Problem with func. parameters using default values and tray menus

[Bresacon]

Hello all,

check this example:

Opt("TrayOnEventMode", 1)
Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)

TrayCreateItem("SetValue")
TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1, "_SetValue")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _SetValue($bValue = False)
    Local $iReturnValue

    If ($bValue = True) Then
        $iReturnValue = 1
    Else
        $iReturnValue = 0
    EndIf

    Tooltip("$iReturnValue: " & $iReturnValue)
EndFunc

If you try to run it it will generate an error at the If condition. If that function is called directly it will run ok, but if you use a tray item the default value wont get assigned.

It doesn't matter if the default value is False or True, or if you invert the logic. Or if you use an integer or a string.

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, am I?

OnEvent functions can not have parameters, if they have parameters, they are ignored when the function is called by the OnEvent trigger.

[Bresacon]

I read that, but shouldn't it apply at least the default assigned parameters? That's why I used it in the first place.

just use intermediate func that will call yours _SetValue

[Bresacon]

Yeah, I guess that's the only practical option now. Thanks, everybody!

No, why would you think that? The remark clearly says, OnEvent functions can't have parameters. And as I stated above, if they do have parameters, they're ignored when the function is called.

Ok, ok. I supposed that the local variables of a function don't get affected if they are ignored.
My mistake.
