How to return value from autoit compiled script?

[MadBoy 3]

Hello,

Is there a way to return code from AutoIt compiled script the same way like functions do? I know that "Return" can be used only within functions, but i do need to return diffrent code then 0 (that is always returned for autoit scripts). Options like putting stuff into registry/creating files somewhere etc aren't solution for me and i know about them. This package is to be used in Altiris and it reads the return code and that's what my company expects from this package.

With regards,

MadBoy

You can get the exit code from the app from a dllcall() (from another app) if you don't want to write the exit code anywhere.

You could use OnAutoItExit() + ConsoleWrite() and have the external app catch the stdout.

Exit 4
Func OnAutoItExit()
    Switch @exitCode
        Case 0
            MsgBox(64, "Info", "Normal Exit")
        Case 4
            MsgBox(64, "Info", "Exit type 4")
        Case Else
            MsgBox(64, "Info", "Whatever")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

This alone will do just fine Smoke_N Wasn't aware that Exit can take values Testing it right now.
