Overloading Functions

[Guest Py7|-|[]/\/]

In Java it is possible to overload methods.

Ex: public int numbers(String name, int testing)

public int numbers(String name, int testing, int formal)

Is this possible in AutoIt? And also, how would it be possible to call a specific function if it is overloaded?

The closest match is optional parameters in the newest beta. Here's an example:

My_WinActivate("TitleZero")
My_WinActivate("TitleOne", "TextOne")
Exit

;For example only; it's not that useful
Func My_WinActivate($title, $text = "")
   If @NumParams = 1 Then
      Return WinActivate($title)
   Else
      Return WinActivate($title, $text)
   EndFunc
EndFunc

Java is also a typed language, where-as AutoIt is not, so its completely unnecessary to be able to overload a function. If its imperative you do different things based on the contents of a variable, then use the StringIs* functions.
