Why an undefined variable error?


Recommended Posts

I've had great success using the GUIRegisterMsg command on forms having a single Input control. When I attempt to do the same with multiple Input fields as shown here, I receive the following error from SciTE.

==> Variable used without being declared.:

Case $txtBoxB

Case ^ ERROR

The code in the MessageHandler function doesn't do anything but display a MsgBox for this example, but I can't get it to even run. Furthermore, commenting-out any one of the (3) Case statements results in the same error message but referring to one of the other fields.

So, what am I missing?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

_Singleton( @ScriptName )
Global $TESTING = True

;- Initialize general variables
Global $i, $j, $k, $x, $y, $z ;- Temporary variables (some may not be used)
Global $gvEvent

;- Define Windows notification messages for an editbox. It's only a partial list, but it's more than we need
Global $gaMessageIndex = _ArrayCreate( False, False, False ) ;- One for each message
Global Const $WM_COMMAND   = 0x0111 ;- For registering message
Global Const $EN_SETFOCUS  = 0x0100 ;- Sent when an edit control receives focus

Global Const $EN_CHANGE    = 0x0300 ;- Sent after field is altered and after it is displayed.
Global Const $EN_UPDATE    = 0x0400 ;- Sent after field is altered, but before it is displayed
GUIRegisterMsg( $WM_COMMAND, "_MessageHandler" )

Global $frmMain = GUICreate( "Test Messaging", 240, 135 )
Global $txtBoxA = GUICtrlCreateInput( "     ",  20,  20 )

GUISetState()
For $i = 0 To UBound( $gaMessageIndex ) - 1 ;- Must reset array here or some indexes may be True
   $gaMessageIndex[$i] = False
Next

   $gvEvent = GUIGetMsg()

   Select
   Case $gvEvent = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      ExitLoop
   Case $gvEvent = $cmdQuit
      ExitLoop

   Switch $lnWhichCtrl
   Case $txtBoxA
      MsgBox( 0, "MsgA", $lnWinNotify )
   Case $txtBoxB
      MsgBox( 0, "MsgB", $lnWinNotify )

GUIRegisterMsg( $WM_COMMAND, "_MessageHandler" )

in your code is set before you actually create the controls (and initialize those variables with controlIDs) , so it's not surprising that it complains about $txtBoxB or whatever being undeclared...
