MsgBox return code always 0?


Recommended Posts

This code is part of a shutdown script I wrote to practice my coding since I'm still learning AutoIt. I've looked over this code again and again and cant figure out why $choice always returns a 0. If they click no, it should return a 7, if they click yes it should return a 6. When it returns a 6, it should logoff/shutdown/reboot, whatever the selection is when its passed into the Shut function.

Func Shut($type)
    Select
        Case $type = 0
            MsgBox(36, "Log off", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to log off now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 1
            MsgBox(36, "Shutdown", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to shutdown now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 2
            MsgBox(36, "Reboot", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to reboot now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 4
            MsgBox(36, "Log off", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to log off now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 5          
            MsgBox(36, "Shutdown", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to shutdown now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 6
            MsgBox(36, "Reboot", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to reboot now?")
            $choice = @error
        Case $type = 9
            MsgBox(36, "Shutdown", "All programs have been closed.  Would you like to shutdown now?")
            $choice = @error
    EndSelect

    If $choice = 6 then
        Shutdown($type)
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "$choice = " & $choice, 3)
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "$choice = " & $choice, 3)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc;==> Shut

Edit: The MsgBox in the If and Else statement is just for debugging.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

@error returns the error code, which is 0 if there isn't an error
