i search for it, i think there wars an way but.. anyway. it would be nice if we could change the name of an existing instance of a Dialog. example:
dialog test {
title "test"
size -1 -1 100 100
option dbu
button "test", 1, 2 2 30 30, cancel
}
alias test {
if ($1) {
dialog $+(test.,$1) test
}
}
on *:something_happend:{
// here is an reason to rename the dialog
}
i think, a well known way to create multiple instances of an dialog, is just to add an $nick or $chan to the dialog name. But for instance, you named it with an $nick. What if $nick changes his nick and you try to find the dialog with $dialog($+(test.,$nick)). You didn't find anythink. My Suggestion: someting like /renwin for dialogs.

maybe i open an $nick related Dialog and it would be nice if i could open more then one of those dialogs (for different nicks). So i easily add the $nick into the $dname. This way i'm able to open near by N dialogs of the same table. But when $nick changes his nick to $newnick the $dname loss his "connection" to $nick. Of cause, i could set global variables with /set %$dname and fill it with $nick, but i'm not a real fan of global variables. Btw, why would you rename an /window if you're able to retitle it?

I think that people who don't see the purpose of this feature should probably skip over this discussion rather than add extra noise for those who *do* see the purpose.
I personally think this would be a decent idea, if there's a renwin, I don't see why there can't be a rendialog

Dunno if you can have dynamic dialogs when doing dialog name { } You could try something like
noop $read($script,w,dialog $dname *)
write -l $+ $readn $script dialog [u]newname[/u]
dialog -m newname newname
write -l $+ $readn $script dialog $dname Though I highly doubt it would work =P

He's not talking about changing the name of the dialog table in the script. He's talking about a command to rename the dialog after it has been created. Maybe a switch could be added to the /dialog command to rename the dialog... /dialog -T <oldname> <newname> Like foshizzle suggested, but with a cap T.

Btw, why would you rename an /window if you're able to retitle it? /dialog -m Name Dialog Means dialog new_table {
title "ZOMG"
size -1 -1 101 83
option dbu
button ":-)", 1, 2 2 98 80
}//dialog -m Blah ZOMG | echo -a $dialog(1) Assuming that you only have this dialog open, it will return Blah. basically, this means the dialog is RENAMED. Tips, if you have internal dialog events, better use an alias like the one you mentions alias zomg {
dialog -m $iif($1,$+(zomg,.,$v),zomg) zomg
}Then you need to use On *:doialog:zomg.*:... as your event trigger. In addition, renaming the dialog via command line is kinda useless, as mIRC provides this feature already, permanently renaming a dialog will require accessing the script file after searching for the dialog, changing, saving and such.
If you need to rename the dialog temporarily, use mIRC's normal way. Other than that? do it manually.

Creating a dialog with /dialog -m A B isn't renaming it. The first parameter of the /dialog command is the dialog instance name. The second parameter of the /dialog command is the dialog table name (ie. the name of the dialog layout definition). You can of course have multiple dialogs open that all use the same table. But none of this means anything is renamed.
The OP wants to actually rename existing dialogs without closing and reopening anything in order to account for dialogs that are named after dynamic things (for instance a nickname which might change while a dialog is open). That simply isn't possible using existing commands. You can 'fake' it by storing the dialog's state, closing it, and restoring it with the new name, but that would be a great deal of effort and would probably cause noticeable flicker.
Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
