Forums Scripts & Popups return from *.icl file

I have this little problem, i store my icons in a *.icl file, but now i trying to return the icon from the file, in a dialog i can use:

$mircdir $+ icons.icl,N

but now i want to return the icon's in the file to nicklust:

nicklust AddIcon $1 > $shortfn()

it's here the problem are, how would i return the icon file? the code i trying to solve are between () in $shortfn, someone that know? or do i need to store the icons as *.ico files?

i never used this dll but a search on google give me this :

that didn't work. and i return the dll file like:

alias nicklust { dll $+(",$mircdirdlls\nicklust3.dll,") $1- }

and i call the dll with:

nicklust AddIcon $1 > $shortfn()

and the files in *.icl is named 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 and so on, so it's no difficult names that i misspelled. any more ideas?

;---------- EDIT

I must also ask why this aren't working:

when this work:

i want to fill the dialog with icons, and to do that i call a alias named "ic-pth" with $ic-pth, then i want to inc %x untill it get to 21 and after that stop.

SetIcon # op|normal|halfop|voice > index,filename.ext
You can use either a dll exe ico and icl. If you use a library of icons then you can also use an index to specify wich icon to use.
Example:
SetIcon # op > 5,op_icon.icl

Hopefully a dumb question, but, have you confirmed that you have 21 .ico files in the subdirectory nlist, which is off of the mIRC installation directory?

P.S.: In both of your alias codes, your missing a closing brace bracket.

Regarding the nicklust problem, sorry but I've never used it.

I have 21 files, and i missed the last } when i copied the code. it only return the firs file, %x = 1 , it won't inc %x when i return the answer and want to load the icon to the dialog.

If i change the line that "return" the info. and replacing return with echo, after that it working as it should, so the question is, how can i return the info i want?

Do you know what return do ? I'm really wondering why you're asking question like this, you're doing a /return on a while and you don't undertand why it doesn't work ? You should also learn how to debug your code, simply by add the -s switch to /inc here, it will show you that return just do what it should, stop the routine.You can't do this, put you're while loop in your code directly.

And vexed2, read my post :p

I did, then realised it's the old nicklust helpfile anyway, from 2002.
Nicklust3 is from 2004.
I managed to find the help file in the end.
If he has the helpfile, he should have no problems, the script is virtually all there ..

I wanted to get help with it, the reason why i want it to inc the %x is so i don't need to have 21 lines with the path to the icon file, i know it "return" the info, then stop, but i also tried to make it keep on going until it was up to 21, and i pasted the code here since if i don't i get the answer "without the code we cant help you". so ideas on how to return the file path/name for all 21 would be great, or must i use the path/file.ico for all the files?

;------- edit

i just return the path, then i save some bytes there =)
