How do I extract values from an array for use as option in a command? Topic is solved

[joefiesta]

I tried pseudo arrays, Select1 Select2..., and decided the code was messy and doc says don't use them!!! So, I wrote this:

Code: Select all

 select := [1,0,1,0]
   folderct := 4
   loop, %folderct%
      {
      a := select[a_index]
      gui, 98: add, checkbox, Section  checked%a%   x20    y+10   vSel%a_index%
      }

Works perfectly fine. But, I hate it. I've tried every way I can think to eliminate creating the temporary variable "A", for example:

gui, 98: add, checkbox, checked% select[A_index]


Can the Gui,Add,Checkbox command be written without first creating variable "A"?

Try this:

Code: Select all

      gui, 98: add, checkbox, % "Section checked" select[a_index] " x20 y+10 vSel" a_index

@Jeeswg:

Thanks.... works like a charm. The doc makes you think you can't use an expression in a command. I think it needs to differentiate between explicit and implicit (like above) expressions (and those stupid "IF" expressions).

Because normally you can't, unless you force expression as given above. AHK 2 are all functions, therefore expression by default.
