how to use the function of the main thread in thread1

[xuezhe]

Code: Select all

thread:=AhkThread("
(
sleep 5000 
test:= var*3
MsgBox test
test(var)
)")
thread.ahkassign("var","2") 
While(thread.ahkgetvar("test") =="")
{
   Sleep 1000
}
MsgBox thread.ahkgetvar("test") 

test(var)
{
Return 1
}

error
noexistent function

in ahk_h v1 you will need exe.ahkFunction(""test"",var """")

Code: Select all

thread:=AhkThread("
(
sleep 5000 
test:= var*3
MsgBox test
exe:=AhkExported()
exe.ahkFunction("test",var "")
)")
thread.ahkassign("var","2") 
While(thread.ahkgetvar("test") =="")
{
   Sleep 1000
}
MsgBox thread.ahkgetvar("test") 

test(var)
{
Return 1
}

ahk_h v2

return null ?

Code: Select all

thread:=AhkThread("
(

Sleep 500
exe:=AhkExported()
exe.ahkFunction("test",var,var1)
MsgBox exe.ahkgetvar("var1") ;retun null
)")
thread.ahkassign("var","2") 
Sleep 3000

test(var,ByRef var1)
{
MsgBox var
var1:=var*3
MsgBox var1
Return 1
}

Yes, main exe has no variable var1:

Code: Select all

var1:="this is a test"
thread:=AhkThread("
(

Sleep 500
exe:=AhkExported()
exe.ahkFunction("test",var,var1)
MsgBox exe.ahkgetvar("var1") ;retun null
)")
thread.ahkassign("var","2") 
While thread.ahkReady()
   Sleep 100

test(var,ByRef var1)
{
MsgBox var
var1:=var*3
MsgBox var1
Return 1
}

Yes, main exe has no variable var1:

Code: Select all

var1:="this is a test"
thread:=AhkThread("
(

Sleep 500
exe:=AhkExported()
exe.ahkFunction("test",var,var1)
MsgBox exe.ahkgetvar("var1") ;retun null
)")
thread.ahkassign("var","2") 
While thread.ahkReady()
   Sleep 100

test(var,ByRef var1)
{
MsgBox var
var1:=var*3
MsgBox var1
Return 1
}

thx,but I want to get the another value of var from the main thread function (not the returned value)

Function is local, you can only get global variables.
Also by the time you try to get the variable, function already exited and variables were cleared!
