Can anybody tell me please what is wrong with this expression?
WHILE MouseClick() != 1 AND (xm < x1dr OR xm > x2dr OR ym < y1dr OR ym > y2dr)
ENDWHILE

The error I get is:
Could not determine parameter type of '() !' at line 32.

I couldn't find anything related to complex expressions so far.

Hi DynamicLink. I think the problem is that you are useing != for does not equal, but in DBP, does not equal is <>. Therefore you code should look something like this.

Hope that helps.

another question: when i write something like NOT(bool1 AND bool2 AND ... AND booln) it says "variable 'NOT' does not exist in program". how can i make complex boolean expressions with not?

Basically I think the issue is that you need a space between the not and the brackets. So for example, this works:

and this doesn't:

I don't know for sure but I think the issue is that if you put the bracket next to the not, it looks to the compiler like an array and thus is reports that not is not a variable in the program. Hope that helps.
