Exemple : //drawrect -h WHATEVER_DC ... //drawrect -h $getDC($window(@blah).hwnd) ... And an identifier that would do that same that GetDC and another that would do the same than FindWindow That is about it

For those who dont know a dc is a windows drawable area... basicly... lol its a winapi thing. you can create them and copy them and such when useing drawtext.. and such u are actually telling mIRC to draw to the windows dc... but enough about that its not important.... me being a c programmer i understand the whole dc ur saying... but i dont understand the usefulness of this.... unless u could createcompatdc but then again... its still pointless 2 options either just use the -n switch or window @scratch then write to the scratch.. then drawcopy... which is bltblt so its super fast... i dont c the need for a $getDC or $createDC or $*dc just make a hidden window and drawcopy form it or -n everything... hmmm signed by me

Personally I don't see where it's really necessary in something like mIRC scripting. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

If mIRC has a @scratch-window that aliases can write to scripters can easily write such plugins for mIRC.
