Global/Local/Dim?

[Roofel]

Hello:) Im kinda new to AutoIt and i cant find out what the benefits of using Global values and such:S

When to use it and for what?^^,

Also, anyone know the "style" on how to have a window appear ontop at all times? Just like the TaskManager that is built-in inside the Windows core:)

[Swift]

Global means that anywhere in the script...a function or case can use that...if its Local...then only that functions/case can use it...and Dim...and not exactly sure...Im still learning too

EDIT: didnt you just ask that question how to set it on top..? In a few topics ago...my answer works...put in the loop WinSetOnTop($gui)

i think dim refers to a variable that is constantly changing. each time you use it again in the script, the new value is given. so if you were to add 1 to a dim variable, the new variable would be used. Global is a nonchanging variable usually?

[Swift]

Yep...you cant change a global variable if im not mistaken!

Anyone know the hex number when a window is doubleclicked?

Yep...you cant change a global variable if im not mistaken!

I am amazed that none of you in this thread bothered to read the helpfile!

Dim = Local scope if the variable name doesn't already exist globally (in which case it reuses the global variable!)

Global = Forces creation of the variable in the Global scope

Local = Forces creation of the variable in the Local/Function scope

const [optional] If present, the Const keyword creates a constant rather than a variable.

I looked up Global in the Helpfile and it didnt say anything about that:P

[AdmiralAlkex]

open helpfile ---> press index ---> write "gl" ---> what do you have on top??

Because "Tray_Event_primary_Double" doen't exist. However

Global Const $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE = -13
