Beginner Question

[red0fireus]

Okay, so I'm really stumped with this and I KNOW its a stupid question but I would really appreciate it if some one could lead me in the right direction.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $iCount = ControlCommand("NVIDIA Control Panel","","[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Maximize 3D pe&rformance]", "IsChecked", "")

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "NVIDIA Disable/Enable SLI" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Status: " & $iCount & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

This is what I have and it returns 1 if its selected and 0 if its not which is great but I was wondering how I could make it so the 1 Shows up as Enabled and the 0 shows up as Disabled (As Text in the MsgBox).

Fixed a small bug

Thank you for your help. That does work however it removes all the text like

"NVIDIA Disable/Enable SLI"

And

"Status: "

It just returns Enabled or Disabled

Try again...I had an error in the code.

[red0fireus]

Yeah its fixed. Thank you!

Or you could do it the long way, like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $iCount = ControlCommand("NVIDIA Control Panel","","[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Maximize 3D pe&rformance]", "IsChecked", "")
    Local $sResult = ""

    If $iCount Then
        $sResult = "Enabled"
    Else
        $sResult = "Disabled"
    EndIf

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "NVIDIA Disable/Enable SLI" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Status: " & $sResult & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

I probably would have done it the long way, easier to read.  But it raises a question:  In the helpfile, under "Ternary", it says, "This Conditional operator allows a binary choice to be executed without the overhead of an If...Else...EndIf structure."  Just what is that overhead, does it really make a difference the size or speed of the compiled program?

Should be easy enough to test it.

In terms of overhead, given the examples above, the ternary operator didn't require the creation of an additional variable and it was done using one line of code as opposed to 6  (if you include the definition of the variable).  As for easier to read and/or maintain, that's relative to your coding experience and style.  That's purely a matter of personal preference.  In my opinion, in this case, the ternary operator has a pretty specific and singular purpose and therefore makes it quite easy to read, understand, and maintain.  I'm not sure how, or even if, the scripts are optimized.  Given that were are talking about scripts and not full-blown applications, I doubt that overhead is even a consideration when it comes to whether to use a ternary operator or to code the logic out the long way.
