About checkboxes in list - mIRC Discussion Forums

I wonder if it is possible to leftclick a line (and therefore select it) in a list of checkboxes without changing that line's checkbox state (from checked to unchecked, and viceversa) unless i specifically aim for the box.

Thanks

PS: I know it's possible to select a line without leftclicking.

This can be scripted with something like

Code:

on *:dialog:dname:sclick:1:{
    did $iif($did(1,$did(1).csel).cstate,-u,-c) $dname 1 $did(1).csel
}
on *:dialog:dname:dclick:1:{
    did $iif($did(1,$did(1).csel).cstate,-c,-u) $dname 1 $did(1).csel
}

Note that this isn't perfect as doing the actual change requires a double click. Alternatively, right click (rclick event) could be an option to actually make the change.

Thanks RusselB.

I've already tried something similar before you posted (your code didnt work by the way):

Code:

on *:dialog:lol:sclick:1,2:{
  did $iif($did($did,$did($did).sel).cstate,-l,-s) $dname $did $did($did).sel
}

But with this code actually when the leftclick goes down the checkbox becomes checked and when the click is released it becomes unchecked again..

I'm afraid that what you have is as close as you're going to get until Khaled releases a version where single clicking on an item in the list doesn't check/uncheck the item, unless the actual check box is clicked.
To my knowledge, this hasn't even been suggested in the Feature Suggestions forum, which is, I believe, where Khaled mainly looks for suggestions. The reason my code didn't work is because I got the switches for the regular checkboxes confused with the switches for the listbox checkboxes.

Your code, on the other hand, uses the correct switches.

Thanks again for your input, RusselB.

Maybe this is not the appropriate thread but i have 2 more question and i dont want to create 2 more topics:

1. What's the difference between extsel and multsel? (they both are styles for lists and they seem to do the same job.. i can't find nothing in the mIRC help about them)
2. Is it possible to make a timer execute its associate command when declared?
Example: timerex 0 10 echo -a stuff
this will echo stuff after 10 seconds unless i add an extra line with timerex -e
would be cool to do timerex -e 0 10 echo -a stuff

Maybe this should be suggested too?

Thanks

Re: extsel & multsel, sorry, but I don't know.
Re: timer command, use /timerex 0 10 echo -a stuff | echo -a stuff

The echo after the pipe will run immediately

While I haven't tried it, in theory the timer command you suggested should work now. Did you try it?

Works, but not when the timer is declared;

Thanks for everything

Then use my suggestion that includes the piped command. That will run when the timer is declared.
