$array = Function?

[Ultracasual 0]

Hello

Seemingly basic question. I need help defining an array as a function!

Using GUICtrlRead if there are certain options selected it will execute certain code based upon that or return a message box if there's no radio selected.

_ExampleOne() -- Works

_ExampleTwo() -- Does not

I have tried setting a Global dimension on the arrays for _ExampleTwo() and when I start the script they immediately become executed

If I set a Local dimension inside the Function, when it's called they are executed in the same fashion completely bypassing the "If...Else..." statements.

While what I am after can be accomplished by lots of typing, is there a simpler way to define a function as an array instead?

I am not looking for someone to hold my hand even pointing me to an article would suffice as I'm new. Thank you!

Func _ExampleOne()

   If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio14),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
    Send ("{F1}")
   Else
   If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio15),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
    Send ("{F2}")
   Else
   If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio16),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
    Send ("{F3}"))
   Else
    MsgBox ( 0, "", "No option selected!")
   EndIf
  EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc

Func _ExampleTwo()

Local $array1 = Send ("{F4}")
Local $array2 = Send ("{F5}")
Local $array3 = Send ("{F6}")
Local $array4 = Send ("{F7}")

  If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio9),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
   Execute ( "$array1" & "$array2" & "$array3")
  Else
  If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio10),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
   Execute ( "$array1" & "$array3" & "$array4")
  Else
  If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Radio11),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
   Execute ( "$array3" & "$array4" & "$array2")
                Else
   MsgBox ( 0, "", "No option selected!")
  EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc

Execute is wrong. It would need to be

Execute("$array1" & @LF & "$array2" & @LF & "$array3")

edit: I'm wrong. Sorry about that

Something like this is much more readable for me

expandcollapse popup

Func _ExampleOne()
If Not _isChecked($Radio14) And Not _isChecked($Radio15) And Not _isChecked($Radio16) Then
  MsgBox(0, "", "No option selected!")
  Return 0
EndIf
If _isChecked($Radio14) Then Send("{F1}")
If _isChecked($Radio15) Then Send("{F2}")
If _isChecked($Radio16) Then Send("{F3}")
EndFunc   ;==>_ExampleOne
Func _isChecked($cID)
If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($cID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Return 1
Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>_isChecked
Func _sendA()
Send("{F4}")
Send("{F5}")
Send("{F6}")
EndFunc   ;==>_sendA
Func _sendB()
Send("{F4}")
Send("{F5}")
Send("{F7}")
EndFunc   ;==>_sendB
Func _sendC()
Send("{F4}")
Send("{F7}")
Send("{F5}")
EndFunc   ;==>_sendC
Func _ExampleTwo()
If Not _isChecked($Radio14) And Not _isChecked($Radio15) And Not _isChecked($Radio16) Then
  MsgBox(0, "", "No option selected!")
  Return 0
EndIf
If _isChecked($Radio9) Then _sendA()
If _isChecked($Radio10) Then _sendB()
If _isChecked($Radio11) Then _sendC()
EndFunc   ;==>_ExampleTwo

Xenobiologist is correct in the way you should go about it.

Just to clarify what was wrong with your first script, all execute statements need to be strings. Otherwise the send() function gets executed and the return value from it gets stored in $array.

Something along the same line as what you were trying to do might be something like this:

Local $array[4]
$array[0] = 'Send("A")'
$array[1] = 'Send("B")'
$array[2] = 'Send("C")'
$array[3] = 'Send("D")'
For $i = 0 To 4
     Execute($array[$i])
Next

But again, I recommend using the method Xenobiologist described.

Beege and Xeno thank you very much. Xeno's looks more applicable but yours gave me a few ideas, thank you both this is what I needed to hear
