Incorrect "VarSetCapacity" translation

Question

Incorrect "VarSetCapacity" translation

Opened this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

VarSetCapacity(UTF8, StrPut(Str, "UTF-8"), 0) ; old
UTF8:=BufferAlloc(StrPut(Str,"UTF-8"),0) ; new (incorrect)
UTF8 := Buffer(StrPut(Str, "UTF-8"), 0) ; should be this

v2 Error: This variable appears to never be assigned a value (Specifically: local BufferAlloc)

See: https://lexikos.github.io/v2/docs/objects/Buffer.htm#Call

hmmm, I'm using ahk_H v2,
it's BufferAlloc()
and ahk_L v2, it's Buffer()
thankfully, they're very similar

I could add an option so the user chooses : AHK_H or AHK_L
is there a better way than adding this as a true/false parameter ?

@jNizM , so in this website https://fupeijiang.github.io/ahk_parser.js/
which UI do you want to use to choose between AHK_H or AHK_L ?

toggle ? https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_switch.asp
toggle with text inside ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39846282/how-to-add-the-text-on-and-off-to-toggle-button#39846603
checkbox ? https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_checkbox
HOTKEY : ^g ? I see myself using hotkey (javascript addEventListener)
2 buttons : convert to AHK_H and convert to AHK_L, hmmm, this looks good : minimal input from user
I could save state and use this to show which version it's converting to (when you paste into it without using button)

Like the 2 Buttons you got. But put them over the Inputboxes.

After press the Buttons the default inputbox-text should change to from ahk-h to ahk-l
After pressing your background changed from white to black. Make also a Button for Light and Night Theme.

But put them over the Inputboxes.

wdym by "over the inputboxes" ?

After press the Buttons the default inputbox-text should change to from ahk-h to ahk-l

done, now the hotkey is : ^+f to change AHK version.

Make also a Button for Light and Night Theme.

I think it looks good for both, white background: grey button on white, black background: white button on black.
idrk how to theme though

you change the theme and screenshot ? and send me colors HEX ? or tell me how should be themed ? I'll try if I like it more
