blank parameter followed by &var Topic is solved

[jeeswg]

I was testing script conversion, and got a 'Syntax error' error message with AHK v2.0-a088 (the latest version), when a blank parameter was followed by a parameter of the form '&var'. Although I have found some workarounds.

Code: Select all

q:: ;test blank parameter followed by '&var'
hCtl := ControlGetHwnd("Edit1", "A")
vText := "abcde"

;SendMessage(0xC,, &vText,, "ahk_id " hCtl) ;WM_SETTEXT := 0xC ;doesn't work
;SendMessage(0xC, "", &vText,, "ahk_id " hCtl) ;WM_SETTEXT := 0xC ;works
;SendMessage(0xC,, 0+&vText,, "ahk_id " hCtl) ;WM_SETTEXT := 0xC ;works

;MyFunc(,,,,, &vText) ;doesn't work
;MyFunc(,,,, "", &vText) ;works
MyFunc(,,,,, 0+&vText) ;works
return

MyFunc(oArray*)
{
	SoundBeep()
}

Look like a parsing error. Another workaround for sendMessage, just omit the &

Cheers.

This was fixed in v2.0-a089.
