gcue Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 hello world! when more than 1 pc is selected, i am trying to prompt the user again to avoid inadvertent selections. if i enter the correct value the first time the function returns TRUE around it works great however if i enter the wrong value the first time, then the correct value the second time - the return value is 0 and not TRUE so the script does not continue im sure it has to do with re-running the _Authorize function - but i dont see how to fix it - what am i missing???? thanks in advance! expandcollapse popup#include <array.au3> $msg_normal = 0 Test() Func Test() $selection_text = "Test" $pcs_selected = 2;UBound($selected_checkboxes) - 1 If $pcs_selected > 1 Then $message = "You have selected to " & $pcs_selected & " PCs." & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Please type the number '" & $pcs_selected & "' without quotes to continue." $authorize = _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $pcs_selected) Debug($authorize) If $authorize = False Then Debug("NOT updating") Return EndIf EndIf Debug("updating") EndFunc ;==>Test Func _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $requirement) $authorize = False $input = InputBox($selection_text, $message, "", " M", 320, 160) If @error Then Return $authorize EndIf Debug() If $input = $requirement Then Debug("passed", $input, $requirement) $authorize = True Return $authorize Else Debug("failed", $input, $requirement) _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $requirement) EndIf EndFunc ;==>_Authorize Func Debug($variable1 = "", $variable2 = "", $variable3 = "") ;~ #include <array.au3> ;~ $msg_normal = 0 If IsArray($variable1) Then _ArrayDisplay($variable1) Else If $variable2 <> "" Then $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable2 EndIf If $variable3 <> "" Then $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable3 EndIf ClipPut($variable1) MsgBox($msg_normal, "Debug", $variable1) EndIf EndFunc ;==>Debug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Try it this way instead, this way you're only calling _Authorize once and still able to keep calling up an InputBox until the entry is correct or cancelled. expandcollapse popup#Tidy_Parameters=/rel #include <array.au3> $msg_normal = 0 Test() Func Test() $selection_text = "Test" $pcs_selected = 2;UBound($selected_checkboxes) - 1 If $pcs_selected > 1 Then $message = "You have selected to " & $pcs_selected & " PCs." & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Please type the number '" & $pcs_selected & "' without quotes to continue." $authorize = _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $pcs_selected) ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $authorize = ' & $authorize & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console Debug($authorize) If $authorize = False Then Debug("NOT updating") Return EndIf EndIf Debug("updating") EndFunc ;==>Test Func _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $requirement) $authorize = False $input = InputBox($selection_text, $message, "", " M", 320, 160) If @error Then Return $authorize EndIf While $input <> $requirement $input = InputBox($selection_text, $message, "", " M", 320, 160) If @error Then Return $authorize EndIf WEnd Debug("passed", $input, $requirement) $authorize = True Return $authorize EndFunc ;==>_Authorize Func Debug($variable1 = "", $variable2 = "", $variable3 = "") If IsArray($variable1) Then _ArrayDisplay($variable1) Else If $variable2 <> "" Then $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable2 EndIf If $variable3 <> "" Then $variable1 &= @CRLF & $variable3 EndIf ClipPut($variable1) MsgBox($msg_normal, "Debug", $variable1) EndIf EndFunc ;==>Debug If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

BrewManNH Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 When you called _Authorize the second time here: Else Debug("failed", $input, $requirement) _Authorize($selection_text, $message, $requirement) EndIf The return from the successful result is returned and the If/Endif ends, and because you called it twice and only returned once (so far) it doesn't return anything when it hits the EndFunc line except 0, which is translated as False. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
