$did Identifier - mIRC
< mirc‎ | identifiers

The $did identifier allows you to get the settings and values of controls in a dialog and use them to assist in performing the functions of buttons, radio boxes, etc.


Synopsis[edit]

$did(<name>,<id>,[N])[.property]

Note: Inside the on dialog event, you can omit the whole dialog <name> parameter:

$did(<id>,[N])[.property]


Properties[edit]

  • text - returns line or Nth line
  • len - returns length of line or length of Nth line
  • lines - returns number of lines
  • sel - returns line number of Nth selected line
  • seltext - returns selected text in an editbox, or first selected item in a listbox
  • selstart - returns selected start character in the editbox
  • selend - returns selected end character in editbox line
  • edited - returns $true if text in editbox was changed, and is not empty.
  • state - returns state of checkboxes, radio buttons, 0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = indeterminate (for 3stage checkbox)
  • next - returns id of next control in order of tab keypress.
  • prev - returns id of previous control in order of tab keypress.
  • visible - returns $true if control is visible, otherwise $false
  • enabled - returns $true if control is enabled, otherwise $false
  • isid - returns $true if id exists in the dialog, otherwise $false
  • csel - returns line number of Nth checked box in a list checkbox control, if N = 0, returns number of checkmarked lines
  • cstate - returns 0 = off, 1 = on for item in a list checkbox control

Parameters[edit]

  • <name> - name of the dialog
  • <id> - id of the controls
  • [N] - usually a line number, it can also be an id number with menus, use 0 if you want to access the editbox of a combo control.
  • [.property] - used to check features of the dialog id, such as button state, selected line in a combo control, or number of lines in an editbox.

Example[edit]

This example will monitor what events are triggering, what event ID is triggering the event, and any current captions or titles of the event ID which triggered an event. Created a custom alias called /whatEvents which will open up the local dialog whatEvents:

alias whatEvents dialog - $+ $iif($dialog(whatEvents),v,m) whatEvents whatEvents
dialog -l whatEvents {
  title "Events? What Events?"
  size -1 -1 136 112
  option dbu
  text "Event Type", 1, 8 8 73 8
  text "", 2, 82 8 49 8
  text "Event Item ID", 3, 8 18 73 8
  text "", 4, 82 18 49 8
  text "Event Item Caption/Value", 5, 8 28 73 8
  text "", 6, 82 28 49 7
  button "Click me", 7, 8 40 37 12
  edit "Type in me", 8, 48 40 66 13
  check "Check/Uncheck Me", 9, 8 64 58 10
  text "0", 10, 8 73 58 10
  text "Scroll Me", 11, 72 64 57 8, center
  scroll "", 12, 72 72 58 8, range 0 100 horizontal bottom
  button "&Close", 13, 93 90 37 16, ok
}
ON *:DIALOG:whatEvents:*:*: {
  did -ra $dname 2 $devent
  did -ra $dname 4 $did
  did -ra $dname 6 $iif($did == 0,NA,$iif($did($did),$v1,$iif($did($did).sel,$v1,$iif($did($did) == 0,0,NA))
  did -ra $dname 10 $did(9).state
}

Once saved into a script file inside of the mIRC remotes, the above example can be executed by typing the following command:

/whatEvents

Almost all events are accounted for. The dialog properly tracks mouse movements, the ID of the elements being altered/used, and any other sorts of attainable event information.
