Blinking Menuitem when pressing tab

[Rodger]

Hello,

I have the following code:

#include <GuiEdit.au3>

#include <GuiTab.au3>

#include <GUIComboBox.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#Include <ScrollBarConstants.au3>

Local $GUI_PCM, $msg, $aParts[6] = [165, 635, 795 , 935 ,1050, -1]

$Version = "1.0"

$Build = "18-06-2010:01"

$GUI_PCM = GUICreate("ProcessControl Manager",1235,650,-1,-1,$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW +$WS_CLIPCHILDREN + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

GUISetStyle(BitOR($WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU))

; The Menu

; Menustructure "File"

$PCMFileMenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("File")

$PCMFileMenuItem1 = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Close",$PCMFileMenu)

; Menustructure "Help"

$PCMHelpMenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("Help")

$PCMHelpMenuMenuItem1 = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Info",$PCMHelpMenu)

; Process Scheduler ChildTabs

$ProcessSchedulerChildGui = GUICreate("",1205,455,15,75,BitOr($WS_CHILD,$WS_TABSTOP),-1,$GUI_PCM)

GUISetBkColor(0x257788); just for dimensing the child

$ProcessSchedulerChildTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(0,0,1205,455)

$ProcessSchedulerChildTabItemPS1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("PS1")

$ProcessSchedulerChildTabItemPS2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("PS2")

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

; This Child is initially shown

GUISetState()

; Process Monitoring ChildTabs

$ProcessMonitoringChildGui = GUICreate("",1205,455,15,75,BitOr($WS_CHILD,$WS_TABSTOP),-1,$GUI_PCM)

$ProcessMonitoringChildTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(0,0,1205,455)

$ProcessMonitoringChildTabItemPM1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("PM1")

$ProcessMonitoringChildTabItemPM2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("PM2")

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

; The StatusBar

$hStatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create ($GUI_PCM)

_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetParts ($hStatus, $aParts,-1)

GUISwitch($GUI_PCM)

; ParentTab

$ParentTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 50, 1215, 485)

$ParentTabItemProcessScheduler = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Process Scheduler")

$ParentTabItemProcessMonitoring = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Process Monitoring")

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

$msg = 0

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $PCMFileMenuItem1

GUIDelete($GUI_PCM)

Exit

Case $msg = $PCMHelpMenuMenuItem1

Case $msg = $ParentTab

$TabIndex = GUICtrlRead($ParentTab)

Select

Case $TabIndex = 0

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ProcessMonitoringChildGui)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessSchedulerChildGui)

Case $TabIndex = 1

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ProcessSchedulerChildGui)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessMonitoringChildGui)

EndSelect

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

GUIDelete($GUI_PCM)

Exit

EndSelect

WEnd

; Resize the EditBox and status bar when GUI size changes

Func WM_SIZE($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)

_GUICtrlStatusBar_Resize ($hStatus)

Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

EndFunc ;==>WM_SIZE

Everytime I press one of the main Tabs, the menu-item "File" is blinking. How can I stop this blinking?

Thanks,

Rodger

Please use autoit tag for post your code !

I have found a way without blink :

Select
                Case $TabIndex = 0
                    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ProcessMonitoringChildGui)
                    Sleep ( 250 )
                    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessSchedulerChildGui)
                Case $TabIndex = 1
                    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ProcessSchedulerChildGui)
                    Sleep ( 250 )
                    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessMonitoringChildGui)
            EndSelect

a little Sleep ( 250 ) between states changes !

This seems to work for me:

;~      Case $ParentTab
;~          $TabIndex = GUICtrlRead($ParentTab)

;~          Switch $TabIndex
;~              Case 0
;~                  GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessSchedulerChildGui)

;~              Case 1
;~                  GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ProcessMonitoringChildGui)
;~          EndSwitch

Jaberwocky6669 is right, don't use GUISetState(@SW_HIDE and there is no blinking !
