Hi,
is it possible to let a vds script produce a returncode
which i can read on another script using @RETCODE() ?

I don't think so. The @retcode() function reads the
exit code from a program that's written into the code,
such as "return 0;" in C/C++. VDS doesn't have a
function or command to set an exit code that I know
of. I've not found @retcode() to be very dependable
anyway...
You can save a value to a file or registry key (or even
the clipboard, but that's kinda risky) and read it from
another VDS program though. 
You can also pass and accept command parameters
with VDS...
Cheers, Mac

You could also have a look at the VDSMEM.DLL - it lets you share variables between different
VDS programs. So you can have one program set a variable that can be read and used by another
program.

If you would really want to set the DOS errorlevel from your VDS script, you can terminate
them using the VDSEXIT DLL contained in the VDSDLL 3. |

Hi All,
Or you can do it with the GadgetX.dll like so
| Code: |
Title Set Exit code
Rem This example shows how you can use gadget to call ExitProcess
rem from kernel32.dll to return an exit code
rem for your programs.
rem
rem First compile this code in VDS to an exe
rem Then run another script to call the exe that you just compiled
rem Use something like this in the calling script
rem RUN SetExitCode.EXE,wait
rem info Return code was @retcode()
rem
External GadgetX.dll,5.0
#DEFINE COMMAND,DEFINE,FREEDLL,SET,CALL
#DEFINE FUNCTION,LOADDLL,GET,CALL
Define Variable,HANDLE,kernel32
Set kernel32,@LoadDll(kernel32.dll)
Define Function,,NULL,kernel32,ExitProcess,ExitProcess,Long|uExitCode
DIALOG CREATE,Set Exit Code,-1,0,222,172
DIALOG ADD,RADIO,RADIO1,30,72,80,90,Exit Code,0|1|2|256,Value 0
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,TEXT1,12,24,172,13,Choose an exit code for this program
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,CLOSE,136,78,64,24,&CLOSE
DIALOG SHOW
:evloop
wait event
%E = @event()
if %E
goto %E
End
goto evloop
:CLOSEBUTTON
:CLOSE
Call ExitProcess,@dlgtext(RADIO1)
Exit
|
Anyway isn't it nice to have options
