Set a global error

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

Is it possible to set a global error? So instead of $MyVar < Undeclared variable . I get 'An error occured, please contact bla bla bla'

I noticed SetError, but I dont think that it does this.

Thanks!

From what I'm aware of, No, you can't set a Global @Error, but you can store the value of it in a variable:

$Error = @Error

Can you show a bit of the code where you get this problem, and say when this error occurs? I don't recognize the message you quote and I'm not sure I understand.

I think what he wanted is a way of checking if @Error was set even after a successfull command was run..

For example, if it's a function then I'd do this:

$a = _MyFunc()
If @error Or $a = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "An error occured in your function!")
EndIf

Func _MyFunc()
    FileRead("blaahaaa") ; will trigger the error
    If @Error Then
        SetError(@Error)
        Return 0
    Endif
EndFunc

I think he just wants to be able to replace AutoIt syntax errors with his own notifications. So that the following script:

$MyVar = 1
If $MyVar < $NoVar Then
EndIf

Wouldn't give him this:

Variable used without being declared.: 
If $MyVar < $NoVar Then 
If $MyVar < ^ ERROR

It would give him a custom error message of his own.

In which case, no, you can't. It was asked for in feature requests and I'm pretty sure it was rejected. Just write your code without errors.

Ah, I see, yes, that sounds a little more reasonable.

Thats exactly what I want. Thanks!
