Select Case Break

[ybouan]

The way the select...case keyword work is exactly like an If...ElseIf the only difference is the wording.

From the official doc: "If the expression is true the following statements up to the next Case or EndSelect statement are executed. If more than one of the Case statements are true, only the first one is executed."

I think it would be a lot more usefull to have it work more like a GOTO with the introduction of the word BREAK. The docs would then read

"If the expression is true the following statements up to the next BREAK or EndSelect statement are executed. If more than one of the Case statements are true, only the first one is executed."

It is a subtle difference but would be so neat.

PS: I certainly won' t (can't) make the change myself so don' t ask :-)

Not a problem. I wasnt saying it as if you should have searched and not posted :-D. I was just letting you know there are some good discussions about it on here some where, in case you felt like looking it up.

In the search criteria, just make sure you have all forums selected. It could have been in the chat forum I think.

Take a look at the ContinueCase command in the beta and see if this does what you want.
