1 & 0 Coes

Will the following code work - if send and winclose do not work will it send 0 or does this only work for certain commands?

$errorcheck = send("Mrs k Good")

If ($errorcheck = 0) Then

_MyLog($Pre, "20", "Baji", "Data in the Attorney Name field could not be entered", "")

EndIf

$errorcheck = WinClose("BAJI/CACI Jury Instruction Selector for Windows [instructions Not Saved]")

If ($errorcheck = 0) Then

_MyLog($Pre, "20", "Baji", "BAJI failed to close", "")

EndIf

Quickly checks the docs

Hmm, let's see.

Send does not return a value. Check @Error instead.

Neither does WinClose. Check @Error for information.

Check the documentation for each of these functions for more information.

Edit: Fxi Spelling errors.

I looked at @error and i don't understand - how can I apply it to check if a window closed successfully and if something was sent successfully?

I would really apprecaite your help.

Will the following code work - if send and winclose do not work will it send 0 or does this only work for certain commands?

according to the docs....

send does not have a return value and does not set @error, so you cannot say

if send did work or not. Actually, send will always work, as you can always send a message. You just don't know if somebody received it.....

winclose will return either 0 ("cannot find window title) or 1 ("sucess"). Check the return code like this:

$err = winclose("window xyz").

However, winclose will only send a "CLOSE" message to the windows. This does not necessarily close the window, as it might for example ask the user to save some data. To kill a window use WinKill()

I ran the following code:

$err = winclose("window xyz")

MsgBox(4096,"Test", $err)

and it gave an exit code of 1 even though the window xyz does not exist. should it have not returned 0 or does it only return 0 if a valid window cannot close?

From help file on WinClose from release version

Return Value

None.

from beta help

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0 if window is not found.

So you are saying that winclose will not return 0 for a failure and 1 for success?
