 |
|
Hi,
I want to use functions more frequently in my code to encapsulate the code from the rest. When doing so I have to create a workaround for the Hotkey and SetTimer command (and maybe others), since they only allow to specify a label.
Is it possible to extend the commands to accept functions?
Maybe also for the GUI gLabel or Menu Label? Or rarely used commands like OnExit, GroupAdd?
Current workaround: | Code: | Hotkey, #l, hotkeysub
SetTimer, settimersub
Return
hotkeysub:
Hotkeyfunc(A_Gui)
Return
Hotkeyfunc(ID){
;magic
return
}
settimersub:
settimerfunc(A_Gui)
Return
settimerfunc(ID){
;magic
return
}
|
If extended it would be | Code: | Hotkey, #l, Hotkeyfunc(A_Gui)
SetTimer, settimerfunc(A_Gui)
Return
Hotkeyfunc(ID){
;magic
return
}
settimerfunc(ID){
;magic
return
}
|
It would result in cleaner and shorter code, and would make functions more appealing. I used mainly subroutines-only in the past, because I was lazy to do the workaround.

This has been suggested before; but the cost/benefit seems unfavorable compared to other features (such as #v2 and menu enhancements).
But thanks for the syntax ideas. I've made a note of them for when the time comes to work on it. |

| I would wish this also. In my big scripts with GUIs and a lot of lines, I try to encapsulate some of the code by doing the most in functions. Often it would easier (especially in GUI) if I could call the function directly, instead of creating workarounds like toralf described. |

I would very much appreciate and use this too. As an (extreme) example, I have a script with over 400 lines of workaround code that would magically disappear if hotkeys supported functions.
