Note: Using names -1 and @desktop are aliases to the width and height of the screen, -2 and @mirc are aliases to the main mIRC window, -3 and @mdi are aliases to the MDI window where all other windows inside mIRC are displayed. Using $window(name) with these aliases does not return a window name, and the only properties which return a value for these names are: .x .y .w .h .dx .dy .dw .dh .state .icon .type .cid .wid .hwnd (wid and cid return 0).
Note: $window(name) returns the actual name of the window, regardless of the upper/lower case spelling used in the identifier. If window was created using name @Test, $window(@TEST) and $window(@test) both return Test. Channel and DCC windows return a value only when $window is used from that connection id. $window(#test) returns the name of that channel window when the active window is on the connection where a channel named #test is open, and returns $null at all other connections.
If there is an open send window, $window(Send ReceivingNick $nopath(filename)) returns $null except within the connection where the DCC was made.
The non-number name used to obtain properties from a window should be the same string returned by the $active identifier.
Example
//echo -a There are $window(0) custom windows open $iif($window(1),The first custom window listed in 'window' menu is $v1) //echo -a Custom window @test $iif($window(@test),Does,Does Not) exist. //echo -a Channel named #test $iif($window(#test),is open on this .cid,is not open on this .cid but might be open on other .cid)
echo -a Checking which .props work for windows -1 -2 and -3. //tokenize 44 x, y, w, h, dx, dy, dw, dh, bw, bh, mdi, title, state, font, fontsize, fontbold, fontitalic, fontcs, logfile, stamp, icon, ontop, type, anysc, wid, cid, hwnd, sbtext, sbcolor, sbstate, tbtext, tbstate, idle, lb | while ($1) { var %i -1 | var %text $1 | while (%i isnum -3--1 ) { var %text %text / [ $ $+ [ window( [ %i ] ). $+ [ $1 ] ] ] | dec %i } | echo -a %text | tokenize 32 $2- }
