An explanation why I can't anchor childwindow elements to the parent window so they resize with it?
... (can be updated)

thats not so much a feature request, so I am not adding it to the list, you can ask it in a different thread though.

 | | RE: Scripting API Wishlist I think this has been requested before, but I'm not sure if its possible. A StripEmoticons function
 
Basically allowing emoticons to be removed from messages sent to the chat window but keeping their shortcut codes (like in the /noicon command);p

But that adds characters to the message and the due to limitations the length of text sent to the chat window cannot exceed it's original length... Or am I missing something here?;p

 | | RE: Scripting API Wishlist Can you add:
 Convo Window function to perform an action message sent to both users (The messages with ----------- above and below them), like in the Add-ins API.
 
 Convo Window function to perform an action message seen only by the current user.
 
 
 Don't know how possible those are, but they'd be very handy.
