Copy and Paste?

[cottons]

Is it possible to have a copy for the chat window?

Or maybe a way for it to look for the http:// lead in and then create a link for that?

Addtionally, I don't think this would be possible, but what about having the chat colorize it self? Where you could set certain people as to a certain color.

Just ideas...thanks

Most of that's a function of the game client itself, not the UI mod. Chat colors, for instance, are controlled by the User Interface options and not by the UI mod itself. Copy-and-paste ditto, the game client handles that and doesn't handle it at all well and there's nothing a UI mod can do there.

These are good ideas, but doing any of them would involve huge amounts of work. I personally hate the fact that the default interface doesn't better support cut / copy / paste, but adding it would involve writing a text editor that uses Windows API calls to work on the interface windows directly. That would be HARD, if it could be done at all.

Colorizing chat at the interface level would probably cause a huge performance hit. Displaying a predetermined color is easy. Scanning all the text and applying logic to make a color decision is a lot more work.

I wish it were easier to do these things, but there are some hard limits imposed by the default UI and the xml language itself.
