IF IF IF IF IF - HELP !

[MattX]

Silly question time can I have more than one If or do you have to use more Elses ?

I have a case of a prog starting but I may have 3 or 4 possible situations in regards to windows opening.....

Would it be:

If WinExists("Serif Registration Wizard") Then DO WHATEVER
Else WinWait("DrawPlus")
Else WinWait("DrawPlus new window")
Else WinWait("Another possible window")
DO WHATEVER
EndIf

Or

If WinExists("Serif Registration Wizard") Then DO WHATEVER
If WinWait("DrawPlus")
If WinWait("DrawPlus new window")
Else WinWait("Another possible window")
DO WHATEVER
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf

Sorry for the dumb question

Thanks Larry - is there a limit on the number of ElseIf commands you can use ?

If I was going to use say 10 of them then I suppose a Do Until would be better.

Did not know you can use 'Or' - time to change some badly written scripts.

Logical operators are in the help file.

AND, OR, NOT.... all usable with the "IF/Then Elseif/Then Else", "Do/Until", and "While/Wend".

ElseIf $lock = 05740 Or $lock = 05765 Or $lock = 05778 Or $lock = 05779 Or $lock = 12458 Or $lock = 12459 Then

This is my biggest ElseIf line with an "OR" so far. Currently building a massive script that will definately test the limits of the "ElseIf" if any exist. LOL. If $elseif > $limits.... I need to go back to work.

Personally, I think it should be infinate, as it basically is just an individual block of code that is only executed if the If/ElseIf is true. I treat If/ElseIf as a single line number in my head.....don't know if it helps, but.... have fun re-writing the code. Can't say that I envy you.

But if you need more than a couple of If/ElseIf using a Select/Case/Case/EndSelect is better IMNSHO.

Let me add to that:

Those operators even work in variables. (I only tried the NOT operatord, actually)

Let me give you some examples.

$var = NOT NOT 100 ;means: $var becomes 0 then turns into a 1

$var = NOT 100 ;means: $var equals 0

$var = NOT 0 ;means: $var equals 1
