'queryregistry(regKey)' causes "Handler: can't find han

[verlsnake]

I have created the following button handler code:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
    put "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KaiSoft" into regKey 
    queryregistry(regKey)
    put queryregistry(regKey) into regValue
    answer regValue
end mouseUp

Running it, causes the following error message:

Type Handler: can't find handler
Object Button
Line queryregistry(regKey)
Hint queryregistry

I have used the smallest example 'queryregistry(regKey)' first because it is along the lines of the dictionary examples; since I have not yet totally foxed myself into RR, I thought 'queryregistry' is really not found/available; and have therefore done considerable research; without success ... By chance I have then added the line with the return value of 'queryregistry' actually put into a variable; and outcommented the "naked" 'queryregistry' invocation. And yes: Now it runs like a charm !

In this case the question seems to be viable: Is this a feature or a bug ? If it is a feature, the error message should be more explanative. If it is a bug, I ask myself if it occurs for other functions/commands/handlers, too ?

P.S.: Where should supposed buggy behaviour be posted to in the RR community ?

"queryregistry" is a function, so you have to "get" or "put" the returned value into something!
You used it like a handler and that's why the engine complained!

This should work as exspected:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo 
    put "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KaiSoft" into regKey 
    put queryregistry(regKey) into regValue 
    answer regValue 
end mouseUp

Hope this helps.
