Hello all. Got a few questions, let's start with this one:



In the above example, when ^#D is pressed or the timer triggers and DoSomething is executed, the variable PauseDoSomething is always empty. Any idea as to why that would be? It's first created and accessed in the Auto-Execute section, so it should be persistent at any point, or am I missing something?

If you use ":=" to define a variable, it's an expression... you have to enclose text in quotes

I added quotes where needed and removed the double =

Give this a try (I did not test):

Unfortunately, I looked at my real code when I got home and it turns out that i use = instead of := in the assignments. Therefore, the literal quotes are not necessary, right?

Also, my If expressions use ==. Should I change them?

when you use If statements whatever is in parentheses is an expression so quotes are necessary in this case
the only difference between == and = is that == is case sensitive

Thanks - did not know that.
