Using a functions from multiple tab screen

[GNGNUT]

Hi, guys 

 

I'm in need of a little advice , help with my coding, 

I currently have 10 tab Gui  pages 1-9 all have the same screen layout, 

on these screens i have a button that needs to access a function to do some workings out, 

but I don't want to have to copy this out 9 times all with different variable names 

is there a way to use a function that can be accessed by multiple screens ?

working outs is done within the script 

but the output from this goes to tab one if button on tab one is used 

and so on for the 9 screens, 

sorry if this has been answered before or if im not looking at the correct sections of the help file, 

if your able to help or even point me to the correct section that tells me how to share a function accorss that would be great

GNGNUT,

If you are using MessageLoop mode then you can easily set several button ControlIDs to fire the same function - something like this:

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cBut_Tab0, $cBut_Tab1, $cBut_Tab2, $cBut_Tab3, $cBut_Tab4, $cBut_Tab5
            _Common _Function()
    EndSwitch

WEnd

If you are using OnEvent mode, then just link all the buttons to the same function:

$cBut_Tab0 = GUICtrlCreateButton(....)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($cBut_Tab0, "_Common_Function")
$cBut_Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateButton(....)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($cBut_Tab1, "_Common_Function")

All clear?

Using the (message loop)

and It makes sense,

But one Stupid question,

if I press button one and goto said function to get my result -

how can I store / set this on the Tab window from which I entered the function,

mybe I'm trying to over complicate my thinking, or I'm just old and stupid ..

GNGNUT,

When you press a key and enter the function, use GUICtrlRead on the Tab control - that will return the tab index and allow you to determine which one is active.

Thank you for your help Melba23
