Forums Feature Suggestions /dialog

I am currently scripting a dialog which docks to the channel window using the dcx (http://dcx.scriptsdb.org/) dll.

Whenever the dialog opens it takes the focus from mIRC onto the dialog, then I scripted 'window -a #channame' to bring the focus back onto mIRC. The resulting effect is that the mIRC window appears to flicker.

I'd like to have made a parameter when using /dialog, to not take focus from the mIRC window in the first place

you're using DCX to create the dialog or just to dock an existing mIRC dialog?

DCX will not create a dialog, it will manipulate an existing dialog by adding styles and creating controls inside of it.

I assume its his syntax with the /dialog command.

I'm using DCX to just an existing mIRC dialog.

You're right. I'm talking about a suggestion for a possible new parameter added to /dialog to make it so it launches the dialog without bringing focus onto it.

Until Khaled implements this (presuming that he does), you can effectively do the same thing by issuing /dialog -i <dialog> immediately after the /dialog command that opens the dialog.

NOTE: Including the -i switch with your current opening command will not have the same effect. It needs to be a separate command.
