Koder Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I can't seem to find anything about static local variables in AutoIt. Static locals are much more convenient than using globals. With gloabls you must scan for variable names that happen to match in different functions. Right now I tend to use ByRef variables in place of globals... Statics are good for recursion and various data structures. Anyway, I was just curious...
DaleHohm Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) See "Const" and "Local" in the AutoIt helpfile... Dale Edit: After reading Koder's reply... oh, duh. Ignore this.

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Koder Posted November 22, 2005 Author Posted November 22, 2005 A static variable is not a constant. A static retains it's value between calls to a function and can only be changed within that function. Useful for keeping track of stuff like recursion depth.
