Global Variables

from Stardock Forums

Is it possible to declare 'Global' variables somewhere in DX so all objects have access to the variables?  I know you can Dim variables at the head of an object's script that will be visible to all subroutines in the objects script.  How about for DX itself?

I want to Dim a variable, Dim Color for example, and set the states of other multiple objects based on the value of Color. 

Is this possible?  If so, how.

Thanks.

Yes and no. By default if your variable is declared external to a sub or function than it is global to that script.

You can reference that script from a script in the calling object using the DesktopX ScriptObject namespace or do everything from one main script.

IMO the best way is to use one main script but, you need to make sure all the objects are children of the main script object. You would use something like below to do states.

Code: vbscript
  2. 'Called on selected object state changes
  3. Function Object_OnStateChangeEx(obj,state)
  4. With DesktopX
  5. Select Case obj.name
  6. Case "object1"
  7. If state= "Mouse over" Then
  8. ElseIf state= "Mouse away" Then
  9. ElseIf state= "Mouse down" Then
  10. ElseIf state= "Mouse up" Then
  11. ElseIf state="Command executed" Then
  12. End If
  13. End Select
  14. End With
  15. End Function
