guinness 1,517 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I am surprised to see that the controlID parameter is optional. Is this an error in the Help?No, this is not a help file error. Whether it should be optional is a different question entirely.

water 2,359 Posted November 24, 2012 I think it is a bug. When you run the example script and omit the ControlId the script crashes.That's true for version 3.3.8.1 and 3.3.9.4>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\Temp\Test.au3" /UserParams +>16:14:27 Starting AutoIt3Wrapper v.2.1.0.33 Environment(Language:0407 Keyboard:00000407 OS:WIN_7/Service Pack 1 CPU:X64 OS:X64) >Running AU3Check (1.54.22.0) from:C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3 +>16:14:27 AU3Check ended.rc:0 >Running:(3.3.8.1):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Temp\Test.au3" --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop !>16:14:28 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819 >Exit code: -1073741819 Time: 3.098I think you should open a ticket on Trac.

Richard Robertson 187 Posted November 25, 2012 If you don't provide a parameter, the last created control is used. If you haven't created one, it crashes instead of setting an error result. Valid bug, but not for the obvious reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.haslam 20 Posted November 25, 2012 What control would GuiCtrlGetState() apply to?I suggest that there are two problems here:Autoit should require that GuiCtrlGetState take a parameterOnce GuiCtrlGetSate requires a parameter, the help file will need to be changed.I will request 1 above through Trac.

Valid bug, but not for the obvious reasons.That's incorrect, if you take the example script from the help file for GUICtrlGetState, and remove the variable in the function call, it will crash AutoIt even though there's a control created in the script.

trancexx 1,008 Posted November 25, 2012 Yes it's a bug. Interal code expects passed argument while some other part of the internal code says the argument is optional. Help file always follows latter part of AutoIt. Considering latter part is wrong, help file is wrong too. ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
