Am I missing something obvious here? Seems like all strings should work the same and call the property defined for String. When the string happens to be the name of the function, it calls the property defined for Func. Is there possibly a bug in the Func("Name") optimization code, or is this the exp...

I know one can override a calculated property in a subclass by simply redefining the calculated property. Is there any way to revert back from a calculated to non-calculated property (value property or member access or whatever the correct term is)? I've tried various ways, but I keep getting the "p...

sirksel

Wow! Thanks for the explanation. I do get the point that Critical and InputHook don't seem to work well together for the reasons you outline. By the way, except for this issue with InputHook, I've never had another issue with timers/hotkeys/hotstrings in lots of other contexts in this script (which ...

sirksel

Maybe not quite fixed. I have one more issue. When I put this code back into my main script, it still worked in an unexpected way. I traced it down to an interaction with Critical . Here's the code: ;critical 10 ;UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO CAUSE EARLY TERMINATION inp(len:=-1, tmo:=2.0, tmi:=1.0) ;input ...

Thanks, Lexikos. One * did the trick! Everything works as expected. I pulled this from some older code I hadn't run in a while, and I didn't even think about the fact that surplus parameters are no longer allowed. Must have been pre-a103 that I last ran this. I think the * handling is much better (e...

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or my lack of understanding of the docs. Probably the latter... The help file for InputHook.Timeout says that "The timeout period ordinarily starts when Start is called, but will restart if this property is assigned a value while Input is in progress." The following is...

As of a121, this is fixed! Thank you.

Seems only to be a problem when passing byref:

Code: Select all

x := ''
msgbox (x == '') ':' (!x)   ; 1:1
f(x), g(x)

f(byref v) {
  msgbox (v == '') ':' (!v)  ; BUG: 1:0
}

g(v) {
  msgbox (v == '') ':' (!v)  ; 1:1
}

Possibly related to the closure issues posted in a previous thread, but possibly not.

lexikos and swagfag Sorry friends... I pulled my post down (since it was the last) to try to make it shorter , but I didn't realize you were answering at the same time. The original post is below. You are correct, lexikos. It was a test class. =============================== SOLVED. I wasn't trying...

sirksel

Helgef I've figured out why, I think, the error exists. The function is also named xl() . If I change the variable name to any other super-global name, it works. I thought this always worked before because the function namespace was separate. I referred to xl to get to the super-global object refer...

sirksel

I keep getting an error with the following line, which doesn't really depend on anything. It worked in 109 but not 112. I can figure out the change that's affecting it. xl is a super-global and this appears in a function that refreshes that super-global. try return comobjtype(xl, 'iid') == 'Excel' ?...

sirksel

Lexikos , this is great. Thanks! I love the idea of null or Nothing . I would especially love it if it were falsey upon evaluation, since missing OR blank/zero is such a common test. Similar to your discussion of Nothing, I currently use two sentinels: na and nl (super-global quasi-constants -- but...

sirksel

lexikos , thanks for this. Sounds promising! I haven't used the latest version yet (need to update lots of code for the ErrorLevel changes...), but I have a question about unset . I apologize that I haven't tried it yet. For me, I'm thinking it might only get rid of my sentinel structures if it can...

sirksel

Right, I get it. I need to learn to read! :) Anyhow, maybe it's because such a construct doesn't exist with for-loops in several other languages I know... so I read right past those three words? I guess I wasn't actually proposing my little array snippet as an example for the docs. If you guys go do...

sirksel

I just saw a sentence in the documentation I've never noticed before in a decade of using autohotkey, but apparently has been there since v1: "Until can be used with any Loop or For " (underline added) I always knew I could do Loop..Until, but I somehow never realized I could do this: a := [2,4,6,8,...

sirksel

Got it. This helps a lot. Thanks Helgef!

sirksel

Excellent. Thanks, Helgef. I'm just cleaning up code as I'm transferring it to the latest alpha, so I'm trying fix little issues as I see them. 1. To clarify my question just a bit, there's no reason you'd ever set _x in both places: class test { _x := 0 ;this just slows things down, right? _y := 0 ...

1. Class body instance var declaration vs. New() assignments: Is there any reason (aside from documentation) to initialize a (non-accumulating) instance variable in the class body that's going to be assigned anyhow in __New() based on a parameter? 2. __Init: Is there any special functionality that c...

sirksel

Good point. My newer .sget(name, default:='') method is really a test of properties in the object or the base(s), while I had been using ObjRawGet for just testing the object itself. I see how your edited code is more closely tied to that original functionality. Thanks!

sirksel

The purpose of ObjRawSet and ObjRawGet is unclear - they were used for both properties and associative arrays, but now only operate on properties. I hadn't decided between renaming them, removing them, or something else, so just tagged them as deprecated. Anyone updating (to the latest v2) old code...
