Control keyword parameters

[agraham]

Although not strictly a bug this works in the IDE. obj is a Door library object.

name = "Sbar"
sort = "Scrollbar"
obj.Value = Control(name, Scrollbar).ControlRef
or
obj.Value = Control(name, "Scrollbar").ControlRef
or
obj.Value = Control(name, sort).ControlRef

but when optimised compiled Basic4ppc accepts

name = "Sbar"
sort = "Scrollbar"
obj.Value = Control(name, Scrollbar).ControlRef
or
obj.Value = Control(name, "Scrollbar").ControlRef
but not
obj.Value = Control(name, sort).ControlRef

It would be nice it the optimising compiler could also accept a variable as a parameter even if it meant losing

obj.Value = Control(name, Scrollbar).ControlRef

Also a slightly related anomaly. ControlType for a library control returns Namespace.Type whereas Basic4ppc only knows it as Type.

It will be fixed so the behavior will be the same. The optimized compiler must know the control type during compilation so it is not possible to use a variable as the type.
