Au3guixp - Shortcuts

[herworth]

Is there a way to set up some of the OBJn parameters more easily where they are the same? I've tried a loop but it doesn't seem to work.

For example

envset(Gui etc)
for $x = 1 to 5
envset(OBJ$x set standards)
next
envset(OBJ1 set additional standards)
etc

I hope this makes sense to you. That doesn't work for me and I was wondering if anyone had anything worked out that made it a little simpler to set up a GUI

for $x = 1 to 5
   envset("OBJ" & $x, 'value to be set')
next

Sorry, I expressed it badly.

I had written it correctly in my script:

envset("OBJ" & $x, "etc")

My point is that when you set further parameters for OBJ1 it wipes out the parameters set in the loop.

It seems a waste of effort to keep repeating parameters that are standard for each OBJ and I wondered if there was another way of shortcutting the process for parameters eg "fontsize =10|fontweight=600", where these will apply to each OBJ.

Then use a function like this to set environment variables. (NOTE: Untested)

Func EnvAppend($var, $text)
    $__ret = EnvGet($var)
    EnvSet($var, $__ret & $text)
EndFunc

Thanks.

I haven't tested it yet either but I understand it and it seems like a great scheme. Why didn't I think of it? (You dfon't need to answer that!

One final note on this subject.

I have now tried Valik's function and it works great. So thanks again.

I use them for setting up CD data collections and desktop shortcut to common folders so it's useful to be able to make them up quickly.

I just love this Autoit V3.
