Case and ContinueCase confusion

[netegg]

Today, I encountered a strange problem when i use the select. . .case statement. I really do not understand where there is an error.The following code is simplified, just to describe what the problem is.

Select
Case ProcessExists('explorer.exe')
  MsgBox(64, 0, 1)
  ContinueCase
Case ProcessExists('sys.su') ;this is not a real process. but....
  MsgBox(64, 0, 2)
  ContinueCase
Case ProcessExists('winlogon.exe')
  MsgBox(64, 0, 3)
EndSelect

That's why?Does the ContinueCase cause?Or the condition of 'case 0' is True? But the below is different.

Select
Case ProcessExists('sys.su') ;this is not a real process. and the msgbox will not show
  MsgBox(64, 0, 2)
  ContinueCase
Case ProcessExists('explorer.exe')
  MsgBox(64, 0, 1)
  ContinueCase
Case ProcessExists('winlogon.exe')
  MsgBox(64, 0, 3)
EndSelect

Try removing ContinueCase from your script and check if it works

Removing 'continuecase' is not the same as the first code. And, Yes, I know that it can use 'if..then' to do this. I was just puzzled if the sequence causes the difference, and why. Edited May 4, 2012 by netegg

From the helpfile:

Executing the ContinueCase will tell AutoIt to stop executing the current case and start executing the next case.

ContinueCase executes the next case, it does not continue the switch/select or run any conditionals. If you want all cases to run use three separate If's or something to that effect.

Thanks, I get it! Edited May 4, 2012 by netegg

There has been a discussion lately in a separate thread (can't find it at the moment) where you'll find an explanation how and why it works the way it does.
