is there an easy way for mirc to remember wheather a checkbox had a check mark or not in a dialog called with /dialog -m ?

basically what i want is if a check box was marked with a check box when the dialog was last closed, then a check mark should appear when it is reopened, is there a way to do this without setting hundreds of variables.

thanks for any help

It is your job to remember what was checked. If you don't want to store it in variables, then use either a hash table or an ini file.

heres a sample from my script..hope u learn by seeing lol

in this case my ID is 31 and my dialog is themex8 change %timestamp to somthing easy to remember and related to ur button

on *:dialog:themex8:init:0: {
if ( %timestamp == 1 ) did -c themex8 31
}
on *:dialog:themex8:sclick:31: {
if ( %timestamp == 1 ) { /set %timestamp 0 | halt }
if ( %timestamp == 0 ) { /set %timestamp 1 | halt }
if ( %timestamp == $null ) { /set %timestamp 1 | halt }
}

ooo sorry just misread it..lol um other than this way, or hash table, i dont think u can do it...unless u put it in a text file on a line and have each line represent a setting?

thanks codemastr, will start setting variables ... and now if you;; excuse me, i have to go to the eye doctor after reading ancyker's post (sorry if i got the name wrong)

Yeah, that yellow text does NOT look good on the beige background

I know, i wanted to delete it but then i thought what if he needs it for reference, so i just left it there but made it hard to see lol

You can use hash tables.

if ($did(x).state == 1) { .hadd timestamp timestamping on }
if ($did(x).state == 0) { .hadd timestamp timestamping off }


Just an example.

Note that hash tables are not permanently stored, and you will lose it once mIRC is closed.

You can save your hash tables to files with /hsave .. these files can then be reloaded the next time you run mIRC by /hmake-ing the tables again and then /hload-ing them.
