Starting the function of the variable value

[Eugene Lutsenko]

How to run on the execution of the function, the name of which is given in the form of a variable value?

I do not understand your question. Please clarify.

[Eugene Lutsenko]

For example, the program has a function: F1_8(). There are variable: mFunct = "F1_8()". Usually this function to start the program I am writing: F1_8(). And how do I start it for execution with the function name as a variable value mFunct? @mFunct why something does not work.

Code: Select all

&mFunct

This is me at once and tried. Somehow, when you compile the message: "error XBT0250: Incomplete expression"

"F1_8()" can't be a STATIC function if you try to do this.

[rdonnay]

Show the exact code.

This works:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION Main()
cTest := "MyFunc()"
&(cTest)
RETURN nil

FUNCTION MyFunc()
  MsgBox('Test')
RETURN nil

Thank you, Tom!
Live and learn! About the fact that you need to write a function name in parenthesis, I never would have guessed. Or rather, I remembered that so you can do with the files, but never did so with the function name. And there is still a macro substitution. Such a design I had never used, but now I will, because it is very convenient in some cases. And most importantly - works great!

[rdonnay]

I forgot the parenthesis. Sorry.

BTW - Here is how you pass local parameters to a macro-compiled function:

Code: Select all

&(myFunc)(a,b,c,d)
