msgbox

[Richard 0]

Isn't it so that a messagebox should block of all other window manipulations until closed?

In the following example code the button can be clicked while the messagebox is present, creating several instances of the msgbox.

How can this be avoided?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$a = GUICreate("Hello World", 300, 200)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hello world! How are you?", 30, 10)

$b= GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 70, 50, 60)

$c = GUICtrlCreateButton("quit", 170, 50, 60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()

  Select
  Case $msg =$b
      MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You pressed OK!")
      
    Case $msg = $c
      MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
      ExitLoop  

    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
      MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
      ExitLoop
  EndSelect
WEnd

It does block them... Instead they are sent to the queue, so when the MsgBox finishes it then executes the next. If you want to stop that the just disable the GUI while the MsgBox is showing:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$a = GUICreate("Hello World", 300, 200)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hello world! How are you?", 30, 10)

$b = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 70, 50, 60)

$c = GUICtrlCreateButton("quit", 170, 50, 60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $b
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You pressed OK!")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)

        Case $msg = $c
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)
            ExitLoop

        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

this seems to work too:

msgbox(8192,"NOTICE",$sp[1])

It does block them... Instead they are sent to the queue, so when the MsgBox finishes it then executes the next. If you want to stop that the just disable the GUI while the MsgBox is showing:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$a = GUICreate("Hello World", 300, 200)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hello world! How are you?", 30, 10)

$b = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 70, 50, 60)

$c = GUICtrlCreateButton("quit", 170, 50, 60)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $b
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You pressed OK!")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)

        Case $msg = $c
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)
            ExitLoop

        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE)
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

With this code there is still a strange behaviour.

When clicking OK on the first button, the window closes. Why?

Just use all parameters for MsgBox(). In your case, for e.g. OK:

MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You pressed OK!", 0, $a)

thanks, this solves the problem, also for inputbox
