Tippex Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 When checking that my script compiles with the latest AutoIT beta, I found that the new "Constants.au3" include (used for other includes such as "File.au3") now has a Global Const $MB_IConstop = 16 ; Stop-sign icon which was already being set in one of my existing includes called "ExtMsgBox.au3" (to the same value). I'd like my script to be compilable in both the production and beta AutoIT with the least changes to my script or the UDFs it includes. The only idea i have at the moment is to comment out "Global Const $MB_IConstop = 16 ; Stop-sign icon" from "ExtMsgBox.au3" and to replace the production "Constants.au3" with the new one from the beta. Is there a better way please? Is there way to somehow check if "$MB_IConstop" is already defined and only set it if it isn't? Is there a compiler option that will effectively "comment out" $MB_IConstop if the AutoIT version is greater than the Production version? Thanks!

FireFox Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Hi,Delete the constants declaration lines in your UDFs.Edit: I don't see a clean way to do it except to make your own include with all the constants renamed (even I find that dirty too).Br, FireFox.

willichan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Assign("MB_IConstop", 16, 2) It would be a var instead of a const, but would still get the job done. Idealy you should be able to do If Not IsDeclared("MB_IConstop") Then Global Const $MB_IConstop = 16 but the syntax checker still rejects it if the constant is already defined.

BrewManNH Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 @willichan Or you could just change the names of the variables or comment out the ones that are conflicting in the non-standard variables. Which would be far better than trying to use Assign or IsDeclared. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

Tippex Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks all. melba23's update sorted my problem out but it would be really good if the IsDeclared condition was allowed by the syntax checker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be far better than trying to use Assign or IsDeclared. In general, I agree. But in the context of not wanting to have two versions of code for stable vs beta compiles ... I guess its a pain either way.
