Forums Scripts & Popups Window problem?

Hi all,

im not sure if this is a bug with the latest version, or if the way the command has executed has changed with the new version, but I have a connection info window showing various stats such has hostname, server i've connected to etc.

Now in the old version it worked perfectly, til I upgraded to 6.2. It appears that the new version isn't clearing the window and so the window is getting blurred as the idle time and systime time carry on. Prehaps the window isn't clearing before posting new data like it used to in 6.1?

/drawrect -f @Infowindow 1 1 0 456 720 20
/drawtext -p @Infowindow 1,1 Arial 11 1 0 1,1 4,1Time:9,1 $time 12-=4**12=-4 Idle:13 $duration($idle)


is part of the alias. As i say, used to work fine in 6.1 but since upgrading to 6.2 after about 20 seconds, as the window isn't clearing like it did, the txt just becomes a blur as the txt is being written overtop of itself.


Possibly a bug? what are your thoughts?

I havent tried it, but you can use drawfill instead of drawrect -f

anyone got any ideas? Just looking at it now its like a multi coloured blur. lol.

Alright, out of all the scripting stuff in mIRC that I know by heart, @windows is not one of them.

However, I have achieved your desired effect.

Your previous commands are doing a couple things wrong. The largest flaw is the fact that you're drawing a rectangle almost the entire way down the window, instead of at the top where the text should occur.

Here's an example of how it should be:

oh wow, thanks team. Had to extend the rect so all the code would fit in, but it works perfectly now. Thankyou VERY much. It's a handy little bar, am not sure where it came from, but I think i modified someone elses code to display what I wanted, it was a long time ago so can't remember, don't really support pinching someones code, but I found it so handy that I couldn't help myself. (I think it's handy anyway)


Still am not sure why it went sour after upgrading (worked fine before) but am happy now it's working right. Thanks again to those that replied
