IfMsgbox invalid parameter?

09 Apr 2018, 11:29

I have been breaking my head on this for so long I'm not able to understand this..

When I run this:

Code: Select all

IfMsgBox, OK {
	Var := 0
	Send, %Retrieved%
	return
}
return
It says parameter #1 for IfMsgBox is invalid.

But when I run:

Code: Select all

IfMsgBox, OK 
	Var := 0
There is no error?

There was no #warn either.

The opening { on the same line is only allowed with if in expression syntax, for example if(x = 2) { ... so, put in on the next line.

IfMsgBox is a command, which means that you can't put {}-brackets in the same line. Instead, place the {}-brackets under the command, like this:

Code: Select all

IfMsgBox, OK 
{
	Var := 0
	Send, %Retrieved%
	return
}
return
You can use {}-brackets in the same line as functions and expressions; Ex:

Code: Select all

Function(){
	; -- Something
}
