Ok, so im trying to create a child gui within an adult, purely because the adult gui doesnt change, however, clicking controls on the adult gui hides/shows child guis in the same window. Im crap with explaining so heres some lovely pictures!!

Ok, this is was I WANT it to look like:

The 5 labels along the bottom are from the adult gui (the rest of the adult gui is just a white background - nothing else)

The input box and the listview are both in the child gui.

And i got that gui from this code i wrote:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)
$FRM = GUICreate("", 626, 470, -1, -1,$WS_DLGFRAME)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$LBL1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("BUT1", 24, 392, 100, 37)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"test")
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$LBL2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("BUT2", 136, 392, 139, 37)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$LBL4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("BUT4", 424, 392, 78, 37)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$LBL5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("BUT5", 528, 392, 68, 37)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$LBL3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("BUT3", 296, 392, 115, 37)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(2000)
Create()
While 1
Sleep(1000)

WEnd

Func test()

GUIDelete($FRM1)

EndFunc

Func Create()

Global $FRM1 = GUICreate("", 626, 401, 0, 0, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $FRM)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$IP = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 16, 593, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$LSTVIEW = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 8, 64, 609, 161)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

EndFunc

When i run this code, it sometimes shows the gui as above..other times (without even changing the code), it shows this:

...which is just the adult gui...i dont know why the child doesnt show?!

and sometimes it shows this:

Which ever one it "chooses" to show is completely at random, and i dont know what is up?

The fact its different most times is a little odd as there are no random variables in the script to make it so...i was just hoping someone had some insight into this..possibly a solution, and maybe to try the code out themselves to see if the same happens to you...also, if you get one of the latter two style creations..stop the execution by going tools/stop execution rather than right clicking the icon in the corner...otherwise it goes into crazy loops :).

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure but maybe this is what you want.

Thanks, but im still having the same problem...well, when i tried your code as is written there, the child opened in another window...so i added the $FRM as the parent to $FRM1, just incase youd accidently missed it off, i was getting the same problems as before.

Sometimes i would be getting it how i wanted (like in the first image) but i was getting the other styles of creation just as much...i will quickly try to just put a screen movie of what i am doing so you can have a look.

Also, have you found the gui is not always creating in the same way?

Thanks for your help..anymore is VERY welcome!! :)

The child opened in another window? Not the $FRM window?

I suspect you are using the latest Windows Haloween with service pack 666.

What happens if you try this version?

What OS are you using? (Assuming my guess was wrong.)

haha, no just your standard xp32bit, i think sp3...well, i recorded it all and whacked it on youtube...i have just tried that new bit of code you posted, and it gives out exactly the same format as the first one in the movie...youll see..

i dont know if im able to post links on this forum so just piece it back together again!

I have no idea why your system behaves like that, so I can't help :)

BTW, what did you use to make the recording?

Thanks for trying anyways!

Just some freeware called CamStudio...http://camstudio.org/

EDIT: Just tried this on my lappyt off my dusty shelf..and have had exactly the same issues...has absolutly nobody else trying either my original script or martin's improved script had the same problem as me?

Thanks everyone
