Maximize the first status window and then save the position of that window.

This is not a script related question.

However:

Maximize Status Window
->
Right-Click on the Status Tab
->
GoTo Position Menu
->
Click Save

Now they will always stay maximized unless YOU click the Restore-Down Button

I did this, while having other statuses open as well

I restarted mirc and all the statuses are non-maximized

I have an on start script to autoconnect to my servers and channels

is this a problem?

Sounds like another one of those pesky little magic bugs.

well, why restart your mirc when you can minimize it in tray? Set the windows in their maximized state and every time you click on mirc, they pop up the way you want them to be. Of course, you gotta reposition them when you have your PC rebooted.

Well I don't know what your malfunction is, but I just did a clean mIRC 6.3 install and at first run, I maximized the only open status window, then saved its position and restarted mIRC. Guess what happened, every window I opened after that (chans, queries, custom etc) was maximized inside the main window. Go figure.

on *:START:window -x "status window"

Put that at the beginning of your first remotes file. Problem solved (as long as another command isn't un-maximixing the windows later).

Lol, this sounds so so so much similar to a M$ 'solution'

generic reply:

I had a similar problem, and ended up using an on start script

Code:
on 1:start: {
  server servername port
  showmirc -x 
/*
Maximizes the Status window (making all others maximized)
*/
  showmirc -m
/*
Minimizes mIRC to the tray
*/
}



mIRC6.21
Windows XP SP2

for what it's worth ...

I have this script

Code:
on 1:start: { 
  /s server1 -j #channel1,#channel2
  /s -m server2 -j #channel1,#channel3 
}


can I use your script seperately? or I have to combine them?

thanks

Just combine them...

Code:

on *:START: {
  window -x "Status Window"
  showmirc -m
  s server1 -j #channel1,#channel2
  s -m server2 -j #channel1,#channel3
}

You can only have one onSTART event per script file. Put each of those scripts in its own file.
