Code:
player
    Click(location="privatechatgrid",control="PrivateChatWindow")
        alert(src,"IT WORKS!")


or

player
    Click(A,B)
        if(A == "privatechatgrid" && B == "PrivateChatWindow")
            alert(src,"IT WORKS!")



player
    parent_type = /mob


Problem description:
What I'm trying is, is when I click on the mob on my list(grid), that the alert pops out.

With the first code, when I click on the mob on the grid. The alert pops out. But when I click on the mob on the map, the alert also pops out.

The second code, for some reason, it won't work.

Sorry for my english.

You were pretty close here:

player
    Click(location,control,params)
        if(control == "privatechatgrid")
            alert(src,"IT WORKS!")


The problem was that you were trying to think of the location as an interface element. The location is generally speaking either a turf or null. Testing where in the interface the object is being clicked on is done through the control argument.

Your first example wasn't actually checking anything. You were just setting the default value of those arguments, which were then overridden by the default behavior of the Click proc.

Thanks man, it works and I understand it now!

player
    Click(location, control, params)
        if(control == "PrivateChatWindow.privatechatgrid")
            alert(src,"IT WORKS!")


The grid was on a other window in the interface file. But it works now! Again, thanks!
