Dialog question - mIRC Discussion Forums

In the DCC accept dialog, theres these text that tells you the nick, file and size that are selectable. I tried to find out what these are and through experimentation, I've found that they're edit boxes with the style "read". However, I can't figure out how to make the boxes dissapear. Can anyone help me with this?

In your own dialog, if you want to make the control hidden, use did -h (and did -v to unhide it). (I think this is what you mean.)

Uhm. Not exactly. What I meant was I want the text to be seen but not the edit box border.

There is no "flat" type style for a selectedable edit control. The closest I can come to duplicating mIRC's own DCC Accept dialog is like this:

Code:

dialog tdefBlerg {
  option dbu
  size -1 -1 160 83
  title mIRC DCC Get
  text  "" ,  1,   5   6 150  10

}

I would imagine that you can do what you are trying to do if you use mdx, but that seems like an awful waste of time just to get selectable text like that. I am not sure that I have ever selected any of those 3 text fields before today, and I've been using mIRC fairly heavily for nearly 5 years. I'm not even sure that I knew you could select them nor really why you'd want to do so.

Thanks hammer

Decided to go with text fields instead.

If you want to keep the editbox, you can use MDX to take out the editbox border. If you don't know what MDX is, check this out.
