tonycst Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) If WinActivate($LabelWindow) <> 0 Then Exit Endif Since WinActivate returns handle, will my If statement Exit if window does exist ? If window does not exist, return is 0, so if i understand correctly, less or more 0 is what i need to exit once any handle is present, correct ? If so, does <=> would mean Less or equal or more then 0 rendering it useless since all 3 operators are against each other ? For example If WinActivate($LabelWindow) <> 0 Then Exit Endif This will exit no matter what, correct ? Thanks !

BrewManNH Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Using <=> would cause an error because that operator doesn't exist in AutoIt. I'm not really sure how that would even work in the real world because everything would match it. Your two examples are the same, so not sure what you're asking with the last part. To answer the first question, it won't exit until the window exists or can be activated. 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.

tonycst Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Thanks. Could the <> 0 be replaced with "Not 0" ? How would that look like and is it only for strings ? Edited August 31, 2017 by tonycst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonycst Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I did. I cant make much sense of it how to use Not. Thats why i ask. Can u give me one or two very simple examples with Not use in an If statement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted August 31, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2017 In simplest form, you should enclose the statement when using Not, something like this: $var = "b" If Not ($var = "n") Then ConsoleWrite("Wrong, $var = " & $var & @CRLF) Else ConsoleWrite("Right!" & @CRLF) EndIf This would be the equivalent of : If $var <> "n" Then "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

TheDcoder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Simply put, Not takes an expression, converts it into a boolean value (true/false) and inverts it. So Not (1 = 1) will be evaluated to False EasyCodeIt - A cross-platform AutoIt implementation - Fund the development!

TheSaint Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) When it comes to NOT look at it this way. Something can be in 3 states - True, False or Not Set. On, Off or Not Set. To give a more expanded example, look at the simple MsgBox function, where you use Yes, No, Cancel. You might want something to occur when either YES or NO is clicked, but not when CANCEL is clicked. $ans = MsgBox(262195, "Query", "YES = Clear & Start. NO = Start. CANCEL = Abort.") If NOT $ans = 2 Then If $ans = 6 Then $val = "" Run("Notepad.exe") Else Exit EndIf Of course, you could also just simply use - If $ans <> 2 Then It is perhaps most commonly used for - If NOT @error Then @error could be one of many values. Of course, the proper way (most economical anyway) of doing the MsgBox, would be as follows. $ans = MsgBox(262195, "Query", "YES = Clear & Start. NO = Start. CANCEL = Abort.") If $ans = 2 Then Exit Else If $ans = 6 Then $val = "" Run("Notepad.exe") EndIf Which saves on typing. Edited August 31, 2017 by TheSaint Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!
