Forums Scripts & Popups $input without pausing all of mIRC

is there any way to display a message/input box without mirc pausing until the ok/yes/no/etc button is pressed?

make your own with a dialog?

i've tried, and it kinda works
but i cant get the label to automatically resize itself in proportional sizes when given a certain length text

eg. try $input(hello)
and $input(qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm)

the dimensions of the box would be different

I don't think a dialog can deal with that.

I didn't exactly understand what you want to resize (you said "label", that sounds like you want to resize the text control, but then you said "the dimensions of the box would be different", which implies the dialog), but in any case, if you want to resize the dialog itself, use /dialog -s. You can't resize the text control at runtime with plain mirc.

MDX makes all these easier/better, as it allows you to:
1) resize/move controls at runtime
2) retrieve the properties of the text control, like x y w h and fontname/fontsize, making it possible to use $width() for calculations (you need to get the width of text in order to properly resize the dialog).

thanks

i'll look into this a bit more
