List
Normal listbox control.

Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a List control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, hidden, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls except the embedded Dialog and Window controls.

alpha | Control is alpha blended.
dragline | Used with draglist, this replaces the standard arrow and draws a line in the list to indicate the drop position.
draglist | Allows items in the list to be dragged using the mouse. Cannot be used with multi.
extsel | Allows multiple items to be selected.
hsbar | Enables the horizontal scrollbar
multi | Turns string selection on or off each time the user clicks or double-clicks a string in the list box. The user can select any number of strings.
multicol | Allows a multi column list.
noformat | Disables support for mIRC codes in control (faster).
nointegral | Specifies that the size of the list box is exactly the size specified by the application when it created the list box. Normally, the system sizes a list box so that the list box does not display partial items.
noscroll | Shows a disabled vertical scroll bar for the list box when the box does not contain enough items to scroll. If you do not specify this style, the scroll bar is hidden when the list box does not contain enough items.
nosel | Specifies that the list box contains items that can be viewed but not selected.
vsbar | Specifies that the list box should display a vertical scrollbar when it overflows.

/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.

This command lets you add a new item to the listbox.
Syntax: | /xdid -a [DNAME] [ID] [N] [Item Text]
Example: | /xdid -a dcx 4 0 New Item
Note. You can use 0 for N to insert at the end of the listbox.

/xdid -c
This command lets you select items in the listbox.
Syntax: | /xdid -c [DNAME] [ID] [N(,N,...)]
Example: | /xdid -c dcx 4 1,2,3

Variable parameters ARGS:
f | [START] [END] [FILENAME]

END | The ending index for items to add. Use 0 to ignore. Negative values are treated as an offset from the end of the file.
H | [HASHTABLE] [ITEM]
n | [HASHTABLE] [INDEX]
t | [HASHTABLE] [START] [END]

$xdid() Properties
The $xdid identifier is a given mIRC alias that communicates with the DCX DLL to extract information in DCX controls.

$xdid().find
This property lets you retreive the listview item index and column index of the Nth found listview item matching the input search patern.
Syntax: | $xdid(dialog, ID, [TAB]Matchtext[TAB], T, N).find
Example: | $xdid(dcx, 4, $chr(9) *Item* $chr(9), W, 3).find
Parameters:
MATCHTEXT | String composed of wildcards or regex paterns used for the search.
T | Value indicating if the search is using a regex patern or wildcard string.
W | Matchtext is a wildcard string.
R | Matchtext is a regex patern.
N | Parameter indicating to return the Nth match.
Note.

- If N is 0, returns the total number of matching items.
- The [TAB] characters surrounding the matchtext are mandatory or else it wont work.
- The global search iterates line by line, starting at the top.

$xdid().num
This property lets you retreive the number of listbox items.
Syntax: | $xdid(dialog, ID).num
Example: | $xdid(dcx, 4).num

$xdid().sel
This property lets you retreive the indexes of selected items in the list.
Syntax: | $xdid(dialog, ID, (N)).sel
Example: | $xdid(dcx, 4, 2).sel
Parameters:
N | Optional parameter allowing you to obtain the Nth selected index.
Note.

- If the list is multi, and N is not supplied, then this command will return a comma-separated list of the selected indexes.
- If N is 0, then this will return the number of lines selected.
- When using this property without N, the result is limited to 900 characters. This is due to an implementation that mIRC has imposed on DLL communication, so it is advised to use the N parameter to prevent inaccurate results.

$xdid().tbitem
This property lets you retreive top and bottom visible item indexes.
Syntax: | $xdid(dialog, ID).tbitem
Example: | $xdid(dcx, 4).tbitem

$xdid().text
