simplifying Case definitions


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a menu (GUICtrlCreateMenu) with a few options. Many of the options share similar functions except maybe a change of variable.

Is there an easier way to write this without the repitition. (ie in my example, write functiona b c d e f g h just once)

Thanks

Switch
  Case $menuoption1
      $function="function1"
      functiona
      functionb
      functionc
      functiond
      functione
      functionf
      functiong
      functionh
      Exitloop

  Case $menuoption2
      $function="function2"
      functiona
      functionb
      functionc
      functiond
      functione
      functionf
      functiong
      functionh
      Exitloop

  Case $menuoption3
      $function="function3"
      functiona
      functionb
      functionc
      functiond
      functione
      functionf
      functiong
      functionh
      Exitloop

  Case $menuoption4
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
Endswitch

First off you can't use switch like that. What you have there is actually the proper structure for Select. Almost, at any rate.

Func _RunFuncs($iMsg)
   Switch $iMsg
      Case $menuoption1
          $function="function1"
      Case $menuoption2
          $function="function2"
      Case $menuoption3
          $function="function3"
      Case $menuoption4
   EndSwitch
   If $iMsg <>  $menuoption4 Then
      functiona
      functionb
      functionc
      functiond
      functione
      functionf
      functiong
      functionh
   Else
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
      totally different set of commands
   EndIf
EndFunc

Maybe replace the list with functionaTOh() and in that function have the list.
Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

That would work too.

It depends on what you are doing in the rest of your code.
