AdlibRegister() ?


Recommended Posts

I never used it before.

Is there any way to use a function that is also used by the main script itself, to also be an adlib ?

If so, is there anyway to workaround adlib not being able to work with a parameter (The one parameter in my function is optional anyway) ?

EDIT: forgot example to explain my gibberish

AdlibRegister("_test", 1000)

For $i = 0 To 10
    _main()
Next

Func _main()
    Sleep(100000)
    _test()
EndFunc   ;==>_main

Func _test($val = 0)
    If $val > 0 Then
        MsgBox($val, "Blah", "Blah")
    Else
        MsgBox($val, "Nothing", "New")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_test

JohnOne,

It is very easy to use, but do choose the timing carefully (see below). :(

Is there any way to use a function that is also used by the main script itself, to also be an adlib?

I have seen cases where an Ablib function was called again before it ended (because it took too long to execute) and that worked until it ran into the recursion limit, so I cannot see why you cannot use a common function. If it were running it would just pause when the Adlib called it. However, what little coding common-sense I have has come over all twitchy about a code structure that requires it! :)

is there anyway to workaround adlib not being able to work with a parameter

Set a Global variable and get the function to read it directly whenever called?

If you define your function like this:Func someFunc ($param=default) EndFunc

Then it shouldn't have a problem being called w/o parameters.

Code example proved my intuition incorrect :(

Just a thought: a MsgBox will hang your code until you deal with it, using ConsoleWrite, or writing to a log file might be a better idea.

Hmmm the code works, I never thought it would

I just (for some reason had to declare $val outside of the function

AdlibRegister("_test", 1000)

Local $val

For $i = 0 To 10
    _main()
Next

Func _main()
    Sleep(100000)
    _test()
EndFunc   ;==>_main

Func _test($val = 0)
    If $val > 0 Then
        MsgBox($val, "Blah", "Blah")
    Else
        MsgBox($val, "Nothing", "New")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_test

Cheers for the replys gentlemen, appreciated.

EDIT: well for my purpose it does anyway, only when called from _main() does it write the value of $val, it is completely ignored by adlibregister.

EDIT2: Either that of $val just dosent hold a value, just only being declared locally

haha

same here, but I have nothing constructive to do at the minute and I was just browsing through the helpfile functions to fart about with them :(

I would not rely on that feature as it appears to be more of a bug to me.

This example shows how the Global variable is used in the function with a ByRef kind of behaviour when it seems that it should not IMO. The value of the Global $var is 500. Shown in the function as parameter $val (which should be local) is 500 and the really bad effect is changing the value of $val in the function changes the value of Global $var to 499.

Global $val = 500
MsgBox(0, "Global value", '$val = ' & $val, 3)
AdlibRegister("_test", 4000)
Sleep(5000)
MsgBox(0, "Global value", '$val = ' & $val, 3)

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _test($val = 0)
    MsgBox(0, "Local value", '$val = ' & $val, 2)
    $val = 499
EndFunc   ;==>_test

It could be a odd feature if the Local $var remained Local but when it can change/destroy the Global $var then it seems to be a bug.

I wouldnt use it that way myself, for stability sake.

But I dont know what Im missing here, because Your example acted exactly how I would have expected, given that when called by adlibregister the function seems to ignore its parameters.
