Editor and Dialog Studio, and in my opinion, Dialog Studio is superior. You can get Dialog Studio here

Someone just gave me Dialog Editor shortly after I posted. I've designed my admin console with it, but maybe I'll also give Dialog Studio a try to see which I like better. Thanks.

I just wrote the design for my admin console in Dialog Editor, but I'm having a problem running the dialog. Another odd thing I noticed in the code is that one of the tabs is number 59 and I only have three or four tabs. I'm using "dialog -m admin admin" to start it and I'm getting "-L Unknown command" in the status window. Any ideas why? Here's the code:
Code:
dialog admin {
  title "Admin Console"
  size -1 -1 250 329
  option dbu
  tab "Nick Control", 1, 2 3 246 321
  tab "Channel Control", 2
  tab "Ban Control", 3
  tab "Bot Control", 59

I don't see a problem with that code. Maybe you have a dialog init event, try checking that part.

I don't have any events with it yet. I just wanted to load the dialog to see it. It works now and I'm not sure what fixed it. I reloaded the script file and used "dialog -m admin admin". Thanks for your help.

The reason your 4th tab is numbered 59, is because when you were creating the tabs & items on the tabs, when you went to create the 4th tab, 59 was the next unused ID number. As to your error, I don't have a clue, as I tried the dialog as you have it posted, and it worked fine (excluding the fact that I had to remark the icon item since I don't have that icon)

Ah, that's it. I forgot that I added the fourth tab after I had added all the controls on the first three. Thanks. Not sure why it wouldn't work, but it's OK now.
