How to wrap a function call with defaults...


Recommended Posts

What I'm trying to do is wrap a ControlClick function call with code that prints out some debug info to let me trace things. It's not working apparently because I'm failing to understand the use of "Default". Here is the code I thought should work:

Func _ControlClick ( $Title, $Text, $ControlId, $Button=Default, $Clicks =Default, $X=Default, $Y=Default)    
  _DebugPrint("Clicked '" & $ControlId & "' in windows with title '" & $Title & "' and text '" & $Text & "'")
  return ControlClick($Title, $Text, $ControlId, $Button, $Clicks, $X, $Y)
    Local $ReturnValue = ControlClick($Title, $Text, $ControlId)
EndFunc

The code isn't working because my assignment of Default as the default for _ControlClick calls does NOT get passed in as the Default for ControlClick. Any way to accomplish this?

I'm guessing it's because the Default keyword shouldn't be used there. The Button default is "left", the # of clicks is 1, and the x and y position is in the center of the control, but I am not sure how that would be determined perhaps -1 for both of those would work, not sure because I've never used them.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Thanks for the help, I guess I will just use the hardcoded default values for now in the wrapper function. I was just hoping there was a right way. I think I tried -1 and it didn't work, but I'm not 100% sure.
