when opening a @window - mIRC Discussion Forums

in the help file it reads:

on 1:CLOSE:@:/echo -s Just closed $target custom window

The above triggers when a custom window is closed. The OPEN event does not trigger for custom windows.

what i need is a substitute for the open @window event, since you cannot get it with 'on'.

any ideas?

Code:

alias window {
  if $isid { return }
  var %a = $wildtok($1-,@*,1,32)
  if !$window(%a) { .signal windowopen %a }
  !window $1-
}
on *:signal:windowopen:{
  echo -a Here is a substitute 'on open' event for $1
}

thats good, but a few problems occured.

1) it doesn't work with /debugs (it only works for actually /windows). is there anything i could change/add so all custom windows are supported?

2) it counts for all windows, not just custom windows. what i mean by this is that if i use that echo, it will appear on all windows i click on (channel, query, etc.). is there anything i can do about this?

A slight mod to only trigger if window command succeeds. If the /window command fails it will halt with the error (e.g. "* /window: invalid parameters") and not trigger the signal.

Code:

alias window {
  if $isid { return }
  var %a = $wildtok($1-,@*,1,32),%b = $window(%a)
  !window $1-
  if !%b { .signal windowopen %a }
}
on *:signal:windowopen:{
  echo -a Here is a substitute 'on open' event for $1
}

"only one problem; it doesn't work with /debugs "
alias debug { blahblah... }

"is there anything i can do about this?"

Code:

  if %a &amp;&amp; !%b { .signal.... }
