Hi,
When a named integer GV is not initialized in MS-Access it picks it up as value -1218568896. So to test it for not being initialized in a Multicharts 64 bit I use the GetNamedInteger GV command and I put it in a variable and test it for <= 0 (zero). The script was failing so I put a fileappend statement in to debug it. It shows the variable is being set to value 1.
So I decided to change it to a named double. The uninitialized named double gets loaded into the variable as 0 (zero) so my script logic works.
So is what is happening when I use a named integer normal? If it is I am wondering why?
Thanks,
John

Using Global Variables depends on the DLL and the DLL version used.
We recommend you to initialize variables prior to usage, this will minimize the possibility of receiving unexpected results.
The following script will print -2.00.
If you uncomment the string below,the code will print 3.00.
We suggest you use DLL from MultiCharts package, you can check it here.

Code: Select all
once cleardebug;
DefineDLLFunc: "GlobalVariable.dll", Int, "GV_SetNamedInt", lpstr, Int;
DefineDLLFunc: "GlobalVariable.dll", Int, "GV_GetNamedInt", lpstr, Int;
//once GV_SetNamedInt("GV Time", 3.14);// init
once print(GV_GetNamedInt("GV Time", -2.79));Code: Select all
//once GV_SetNamedInt("GV Time", 3.14);// init
