Tile Claimed dialog box

• If the penalty for faulty declaration of ‘Out’ is enabled, the Tile Claimed dialog box appears each time you claim another player’s discard. The validation of your claim is done after you have closed the dialog box. On the other hand, if the penalty for false declaration of ‘Out’ is disabled, your claim is pre-validated, and the dialog box appears only if you have made a legal claim; otherwise a message box appears, informing about an illegal claim (and about the penalty for false claim, if applicable).
• There is a button in the dialog box for each possible claim you can make: Chow, Pung, Kong or Out. In addition, you can use the Ignore button to cancel your claim, but remember that canceling the claim usually results in penalties. You can see from the dialog box, whether the penalties for faulty claims are in use or not.
• Notice, that if you can use the tile to go out, you must choose the Out button, otherwise (if you get the tile) you must discard one of the tiles in your hand, even if you have a complete hand! Note: Four Winds 1.x allowed you to declare Out even if you did not click Out in the Tile Claimed dialog box. This is no longer supported.
• If you can use the discarded tile for more than one sets, another dialog box is displayed. The number of buttons and information displayed in this dialog box depends on the claimed tile and contents of your hand.
  E.g., if the discarded tile is Bamboo 4 and you have in your hand two Bamboo 3’s, one Bamboo 4 and one Bamboo 5, the dialog box appears with two command buttons: 2-3-4 and 3-4-5. The second dialog box is also displayed in situations, where you have chosen the Out button and you can use the discarded tile to compose two different sets: a Chow or a Pung, and in some situations, a Chow or a pair.

Tip: You can specify which of the buttons gets the keyboard focus when the Tile Claimed dialog box is opened by pressing and holding down the Ctrl key and clicking the desired button (to avoid choosing the action assigned to the button, move the mouse cursor outside of the button area and release the mouse button only after that).
