Hey is there any chance of adding a mirc statusbar, a fully customisable one, iether with inbuilt things or you can add your own through scripting ?

It's been suggested before a couple of times. I think it is okay though personally I wouldn't use it as I like as much of the screen devoted to the room window as possible. So if it is added an on/off switch would be nice.

I suggested this last month. Use the search feature next time.

im sure you can use mdx.dll to do this

Yer you can make one through a script but its for those people who dont have the time to learn or make a script that has trouble, let alone know how to use a script. But puttin it in mirc with an option to turn it off is a good idea.

You can only use MDX in mIRC dialogs, not to customize mIRC's appearance itself.

then you can use ktools to add dialogs onto mirc windows smile

Yes and 90% of the features in mIRC could have been accomplished using a dll of some kind.

yes but normally they are hard, with ktools (switchbar example) /dll $mircdir $+ ktools.dll DOCKWINDOW $dialog(blah).hwnd > left

Thats just to display one, not to make it useful. Now show me, in one line, making the statusbar state the number of +o/+h/+v/total users on a channel, your current status on the channel, and it should also dynamically switch what it says depending on what window you are in, ie if you switch from #chan1 to #chan2 it should update, and if you switch to a query, dcc chat, dcc send, custom window, etc it should display nothing in the status bar, etc. Thats going to be a lot more difficult.

ive never made a statusbar but you can dock it using:
dll $mircdir $+ ktools.dll STATUSBAR $dialog(blah).hwnd > bottom

then the rest is simple
all q users: $nick($active,0,q)
all o users: $nick($active,0,o)
all v users: $nick($active,0,v)
all users: $nick($active,0)

Umm no? That updates automatically? No you need events for ON MODE, ON JOIN, ON QUIT, ON PART, ON KICK, ON TOPIC, etc. And also, since when does $dialog apply to regular MDI windows? Oh yea, never.

a statusbar(in my opinion) is a dialog in the position of the statusbar, i didnt know you meant show on joins and that, but it still wouldnt be too hard, also i think youll find that $dialog applies since he brought out a dll to make it apply.........

You're wrong, admit it. That $dialog(blah).hwnd returns NOTHING unless a dialog named blah exists. And guess what? Creating a dialog is more than one line of code. Stop making up garbage and admit that you're wrong.

Yes I have, and I might ask you the same question seeing as how when I type the command you pasted I get:
* /dll: no such routine 'STATUSBAR'

I typed from memory, but the switchbar 1 works which is still using $dialog(blah).hwnd =\

No the problem is you don't know what you're talking about. The function in ktools.dll is called DockWindow NOT DOCKWINDOW. So stop saying you tried it and it worked, because you're just lying.
