#146247 - 2005-08-23 04:02 PM execute () variables not passing when expected.
MACE MACE Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-09-07 Posts: 150 Loc: Manchester UK	WKIX 4.23 & KixForms.dll 14-08-2004 I have spent some time trying to get to the bottom of why I get spurious errors in my current project, it turns out the values assigned and the executed results are not as expected. The following code written for this post shows that what you would expect to appear in #1 ends up in #2 and so on, very strange. I can not rely on passing into a form variable or successfully extract and test from a form variable. On trying to pass back to $txt I have tried all these combinations and none seem to pass back the value of $VARIABLE1.Text Anyone any idea what is going on... Code: ;Test Sample partial code for KixForm - trouble passing data to/from variables - Out of sync ! setoption("NoVarInString","Off") setoption("WrapAtEOL","on") debug on ? "Test" $TBN = "$VARIABLE1" $TX1 = "1st-Text" ; Partial Form Code $_ = execute("$$#$TBN = $$PForm.TextBox()") $_ = execute("$$#$TBN.MaxLength = 10") $_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = $$TX1") ? "#1=" $VARIABLE1.Text $_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = '2nd-Text'") ? "#2=" $VARIABLE1.Text ;other code $VARIABLE1.Text = "3rd-text" $_ = execute("$$txt = $$TBN.TEXT") ;$_ = execute("$$txt = $$#$TBN.TEXT") ;$_ = execute("$$#$txt = $$TBN.TEXT") ;$_ = execute("$$#$txt = $$#$TBN.TEXT") ? "#3=" $txt ? "#4=" $VARIABLE1.TEXT $A = len($txt) ? $A debug off sleep 5

I would use novarinstrings ON, not OFF.

and this looks like a typo... "$$#$TBN" ???

Code:


;Test Sample partial code for KixForm - trouble passing data to/from variables - Out of sync ! 
setoption("NoVarInStrings","ON") 
setoption("WrapAtEOL","on") 
debug on 

? "Test" 

$TBN = $VARIABLE1
$TX1 = "1st-Text" 
; Partial Form Code 

$_ = execute("$TBN = " + $PForm.TextBox()) 
$_ = execute("$TBN.MaxLength = 10") 
$_ = execute("$TBN.Text = " $TX1) 
? "#1=" $tbn.Text 
$_ = execute("$TBN.Text = '2nd-Text'") 
? "#2=" $TBN.Text 

;other code 
$VARIABLE1.Text =  "3rd-text" 
$_ = execute("$txt = " + $TBN.TEXT) 

? "#3=" $txt 
? "#4=" $VARIABLE1.TEXT 
$A = len($txt) 
? $A

MACE MACE Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-09-07 Posts: 150 Loc: Manchester UK	If you really wish, then fine I will prepare a bigger script however the primary issue is not the form but the data for seeding the form. The scriptlet shows the creation of a form variable and the variety of means of supplying data to it.For some reason #1 is given a value but when checked = ? it is blank, yet the variable is reset with #2 and displayed but then it is showing the value of #1.. I can not rely on the value being there when it is suposed to be ... or so it seems.

I’m not sure I’m getting the drift of what you are trying to do so please take the following for what its worth; if any.

Code:

;Test Sample partial code for KixForm - trouble passing data to/from variables - Out of sync ! 
setoption("NoVarsInString","on") 
setoption("WrapAtEOL","on") 
debug on 
? "Test" 
$TBN = "$VARIABLE1" 
$TX1 = "1st-Text" 
; Partial Form Code 
$_ = execute("$$#$TBN = $$PForm.TextBox()") 
$_ = execute("$$#$TBN.MaxLength = 10") 
? ?
$_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = $$TX1") 
? $VARIABLE1.Text
$_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = '2nd-Text'") 
? $VARIABLE1.Text
$_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = '3rd-Text'") 
? $VARIABLE1.Text
;other code 
;$VARIABLE1.Text =  "3rd-text" 
;$_ = execute("$$txt = $$TBN.TEXT") 
;$_ = execute("$$txt = $$#$TBN.TEXT") 
;$_ = execute("$$#$txt = $$TBN.TEXT") 
;$_ = execute("$$#$txt = $$#$TBN.TEXT") 
;? "#3=" $txt 
;? "#4=" $VARIABLE1.TEXT 
$A = len($txt) 
? $A 
debug off
exit

MACE MACE Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-09-07 Posts: 150 Loc: Manchester UK	Thank you, I think I might as well forget continuing this... I simply wanted feed back regarding why when I assign a value to a variable using this structure 'ignoring forms which are incidental to the question' the value was not immediately inumerated and it took two cycles for it to appear in the variable. This was not functioning 'code' just a means of watching when values appear in the variables. I have not posted a full set of code because for the numerious intertwined functions to be meaningful + to demonstrate an intermittant bug would involve several hundred lines of my project. I could not impose that on you all. My assessment of the issue is when a function is called the value it is expecting to find has not always appeared yet and hence it tries to enumerate a null and falls over. I will work on other aspects and if a simpler working example presents itself I will use that to try and seek advice and comment ! Thanks all and a close on this for the moment.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	not so much simpler is needed but proper. ? "#1=" $VARIABLE1.Text $_ = execute("$$#$TBN.Text = '2nd-Text'") ? "#2=" $VARIABLE1.Text in your example, there is nothing that really tests anything. there are many lines that are totally unrelated and thus totally meaningless. if you can whip together some lines that really focus on the execute and get a buggie boo out of there, I'd gladly read your findings. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
