Hi,
RB 5.5.4. Forgive me but I feel the need for a goto statement.
I have a calculate, Clear and a Send pushbuttonn. I want to have a
gosub at the start of the send routine and a goto at the end of the
clear routine to be sure that calculate has been done. One work
around would be to trap this with an error message box but that
seems like the hard way.
After a lot of looking I have added to the end of the "Clear"
routine the command "goto calculatecode".
And at the start of the "Send routine" I have added the line gosub
calculatecode. And at the start of the Calculate routine I have
added the line "calculatecode: // label to jump to".
Now when I run the formally working program I get the error
"Internal compiler error in window1.Clear_Button: Dim Me As
Pushbutton".
Trying gosub in place of goto gets the error "This method or
property does not exist".
I've looked all over the web and my book "REALbasic Cross Platform
Application Development". Obviously I'm missing something here.
Where else can I go to find the correct way to do this?
Skip the GOSUB and GOTO
In send make sure Calculate has been done by writing
Calculate
which causes that routine (Calculate) to run (assuming Calculate
requires no parameters)
Same at the end of Clear
GOSUB is not used any more, you just use the name of the method.
GOTO is mostly never required and should be avoided in 99.9% of all
cases where you think you need it.
