Hotkey popup window "doink" alert quandry

[MilesAhead]

Just wondering if anyone ran into this behavior. I set a hotkey to a function that displays a gui. In the gui function I use HotKeySet right after the gui is displayed to disable the hotkey(so the same popup window won't be opened again) and after the form is destroyed, I use HotKeySet to enable the hotkey again.

I can pop the window up and down all day, no "doink" but, if I do the _About() function which displays a customized gui, which likewise disables and enables the same hotkey, once I have put that window up once, every time I use the hotkey to open the main popup window from then on, I get "doink" Window alert.

Seems like I only get this on Vista64 SP1. I'm running the same program on Windows 7 32 bit, no doink!!!

hello,

maybe you could do this with "if winexists... then..." in the hotkeyfunction?

then you dont need to unset and set the hotkey.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it.
