Variables between windows
|
Is there any way for a child window to share a variable with a parent window? I have the variable "names" I use in the main window for hilighting names, and I send formatted output to the child window. making a complete copy of the same trigger and names list, it works. However, it will get tedious if I have to update that window manually every time I add a name to the list. The help files aren't that clear no how the windows interact with each other, so any help will be welcome.

Well, I found a way to do it...
#ALIAS (/nameadd) {#additem names %1;:famwin:#additem names %1}
updates both variables at once. I would still like to hear if anyone knows how the windows can share 1 variable list in the main window. |

Play with the dot notation, I believe:
#SH @famwin.names
will show the value of the variable names in window famwin.

Look at the help, contents page Settings...Variables, and you will find what TonDiening said. You also might want to look at the #GVAR command and the %getglobal and %setglobal functions.
