Hi,

I have two windows win1, win2.

in win2 i have declared function
string f1(string) - returns string, and have one string parameter

is it possible to call this f1 function from win1 and get its result?
I can call f1 with syntax: win2:#NOOP f1("test");
But I don't know if it is possible to get it result.

Second question is, if it is possible to call this function with parameter which is local win1 variable.

win1 function:

$var1 = "test";
win2:#NOOP f1($var1);

But function is not called (probably no parameter is set because variable is local?)

The short answer is: no. What you want to do is set up a separate package, containing the function. This package should then be loaded into the session. Any other triggers, functions, and variables that you want to be shared by both windows should also go into this secondary package. Variables that are specific to each window should stay within that window.
