Managing multiple lock/unlock screen

Post by jmburnod » Tue May 30, 2017 10:48 pm

Managing lock screen

To avoid a lock/unlock screen not expected I use this

Hi All,
To avoid a lock/unlock screen not expected I use this

Code: Select all

on mymessage
  if not the lockScreen then
      put 0 into tLS 
      lock screen
   else
      put 1 into tLS
   end if
....
....
  if tLS = 0 then  unlock screen
end myMessage
Is there a more elegant way to do that ?
Best regards
Jean-Marc

Depends upon what is 'elegant' ...
Here is an at least shorter variant.

Code: Select all

on myMessage
  put not the lockscreen into tLS
  if tLS then lock screen
  ....
  if tLS then unlock screen
end myMessage
shiftLock happens

Hi Herman,
Thanks again
Your variant is more elegant than mine for me.
One criteria is indeed the num of lines
for the same goal.
