Problem with multiple guis


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a script that works on its own but will not work if its included into another script with its own gui.

Here's the code that works on its own

Global $button

OtherScript()

Func OtherScript()
        UnrelatedFunction()
        MakeAChoice()
        AnotherUnrelatedFunction()
endfunc

Func MakeAChoice()
    $Gui2 = GUICreate("Please make your choice", 200, 100)
    $ButtonA = GUICtrlCreateButton("A", 20, 50, 60)
    $ButtonB = GUICtrlCreateButton("B", 90, 50, 60)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonA , "ButtonTypeA")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonB, "ButtonTypeB")
    While $button = ""
        Sleep(50)
    WEnd
    GUIDelete($Gui2)
    Return
EndFunc

Func ButtonTypeA()
    $button = "A"
EndFunc

Func ButtonTypeB()
    $button = "B"
EndFunc

And this is what calls it in the other gui

$GoToOtherScript = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("OtherScript", $toolsmenu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GoToOtherScript , "OtherScript")

Running the script in autoit debugger shows the script idling in the while loop(never entering a button function), and entering in GUIonchangeRegister whenever I click the a button. I tried to user GuiSwitch() and various changes on the loop but I alway get the same results.

What you have shown looks ok except that you do not have

Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1)

Maybe that is the problem.

Thanks,

Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1) is set at the top of both files so that shouldn't be the issue.

I should have noticed before but in my defence you have made it a little difficult by not posting some code we can run. This is what I think you are doing;

clicking a menu item: that causes an event which runs the function OtherScript: in that function you do various things including setting new events when a button is clicked.

It won't work because events are queued and the event for the button won't be actioned untill you return from OtherScript.

This is what I think you need to do-

;some code to create the first gui
$GoToOtherScript = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("OtherScript", $toolsmenu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GoToOtherScript , "OtherScriptA")

; other stuff
Global $CallOther = False
while 1;your idle loop

 if $CallOther then
 $CallOther = False
 OtherScript()
 endif
wend


Func OtherScriptA()
 $CallOther = True
EndFunc
