Converting Switch to Select

[jorgev]

Hi all,

I'm not an experienced coder so i'm having some difficulties converting a Switch to a Select. Here is a piece of code to illustrate what i'm trying to do.

This function will normally show a tooltip when i hover over a button in a toolbar.

As commented the Switch is working as intended, but if i use the Select it is not working, it will actually show the "New" tooltip for every button instead of the relative tooltip.

Anyone could give an explanation of what i'm doing wrong? tx alot

EDIT: i want to convert to "Select" because later on i will ad other cases to be checked for instead of only "Case $iCode = $TTN_GETDISPINFOW" in this example.

expandcollapse popup

; Handle WM_NOTIFY messages
Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam
    Local $tInfo, $iID, $iCode
    $tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagNMTTDISPINFO, $ilParam)
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "Code")
    
;~  ********** Select variation (does not work) *****************
    Select
        Case $iCode = $TTN_GETDISPINFOW
            $iID = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "IDFrom")
            Select
                Case $iID
                    Select
                        Case $idNew
                            DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "New")
                        Case $idOpen
                            DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Open")
                        Case $idSave
                            DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Save")
                        Case $idHelp
                            DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Help")
                    EndSelect
            EndSelect
    EndSelect

Why do you want to use a Select? The Switch is really recommanded especially when you are comparing always the same var.

Select
    Case $iID = $idNew
        DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "New")
    Case $iID = $idOpen
        DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Open")
    Case $iID = $idSave
        DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Save")
    Case $iID = $idHelp
        DllStructSetData($tInfo, "aText", "Help")
EndSelect

Tx alot FireFox,

Later on i will compare more then 1 var, that's why i wanted to learn how to do it with a Select.
