Usar funciones en lugar de etiquetas.

Observaciones

Ejemplo muy básico que demuestra el uso de funciones en SetTimer.

;Sends the keystroke for the letter "a" every 3 seconds.
#Persistent
SetTimer, SendLetterA, 3000
return

SendLetterA() {
    Send, a
}

Uso avanzado de SetTimer: llamar a la misma función con diferentes parámetros

Este es un ejemplo de algo que hubiera sido imposible con las etiquetas. Si ejecuta la misma etiqueta varias veces al mismo tiempo y dependen de las variables que se están definiendo dentro de ellas, es muy probable que interfieran y causen un comportamiento inesperado.

Aquí está cómo hacerlo con funciones:

; This script will switch between showing "Hello 1" and "Hello 2"

#Persistent
DisplayMessage_Hello1 := Func("DisplayMessage").bind("Hello 1")
SetTimer, %DisplayMessage_Hello1%, 2000

Sleep, 1000

DisplayMessage_Hello2 := Func("DisplayMessage").bind("Hello 2")
SetTimer, %DisplayMessage_Hello2%, 2000

DisplayMessage(messageToDisplay) {
    TrayTip ; remove other traytips
    TrayTip, Message to display:, %messageToDisplay%
}

Aquí es cómo no hacerlo (con etiquetas):

;This script will never display the message "Hello 1". It will always show "Hello 2".

#Persistent
messageToDisplay := "Hello 1"
SetTimer, DisplayMessage, 2000

Sleep, 1000

messageToDisplay := "Hello 2"
SetTimer, DisplayMessage, 2000

DisplayMessage:
    TrayTip ; remove other traytips
    TrayTip, Message to display:, %messageToDisplay%
Return

Gui con funciones en lugar de etiquetas.

Ejemplo que muestra cómo crear Guis usando funciones en lugar de etiquetas.

Gui, Add, Button, gCtrlEvent vButton1, Button 1
Gui, Add, Button, gCtrlEvent vButton2, Button 2
Gui, Add, Button, gGoButton, Go Button
Gui, Add, Edit, vEditField, Example text
Gui, Show,, Functions instead of labels

CtrlEvent(CtrlHwnd:=0, GuiEvent:="", EventInfo:="", ErrLvl:="") {
    GuiControlGet, controlName, Name, %CtrlHwnd%
    MsgBox, %controlName% has been clicked!
}
GoButton(CtrlHwnd:=0, GuiEvent:="", EventInfo:="", ErrLvl:="") {
    GuiControlGet, EditField
    MsgBox, Go has been clicked! The content of the edit field is "%EditField%"!
}

GuiClose(hWnd) {
    WinGetTitle, windowTitle, ahk_id %hWnd%
    MsgBox, The Gui with title "%windowTitle%" has been closed!
    ExitApp
}

Teclas rápidas con funciones en lugar de etiquetas.

Ejemplos de uso de funciones con teclas de acceso rápido:

Hotkey, a, MyFunction ; Calls MyFunction() when a is pressed

MyFunction() {
    MsgBox You pressed %A_ThisHotkey%.
}

O:

a::MyFunction()

MyFunction() {
    MsgBox You pressed %A_ThisHotkey%.
}

Bandeja de acciones de menú con funciones.

#Persistent

Menu, Tray, NoStandard ; remove default tray menu entries
Menu, Tray, Add, MyDefaultAction, OnDefaultTrayAction ; add a new tray menu entry
Menu, Tray, Add, Exit, Exit ; add another tray menu entry
Menu, Tray, Default, MyDefaultAction ;When doubleclicking the tray icon, run the tray menu entry called "MyDefaultAction".


OnDefaultTrayAction() {
    MsgBox, You double clicked the tray icon of this script or you clicked the MyDefaultAction entry!
}

Exit() {
    MsgBox, You clicked the Exit entry! The script will close itself now.
    ExitApp
}

Ejemplo general de funciones vs etiquetas

Demostraré el uso básico del uso de funciones frente al uso de etiquetas + gosub.
En este ejemplo, implementaremos una funcionalidad simple para agregar dos números y almacenarlos en una variable.

Con funciones:

c := Add(3, 2) ; function call
MsgBox, Result: %c%

Add(a, b) { ; This is a function. Put it wherever you want, it doesn't matter.
    ; the a and b inside of this function are set by the function call above
    Return a+b ; the function will return the result of the expression "a+b"
}

Con etiquetas (por favor no hagas eso):

a := 3 
b := 2 
GoSub, Add ; execute the label "Add" then jump back to the next line here
MsgBox, Result: %c%
Return ; without this, the label would be executed again for no reason.

Add: ; This is a label. Please put them at the bottom of your script and use "Return" in a line above.
    c := a+b
Return

OnClipboardCambiar con fucntion / label

El siguiente código está tomado de la documentación oficial de AutoHotkey:

Implementación de la función:

#Persistent
OnClipboardChange("ClipChanged")
return

ClipChanged(Type) {
    ToolTip Clipboard data type: %Type%
    Sleep 1000
    ToolTip  ; Turn off the tip.
}

Implementación de la etiqueta:

#Persistent
return

OnClipboardChange:
ToolTip Clipboard data type: %A_EventInfo%
Sleep 1000
ToolTip  ; Turn off the tip.
return

Ejemplo de Gui más complicado con múltiples vistas de lista que utilizan la misma función de devolución de llamada de eventos

Esta secuencia de comandos muestra cómo recibir eventos complicados de GUI de diferentes controles en la misma función de devolución de llamada de eventos. Usaremos dos controles ListView para eso.
Ahora, cada vez que se detecta una acción en uno de esos controles ListView, queremos una descripción precisa de lo que sucedió y tenemos que iniciar sesión en un control de edición en la misma GUI.

Gui, Add, ListView, gListCtrlEvent vMyFirstListView AltSubmit -ReadOnly R10 w310, ColumnTitle1|ColumnTitle2|ColumnTitle3
Gui, Add, ListView, gListCtrlEvent vMySecondListView AltSubmit -ReadOnly R10 w310, ColumnTitle1|ColumnTitle2|ColumnTitle3
Gui, Add, Text, w310, Action Log
Gui, Add, Edit, vLog R7 w310, 
Gui, Show,, Functions instead of labels

; Create example entries for the first ListView
Gui, ListView, MyFirstListView
Loop, 10 {
    LV_Add("", "Column-1 | Row-" A_Index ,  "Column-2 | Row-" A_Index,  "Column-3 | Row-" A_Index)
}
LV_ModifyCol()

; Create example entries for the second ListView
Gui, ListView, MySecondListView
Loop, 10 {
    LV_Add("", "Column-1 | Row-" A_Index ,  "Column-2 | Row-" A_Index,  "Column-3 | Row-" A_Index)
}
LV_ModifyCol()
