Post functions don't recognize menu variables

[waynecd]

Hi,

Help would be appreciated with a fix to this sample code. I would like to use the "edit studies" to select for printing or not printing to the "output window" (Alert.addToList) from "post function" code but nothing I have tried works.

Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
var aFPArray = new Array();

function preMain(){

setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("TestScript");
setCursorLabelName("TestIt", 0);

var x=0;

aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "vTextOutput", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
with( aFPArray[x++] ) {
setName( "Print Text Output" );
setDefault( false );
}

}


function main(vTextOutput) {

var nState=getBarState();
if (nState=BARSTATE_ALLBARS){
TestFunction();
}
}

function TestFunction()
...
...
if (vAler = true){
Alert.addToList("Don't Print this"));
}
}

In order for it to work you need to pass the parameter vTextOutput to the function TestFunction when you are calling it. Also that function must include in its arguments the parameter (as you will use it in the conditional statement). The enclosed revision of your script should now work

var aFPArray = new Array(); 

function preMain(){

    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("TestScript");
    setCursorLabelName("TestIt", 0);

    var x=0; 

    aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "vTextOutput", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN); 
    with( aFPArray[x++] ) { 
    setName( "Print Text Output" ); 
    setDefault( false ); 
    } 
}

function main(vTextOutput) {

    var nState=getBarState();
    if (nState=BARSTATE_ALLBARS){
    TestFunction(vTextOutput);//added parameter 
    }
}

function TestFunction(vAler){//added parameter and curly bracket

    if (vAler == true){//changed to == from =
        Alert.addToList("Don't Print this");//removed additional closing bracket
    }
}

Thanks

Alex,

Thanks so much. I thought I had tried that but I obviously did something wrong because it works fine with your input.

I'll be more careful with syntax in my examples.
