Hello, when you press ctrl + k, a tiny box pops up showing each color 1-16 and the number. Does anyone know a command to make this open? I know /font opens the font dialog. Anything like that for this little color dialog?

Thank you.

You can use sendkey to simulate the ctrl + k:
Code:
alias ctrl+k .comopen a WScript.Shell | .comclose a $com(a,SendKeys,3,bstr,^k)


edit: well it's not working for some reason

Code:
//.comopen a WScript.Shell | .comclose a $com(a,SendKeys,3,bstr,^k)

You mean you do see the little window ? For me it only put a $chr(3) in the editbox

Yeah all I get is the opening box for font color. I mean the little dialog that pops up when you press ctrl +K that shows the 16 colors and the numbers.

Like Wims, I only get the ctrl-k character without any color popup. What version are you using? I'm using 7.19 with Win7.

Upon entering your example, Wims, I see the $chr(3) in the edit box and the color dialog box. They both pop up at the same time for me. It works.

I'm using the latest version 7.19 too. I don't have any script installed. It's a clean copy of mIRC.

I tried it in 6.35 and this time I do see that it's popping up the color box, but immediately closes it so it just barely flashes. My guess is that it's doing the same in 7.19, but more quickly so that I can't see it happening. It's as if it's sending a second character that is closing the box. Not sure why some of you get it to stay.

I don't know. That's odd. The color box remains there until I have it closed with a number chosen. smirk

By the way, I'm using Windows Vista.

All I can say is, Wims's code example works for me.

Could be a win7 feature/bug I guess, I am also using win7

edit: I tried on 6.17 (since 6.35 has been tested) and indeed the window quickly appears/disappears, fact is it's working on 7.19 on vista so I don't know what's going on, might be a good idea to report that.

Ok but what you said in your last post is unclear imo, do you see the little window with the 0-16 numbers and their colors when calling /ctrl+k ?

Do you mean you get the font box where it says "Select Font" on your upper left hand side of it instead?
