ClipWait fails with A_Clipboard in v1 Topic is solved

[mikeyww]

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.35

Clipboard := ""       ; Use Clipboard
Clipboard := 1 + 2
ClipWait 1
MsgBox % ErrorLevel

A_Clipboard := ""     ; Use A_Clipboard
A_Clipboard := 1 + 2
ClipWait 1
MsgBox % ErrorLevel

The second ClipWait generates an error.

AHK v1.1.37.01 on Win 11 Pro.

[v1.1.35+]: A_Clipboard is an alias of Clipboard.

The clipboard variable(s) are incompatible with the binary number cache. Caching is disabled for "Clipboard" but not "A_Clipboard". Assigning a string instead of a binary number will work.

OK. Aside from Clipboard, a solution for others is below, in case needed.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.35

A_Clipboard := "" ; Use A_Clipboard
A_Clipboard := Format("{}", 1 + 2)
ClipWait 1
MsgBox % ErrorLevel "`n" A_Clipboard

Fixed by v1.1.37.02.
