Switch/ Case Compile error [SOLVED]

Hello

I'm trying to use the Switch / Case function to replace a series of "IF Then" in my code. No success yet..

The condition where price need to be between two values is causing me problem

Case <= Button_3_High and >= Button_3_Low : Button_3 = true;

Code: Select all


If vClickBarNbr = barnumber + maxbarsback then begin 

	        HighestPrice = Getappinfo(aiHighestDispValue);

   		Lowestprice = Getappinfo(aiLowestDispValue);

   	         UpperPart = HighestPrice - (.1 * (HighestPrice-LowestPrice));

        	  LowerPart = HighestPrice - (.90 * (HighestPrice-LowestPrice));

        	  Button_3_High = highestprice - ((HighestPrice-Lowestprice) *.45); 

        	  Button_3_Low = HighestPrice - ((HighestPrice-lowestprice) *.55);

        		

        	  Switch	(vclickprice) begin            

        	        Case >= upperpart : Button_1 = true ;

   		        Case <= Lowerpart : Button_5 = true;

        	        Case <= Button_3_High and >= Button_3_Low : Button_3 = true;

                  end;  

 end;

To my knowledge it is not possible to use logical operators in case conditions. Although the EasyLanguage Essentials guide suggests otherwise.

Hello arjfca,

The only way to acheive your goal is to separate cases.

Switch (vclickprice) begin
Case >= upperpart : Button_1 = true;
Case <= Lowerpart : Button_5 = true;
Case <= Button_3_High : Button_3 = true;
Case >= Button_3_Low : Button_3 = true;
end;

Hello arjfca,

Switch (vclickprice) begin
Case >= upperpart : Button_1 = true;
Case <= Lowerpart : Button_5 = true;
Case <= Button_3_High : Button_3 = true;
Case >= Button_3_Low : Button_3 = true;
end;

OK
I had resolved my need by using a series of IF.

This Switch Case function was to be use to determine my Button status, so in my need I can't use your proposition

Happy New Year Roman
