I wonder if there is a way my program communicate with mIRC, forcing it to execute a script command. I know about DLL support, but in this way mIRC call the DLL and using FindWindow() send message to my program (in that way works mircamp.dll), then my program return a value, and returning '3' (int) it passes to the remote script. What if my program need to execute script command? (for example, my program is closed in some time and need to notify the mirc about that).
