In the code that I present below, the code does not appear in a normal way. Perhaps there is nothing to be done about this problem, or if there is, it would be good. mIRC 7.64 mIRC 7.64.5829 Code: Code mdxfile { return $+($scriptdir,dlls\,$1,.mdx) } prevbmp { if ($dialog($1)) { var %w = $+(@sprev.,$1,.,$2) if (!$window(%w)) { ppwin $1- } drawrect -nf %w $color(back) 1 0 0 $window(%w).w $window(%w).h if ($6- != $null) { drawtext -npb %w $color($4) $color(back) $window($active).font 13 $5 1 $6- } drawdot %w } } ppwin { mdx SetControlMDX $1-2 Window > $mdxfile(dialog) var %w = $+(@sprev.,$1,.,$2) window -phf %w -1 -1 $window(-1).w $window(-1).h did -a $1-2 grab $window(%w).hwnd %w } TECO irc.PTirc.org (Co-Admin)

I have looked at the code changes between beta 5513 and 5829 and there is one change, relating to window regions and the MDI theme code, which is likely causing this. However, the change is intentional and I shouldn't really change it back to how it was in 5513. It may be that MDX/DCX are accessing custom @window regions in a way that is affected by timing or windows messages. It's difficult to say without looking at their code. I am going to make a change to the order in which regions are set in the next beta to see if that helps.

MDX appears to be creating/redirecting/hooking windows/messages in order to capture the output of the /draw commands. This results in mIRC not receiving sizing messages for the window, so it cannot update the window region itself, and MDX is not setting the window region appropriately (most likely because, in previous versions, this was not needed). The way beta 5829 handles this is technically correct. However, I am going to make a change that should resolve the issue with MDX (and possibly the DCX issue reported in another thread). This change should be in the next beta.
