How to deal with functions with parameters in the OnEvent method Topic is solved

[OswaldGalen]

I'm new to AutoHotKey and want to build a program that launches certain apps through a GUI.
I'm stuck on the OnEvent method in a loop. A part of my script is as follows:

Code: Select all

loop read, "button.txt"
{
    Name := (StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ","))[1]
    Posit := (StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ","))[2]
    Entry.Add("Button", Posit, Name).OnEvent("Click", (*) => Handle(Name))
}

The problem is that every button is linked to the function Handle with the same parameter value, namely the value of variable Name in the last iteration.
I thought it is because the variable Name is a string and thus is only referenced. But it is the same when variable Name is a just a number.
I guess the parameters of the function Handle are all stored as a reference.
Can anyone provide a suggestion on this?
I'm not a native English speaker, so if there is anything inappropriate in the language, please forgive me.

Thanks
Oswald

u guess right. see https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=79132, https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=70515
the fix is binding the value to the callback, though in ur case it would probably make more sense to just retrieve the value from the control, eg:

Code: Select all

Entry.Add("Button", Posit, Name).OnEvent("Click", Func('Handle'))

Handle(GuiCtrlObj, *) {
	Name := GuiCtrlObj.Text
}
