Setting multiple timers(/reminders)? Topic is solved

[Flowgun]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to write a function that displays multiple reminders.

It's easy to create a script that shows a tooltip or a msgbox after a certain time using "SetTimer" command, but the problem arises when I want to create multiple reminders.
Since all the reminders created with the function would call the same "SetTimer" label, they would interfere with each other. The first reminder that runs would delete the timer and subsequently, all upcoming reminders.

I thought of creating a dynamic name for each reminder like this:

Code: Select all

ReminderLabel:= "Reminder_" A_Now
SetTimer, %ReminderLabel%,  %Remindertime%

so then I can call and delete that specific timer:

Code: Select all

%Reminderlabel%:
{
msgbox, this is the reminder's text
SetTimer, %ReminderLabel%, Delete
}

But it turns out that I can't use dynamic names for labels.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Code: Select all

ReminderFunction1 := Func("ReminderFunction").Bind("") ; Known limitation: SetTimer requires a plain variable reference.
SetTimer, %ReminderFunction1%,  % -Remindertime

ReminderFunction2 := Func("ReminderFunction").Bind("") ; Known limitation: SetTimer requires a plain variable reference.
SetTimer, %ReminderFunction2%,  % -Remindertime

ReminderFunction() {
	msgbox, this is the reminder's text
}

SetTimer, %ReminderFunction1%,  % -Remindertime

ReminderFunction2 := Func("ReminderFunction").Bind("") ; Known limitation: SetTimer requires a plain variable reference.
SetTimer, %ReminderFunction2%,  % -Remindertime

ReminderFunction() {
	msgbox, this is the reminder's text
}

Thank you. this works. Without the limitation actually.

Code: Select all

Reminder%A_Now% := Func("ReminderFunction").Bind(ReminderText,Remindertime%A_Now%)
SetTimer, % Reminder%A_Now%,  % Remindertime
