is it possible to make a button that does a MQ command on a window. I couldn't find much of an answer on search or in the manual

for example i want to make a button thatll command /pet hold on my pet window

You could make your own window with your own butts.
You could use the plugin that does this for you.
I do not know if you can add custom buttons to normal EQ windows or not. Though I'm leaning towards a yes.

Alot of buttons for the EQ ui have homes wich make it difficult to get to out of hand with making custom windows etc without the aid of MQ. Just use the above plugin and edit the ini for it and youll get what you are looking for ...

You can do your /pet hold button no problem. Simply map one of your social bottons to your pet window, and make that social button say and do /pet hold.

As far as MQ is concerned, I'm very near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to it's coding capabilities, so other buttons I'm quite unsure of.

The /pet hold one requires no MQ, however.

you could just do a custom bind as well

Just copy the button from the social menu to the pet window, The NewGuy?

Yeah but I think what hes wanting to do is make it so he doesnt have to waste a hotkey space for it .. Becasue you can t link socials directly to windows that I know of Ive tried this a lot and it just wont work .. SO IE youd have to make a social button and transfer the social button to a hotkey space .. But then you lose a hotkey space, wich I know I persoanlly use all my hotkeys spaces for my AA ability keys .. So i would never be able to give up those spaces wich is where the MQ2MyButtons plugin really comes in handy IMO ..

Im actually gonna customize that MQ2MyButton Plugin for myself to utalize 20 or 30 much smaller buttons for stuff like macros etc .. What would be great is if you could edit the MQ2MyButtons by right clicking them and having them change the INI for you wich Im also working on atm for personal use ..

Let me finish raiding and I'll modify the standard pet window to have a social button in it - without using hotkey space, and without using MQ. Code will follow....
