Static keyword confusion

[Andy]

Code: Select all

Procedure ButtonHandler()
  Static value
  
  If value = 0
    value = 20
  EndIf
  
  ! console.log(v_value)
  
EndProcedure

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 300, 440, "Test", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 280, 30, "Click Me")
  BindGadgetEvent(0, @ButtonHandler())
EndIf

When I use the Static keywork inside a procedure where inline Javascript needs to access the static variable, Javascript complains that the variable is not defined.

Static variables have a different name in JavaScript:

prefix: "so_" (I assume this stands for static object).
plus: procedure-name
plus: $-sign
plus: variable-name

In your case: so_buttonhandler$v_value

Code: Select all

Procedure ButtonHandler()
  Static value
  
  If value = 0
    value = 20
  EndIf
  
  ! console.log(so_buttonhandler$v_value)
  
EndProcedure

Thanks Peter. Is this stuff documented anywhere?

Is this stuff documented anywhere?

The naming rules are documented here: Inline Javascript.
However, it seems to me that the static variables are missing.

Looks like arrays are also missing

You can also put a calldebugger and open the webbrowser debugger to inspect the code and see how it's named.
