[solved] RegWrite(), optional parameters. (-)


 Share

Recommended Posts

RegWrite(), optional parameters. (?)

Syntax: RegWrite ( "keyname" [,"valuename" [, "type" [, value]]] )

Considering there optional (no terminal error if left out), should't they not also do something useful?

Following 2 case's are more or less NOP case's. (always 0/error.)

RegWrite ( "keyname" ,"valuename" )

RegWrite ( "keyname" ,"valuename" , "type")

Or from a practical (useful) use the syntax resolves to

RegWrite ( "keyname" [,"valuename" , "type" , value] )

Not a (complicated enough) AutoIt related matter I take it! (or to complicated ... Na, that would be just to silly.)

I also take it using the tracker is the better way to get some closure.

- Funny, as I though it was intended to work the other way around.

- Never mind any potential additional information that might clear up this case, and potential similar other cases.

- At least it will be kinda officially resolved that way.

lol

Lets strike that last one. Easier to just draw a conclusion and drop that it in a box. Costing less energy, and no need to think about it anymore.

He's saying that optionality of some parameters is more something else than optional.

Something like that ... I guess.

@LaCastiglione:

The Syntax rule of RegWrite() is technically correct. But from a practical usefulness point of view its misleading/ambiguous.

As the two case I highlighted are useless as they always fail.

... Reminds me of a "Technical correct" Microsoft joke ...

They're not as optional as it seems?

Yep. Edited by iEvKI3gv9Wrkd41u
