Dialogs make it possible to create custom dialog windows inside of mIRC. The /dialog command is the key way to opening new dialogs, and the Dialog components are the objects within the dialog, such as buttons, labels, etc.
Questions
What dialogs are
Dialogs are simply graphical user interfaces that present options to a user's screen in a graphical form. For instance, a web browser is display through its own dialog. Windows users may have used applications such as notepad, or Microsoft Word. All of these applications use dialogs, or forms of graphical user interfaces to present their applications in an appealing form.
mIRC Dialogs
mIRC dialogs are created by users through custom scripts. Through these dialog interactions, the dialogs adhere to an event listener, the ON DIALOG event. Through this event, all aspects of the custom dialogs, as well as their controls, can be monitored, tracked, and modified.
Scope
The scope of this article is to generally familiarize users with the term dialogs, and what exactly it is they are used for within mIRC. Since these components are geared towards more advanced scripters, beginners should make sure they have already gone through the preceding tutorials from the mIRC Introduction page, all the way leading up to Dialogs
If users are comfortable with mIRC already, and are ready to dive into dialogs, the next step would be to check out the Dialog Components page.
