preview popups in nicklist menu - mIRC Discussion Forums

hi all,

i have some popups in my nicklist menuthat do all kind of fun stuff with the choosen nick.
my question is:
Is there a way to get a @window preview of the popup that i'm hoovering with my mouse.
This to see what popup i'm sending to the room.
I send a lot of wrong popups to the room because i forgot how they looked like

I hope u can help me out
greetzzzzz

You can make your popup menu have a submenu of preview and show...

Code:

menu nicklist {
  Color nick red
  .Preview:echo -a 04 $+ $1
  .Show:msg $active 04 $+ $1
  Color nick green
  .Preview:echo -a 09 $+ $1
  .Show:msg $active 09 $+ $1
}

And so on. That's an easy way to get a preview. You could also use $tip to get a popup in the lower right...

For the preview parts of the menu-

Code:

  .Preview:noop $tip(Preview,Preview,09 $+ $1),$null,$readini($mircini,files,trayicon),1,$null,$null)

Just change the 09 $+ $1 part. Of course, you can adjust the rest as well if you want to. /help $tip

If you want a tooltip on the menu itself, you'd need a DLL. I'm not sure if there are any that do that already or if you'd have to make one.

how to change ascii to unicode for mirc 717 might someone have a script that will do this please,thank you

First of all, please create your own threads and don't hijack someone else's.

To answer your question, most ASCII does not have to be changed. Only the range of characters that are not valid unicode. And, for those, you'll probably need to find out yourself. Normally, you can paste something somewhere other than mIRC and then copy it and paste it back and it "converts" it thanks to Windows.

ty for your respond.
I'll look into it.

thank you Riamus
