How to make a dialog lose focus on init... #93352 08/08/04 11:53 PM

Edit: Actually it's wierd, if mIRC is NOT active when the dialog opens, $appactive (from dialog init event) returns $true, while if mIRC IS active when the dialog opens it returns $false. :tongue: Last edited by Iori; 09/08/04 12:53 AM.

Also, using /window will change the active window in mIRC but it will not give mIRC focus. Use /showmirc instead. Code: dialog test { title "Test Dialog" size -1 -1 100 100 } on *:DIALOG:test:init:0: { [color:green];the reason i'm using a timer here is because ;/showmirc won't be triggered otherwise.[/color] .timer 1 0 showmirc -s } /showmirc Manipulates the display of the main mIRC window, where -n = minimize, -r = restore, -s = show, -t = tray, -x = maximize, -o = on top, -p = not on top, -m = minimize according to tray settings.
