You should put some value after your EXIT statement, else the next expression gets evaluated along with the exit (in this case, the MessageBox function), so do this: Exit 0 -Shawn

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	ah go ahead and write one, not much else going on today ;0) ... Hans, another thing you might do is "silence-up" those MessageBox functions, so that you don't get those odd 1's and 0's printing on your console, like this: $= MessageBox ("second","test") There is a FAQ written on that btw. -Shawn

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Hi Hans, Even though GOTO and GOSUB are supported by KiXtart, in my opinion it would be better to craft your code so as to avoid the usage of those commands. Something like this would only run when it was called and should end properly. Code: Dim $TestMsg $TestMsg=DisplayMsg('This is a test of the message box from KiXtart') If $TestMsg=1 ? 'User selected OK' Else ? 'User selected CANCEL' EndIf Function DisplayMsg($Message) Dim $Msg,$MsgErr $Msg=MessageBox($Message, 'Testing', 65) $MsgErr=@ERROR $DisplayMsg=$MsgErr EndFunction Edited by NTDOC (2004-11-22 09:51 PM)

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Eh... Shawn made me do it! Speaking of FAQs... when will we see an update to the FAQ/UDF CHM? I even found you one of those round tuit thingies. http://www.myrtlewoodgallery.com/get_a_round_tuit.htm I know the round ones must be rare but I think this guy has a good supply. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	hmmm, nice FAQ there Les ... just one comment though ... you used a simple example through-out your discussion, then at the end of it (your last example), you kinda re-worked the whole thing and threw in a UDF and kinda obscured the whole thing. Just my opinion. two cents ... thought just showing the original sample with EXIT 0 would have been clearer.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Me thinks you either skimmed over it too quickly, or I wrote it too vague. The third example was a digression... showing the "other" use for EXIT. That's what I get for trying to make the FAQ into a swiss army knife. BTW, I tried to click on the HansP name but it no worky. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
