You can't unless you use the global keyword to define the variable.

[simple kelp]

well ur defining Cwindow inside a lambda's scope

[humble perch]

In this case, the variable is local and only accessible inside the function.

[echo stone]

yes ikr
how do i use global inside lamda

[simple kelp]

So imo just use a regular function instead of a lambda

[simple kelp]

you cannot

[humble perch]

Although not recommended, you can use the global keyword to summon the variable. I don't know if it will work.

[humble perch]

Oh yeah.

[ashen zealot]

nonlocal is better.

[humble perch]

Lambda expressions only allows you 1 line of code.

[ashen zealot]

global requires your shared variable to be in the global (module) scope.

[humble perch]

In this case, I'd rather recommend defining the variable before everything.

[ashen zealot]

nonlocal will find it in any enclosing scope.

Can't use either in a lambda.

[humble perch]

@echo stone So... what will you pick?

Oh wait there's no choice

[echo stone]

maybe a regular function

[humble perch]

Just define the variable before everything.

[simple kelp]

W

[ashen zealot]

You could make Cwindow an attribute of some shared object. You can set the attribute.

[simple kelp]

I don't think lambdas can alter variables in the global scope..

[humble perch]

NOO

[echo stone]

i didnt knew nonlocal was a thing

[humble perch]

Okay gotta have dinner

[humble perch]

Me neither

ok bye fr

[simple kelp]

It is not used very often

[ashen zealot]

[echo stone]
