Someone wrote on the pnp forum here (https://www.kristshell.net/pnp/forum/viewthread.php?tid=414) and I was left wondering if the undocumented 'map' option for dialogs would solve issues where windows desktop scaling affects dialog sizes? Does anyone know? regards GNU Terry Pratchett - Looking for a mIRC help channel -> Check #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net

Yes is the most probable answer, but this is an undocumented feature without a whole lot of documentation. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mirc/dialogs Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!

The "map" option is an updated method that uses the now recommended method for mapping dialog sizes across different versions of Windows with different system fonts and DPIs. Yes is the only answer. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
