Hello:

I have lots of lines of code on OnSelect button event. I would like to exit event, preventing executing the rest of event code if one condition is vàlid. Is it possible? How can implement that without having a big If condition that includes all? Does a specific instruction exist to accomplish it?

Thank you very much.

Example

line of code 1

line of code 2

line of code 3

If condition - If is valid exit event and not execute following lines of code

line of code 4

line of code 5

line of code 6

line of code 7

line of code 8

line of code 9

line of code 10

....

You could "Cheat" to get it done.
you would still need an If statement but instead of using the whole code, you could make it set a variable:
If(valid.Event=true, Set(varContinue,false),Set(varContinue,true))
this variable you could put as default in a toggle for example
//Default Property of your toggle varContinue

In your onCheck Property of the toggle you could put the rest of your Code:
//OnCheck property line of code 4 line of code 5 line of code 6 ... Set(varContinue,false)

of course you wouldn't want to have an extra toggle somewhere where everybody can see it. you can either put the visible property to false or position it 'outside" of your screen so only you can see it when editing

@francescjp ,

You can't exit the code directly in the code without If statement or some sort of a workaround.

Hello:

I have found this solution that is near what @DBO_DV explained. It would be included in OnSelect event:

Set(varContinue, true);

// first part of code;

// Verify condition and update variable
If(
Condition1=false && varContinue, Set(varContinue, false) && Notify("Condition1 not passed", NotificationType.Error) );

// Use variable to decide if continue executing
If(
varContinue,
// second part of code );

//REPEAT THE SAME PART WITH NEW PORTION OF CODE
// Verify condition and update variable
If(
Condition2=false && varContinue, Set(varContinue, false) && Notify("Condition2 not passed", NotificationType.Error) );

// Use variable to decide if continue executing
If( varContinue,
// third part of code );

//REPEAT THE SAME PART WITH NEW PORTION OF CODE
....

Thank you very much.

Hey @francescjp,

Isn’t that exactly what you didn’t want to do have everything in a big if condition? Now it will still run through everything. But if that solves your question I must have not understood you properly.
