There is a "display on desktop" option in mIRC options for various types of windows, including queries. This opens query windows that you receive and that you open on the desktop. If you use Windows XP or 2K then you can also set 'Transparency' for how transparent the window should be (so you can see what goes on in the background too).

The option can be found in ALT+O > Display > Options > [Windows] - check the box 'Query'. Press 'OK' to get out of the dialogs and then simply type /query nickname to open a new desktop query window. When you receive a PM query window, the same thing will happen.

A lot of help with the window command is found by typing /help /window.

Hope this helps smile

I don't know of a command to open a query window on the desktop via a command, and not with /window.

If you enable the option I said, and press 'OK' then you can just type /query nickname and the window will open on the desktop, it just requires activation of that function...why can you not use ALT+O?

I think if you change the mirc.ini file to say: wquery=140,851,140,477,0,1,1 under [window] (use CTRL+F) then it might change the options accordingly without having to use ALT+O...might be useful for a script and the like.

There might well be a scripting way to do it, but if there is I don't know it, keep checking back to see if some other clever person has posted smile

afaik mIRC rewrites the ini file if changes have been made without mirc doing it.

Yeah, it does, but I mean if they are planning to distribute the mIRC.ini file with a script they might want this preset in the ini file so that when the user who downloads the script puts the mIRC.exe into the script folder, it should activate the desktop query message windows option.

When this is done I don't think mIRC rewrites anything otherwise I wouldn't see so many scripts with these awful preset colours in wink

you can also use DmU dll (located at my site) to make any window a desktop window.

the dll makes whatever HWND you specify desktopped. It just means youll have to find a better way to get the hwnd.
