Small (working) script cleanup request

[NaX 0]

A small script that works to change between a single monitor (computer only) setup to an extended monitor (extend monitor).

(pressing win+p then keying over was not efficient)

essentially the script retrieves the state of my second monitor then sends the appropriate displayswitch command switch to toggle the monitor state

I managed to make the script work (from other scripts) but it could be tighten up, hence the request

hope this script is helpful for someone else

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters= -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <WinAPI.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()

Func _Main()
Local $aDevice, $i = 0, $text
While 1
$aDevice = _WinAPI_EnumDisplayDevices("", 1)
if BitAND($aDevice[3], 1) then Run("DisplaySwitch.exe /internal")
if not BitAND($aDevice[3], 1) then Run("DisplaySwitch.exe /extend")
ExitLoop
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>_Main

toggle monitors.au3

So, my dear Sodium Halide, what do you want? I really didn't get your question... if this is an Example script, probably you posted it in the wrong section...

Sodium Halide?

I think the OP just want's to make the code more efficient.

I would suggest to use If/Then/Else and to remove the While/WEnd because the loop is executed only once when cause of the ExitLoop.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters= -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <WinAPI.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $aDevice = _WinAPI_EnumDisplayDevices("", 1)
    If BitAND($aDevice[3], 1) Then 
       Run("DisplaySwitch.exe /internal")
    Else
        Run("DisplaySwitch.exe /extend")
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==>_Main

i don't want to sound disrespectful, but 'hope this script is helpful for

someone else' is what made me put that question.

NaX - sodium halide. I'm just fond of chemistry.

terribly sorry - my post was not the clearest

yes, it is a request to clean up the code

thank you water - I didn't know how to only execute the code once
