I was wondering if there is a way when returning $active it to return the Dialog ID or Title (which is the active window) -- i tried it a few ways i could not find a solution... I did however end up writing a dll for this -- but still, wondering if mirc supports that if not -- i think we should send it in to the 'Feature Requests' Section.

/help $dialog

especially look at the properties of $dialog()

Lets say i have 5 dialogs, all are named unknown to me (randomly) using $dialog().name i have to know the name of the dialog -- which i dont know... so that wont help much.

You probably need to loop through the dialogs using the .active suffix to find out which one is active and then use the .title suffix to get the title.
