illegal move? [CAN'T SLEEP!!]

[GodForsakenSoul]

moving between functions in autoit is like moving your pieces in chess. there are set rules.

i made a map of how my function goes.

the green line goes top-down and left-right. like the in stop lights, green means OK.

what i need is to make the RED move.

as in, under certain circumstances in FUNCLoopTill(), i go back to GUIPKan().

as you may have guessed, i'm stumped here.

help?

GodForsakenSoul,

Either let the FUNCComKana() function finish naturally or use Return at the point(s) where you want to get back along your red line.

uh... the return business i don't understand.... the help file produces a large chunk of code.

FUNCLoopTill(), as the name suggest, is basically a switch which reads a key from an ini file, compares it to another key, and if the keys match, exits. i forgot to make a line to Exit there...

FUNCLoopTill() doesn't have any valueable output to justify a Return().

hell, it doesn't have ANY output.

What?

You need to let your functions end naturally or with Return as Melba said, nothing less, nothing more. Just do it.

And you can't blaim the helpfile, just download it again if it's broken or check the online ones.

GodForsakenSoul,

Does this make Return any clearer?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            ConsoleWrite("Going into the function" & @CRLF)
            Function()
            ConsoleWrite("Returned from the function" & @CRLF)
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func Function()

    For $i = 1 To 5

        ; This shows that the function is progresing
        ConsoleWrite($i & @CRLF)

        ; Let us return early - if $i = 3, we leave now!!!!
        If $i = 3 Then Return

    Next

    ; If you comment out the If line above, you will get here and return automatically

EndFunc

so.... Return() ends the function early, basically?

kinda like ExitLoop only for functions?

Return makes ur function return a value.

Or @Melba's example, make it stop earlier.

yes, precisely. i ment in Melba's example.

Does it work like a function equivalent of ExitLoop?

[AlmarM]

Look at Melba's example to see how to exit a function earlier, what I ment was this:

$GUI = GUICreate("Test", 100, 100)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 10)

GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
    Case -3
        Exit
    Case $Button
        $Func = MyFunc()
        MsgBox(0, "", "$Func returned: " & $Func)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func MyFunc()
    
    Return "Wieeeeee"
    
EndFunc

Did you get some sleep yet?

After you have done that, try taking the time to do a little reading when people make suggestions in an effort to understand what is proposed.

You are here long enough to understand this much ... right ?

Now get everything of your setup fixed and open the helpfile before asking or else we will help you take the time for reading.

GodForsakenSoul,

It is not how I would describe Return, but it is not too far from the truth. However, Return is, as AlmarM hinted, more powerful as it can return values to help your decision making once the function ends.
