Variable parameters number in User lib functions

Hi,

This question is for Fred or Danilo, but if anybody else has an answer, I'll be glad to hear it. The question is: how can I make a User library function accept a variable parameter number, like StrF() or CallCOM()?

Thanks a lot. Bye,

Just use the following syntax in your .DESC:

Code: Select all

AddGadgetItem, Long, Long, String, [Long],            (#Gadget, Position, Text$ [, ImageID]) - Add an item to a gadget (ListView, ComboBox etc...)
None | DebuggerCheck

And build 2 functions:

PB_AddGadgetItem : This one takes 3 parameters
PB_AddGadgetItem2 : This one takes 4 parameters

If you need more optional parameter, it's possible:

Code: Select all

CallFunction, Long, String, [Long], [Long], [Long]...

Then you will have:

PB_CallFunction : 2 params
PB_CallFunction2 : 3 params
PB_CallFunction3 : 4 params
....

And you can even group optionnal params:

TestFunction, Long, [Long, Long], [Long]...

You will have:

PB_TestFunction: 1 param
PB_TestFunction2: 3 params
PB_TestFunction3: 4 params

I hope this help !

I explained all this some time ago by e-mail
and it should be clear how to use it.
Remember?

I'm very sorry, I don't remember that e-mail. I must have overlooked it. Sorry to waste your time, I promise I'll remember how to code the Desc file now

Thanks,
