Stored procedures
Starts the execution of a process through programming. This function is mainly used to run procedures.
For backward compatibility, the process run can also be the process of a control, window or page. In these different cases, we recommend that you use ExecuteProcess.
Example
// Run a procedure
Execute("Proced1")
// -- Click on BTN_BUTTON1 button
// Run a procedure that returns a result
Info(Execute("Double_Number", 2)) // Displays 4
// Double_Number procedure
PROCEDURE Double_Number(X)
RESULT 2*X

Running a procedure that may return a result Hide the details

<Result> = Execute(<WLanguage procedure> [, <Parameter 1> [... [, <Parameter N>]]])
<Result>: Any
Return value of procedure called. This value is identical to the value obtained if the procedure is run directly.
<WLanguage procedure>: Procedure name
Name of WLanguage procedure to run. This procedure returns a result.
<Parameter 1>: Any optional type
First optional parameter that will be passed to the procedure. These parameters are always passed by value.
<Parameter N>: Any optional type
Nth optional parameter that will be passed to the procedure. These parameters are always passed by value.

Running the process of a window (syntax kept for backward compatibility) Hide the details

Execute([<Window name>, ] <Type of process>)
<Window name>: Optional character string
Name of the window whose process must be run. If this name is not specified, the process of current window is run.
<Type of process>: Character string
Process to run:
INFOpening the window
FEFClosing the window
PRFThe window gains focus
PEFThe window loses focus

Remarks
WINDEVUniversal Windows 10 AppUser code (UMC)

Executing the event of a control or procedure from a window/page other than the current window/page

You can execute the event of a control or procedure from a window/page other than the current window/page. To do so, the control name or the procedure name must be prefixed with the name of the window (or page).
For example:
// Execute the "Click" event of the Validate button in MySibling (open window or page)
Execute("MySibling.Validate..CLI")
 
// Execute the PROC1 procedure of MySibling (open window or page)
Execute("MySibling.PROC1")
WINDEVUniversal Windows 10 AppUser code (UMC)

String passed as a parameter to Execute

The string passed to Execute as parameter cannot be a built string or a variable. You must use the string that contains the name of the control, window or page as well as the process/event to be executed.
// Correct code
Execute("Edit2..Exit")
 
// Incorrect code
i is int = 5
Execute("Edit" + i + "..Exit")
WINDEVUniversal Windows 10 AppUser code (UMC)

The arrays

The arrays are not recognized by Execute.
For example:
var_arr is array of 10 strings
// Call the MYPROC procedure with an array passed as parameter
MYPROC(var_arr)
// The following statement triggers an error
Execute("MYPROC..PRO", var_arr)
WINDEVUser code (UMC)

Opening the window/page

Execute should not be called to execute the WLanguage event to open a window/page because the global variables may be reset. In this case, use procedures instead.
WINDEVUser code (UMC)

Calling a global component procedure

Execute is used to call a global component procedure. To do so, use the following syntax:
Execute(<Component name>.<Name of set of procedures>.<Procedure name>)
Example:
Execute("MyComponent.Set_WDExample.MyProcedure")
In a thread started by a component, Execute cannot be used to call a local procedure of a window of the host project.
You must use a global procedure of the host project to call the local procedure of the window.
Component: wd290vm.dll
