Create Sub Gui

[sw00n]

ok i have:

Func shaders()
GUICreate("Common Textures List", 500, 210, 269, 216)
$Home1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Home")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
endfunc

And it works great, but it actually opens another GUI beside it...

Is there another way to make it open within itself without making another new window in the start bar?

full code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <INet.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

GUICreate("1up Shader Maker.v1", 500, 210, 269, 216)
$input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 7, 39, 150, 20)
$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter Your Texture Path below", 6, 17, 250, 15)
$menu1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")
$open = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $menu1)
$save = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save As", $menu1)
$exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $menu1)
$help1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")
$help = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Help", $help1)
$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 200, 10, 270, 150)
$common = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Common")
$shaders = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Common Shaders", $common)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $exit
            exit1()
        Case $help
            help()
        Case $open
            open1()
        Case $save
            save()
        Case $shaders
            shaders()
        EndSwitch
WEnd

Func help()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Enter the path or your texture, default is: textures/Name Here/Name Here")
EndFunc   ;==>help

Func exit1()
    MsgBox(0, "Exiting", "Now Exiting...")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>exit1

Func open1()
    $message = ("Only Open Shaders and Text Files")
    $var = FileOpenDialog($message, @ScriptDir & "\", "List (*.shader)")
    $file = FileRead($var)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "No File(s) were selected")
    Else
        GUICtrlSetData($edit, $file)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>open1

Func save()

    $file = FileSaveDialog("Save Active Proxies", @ScriptDir, "Text Files (.shader)|All Files (*.*)", 18, "ShaderMv1.shader")
    $xFile = FileOpen($file, 8 + 2)
    FileWrite($xFile, GUICtrlRead($Input1))

EndFunc

Func shaders()
GUICreate("Common Textures List", 500, 210, 269, 216)
$Home1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Home")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
endfunc

Hi sw00n,

please try this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <INet.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

$parent = GUICreate("1up Shader Maker.v1", 500, 210, 269, 216)
$input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 7, 39, 150, 20)
$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter Your Texture Path below", 6, 17, 250, 15)
$menu1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")
$open = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $menu1)
$save = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save As", $menu1)
$exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $menu1)
$help1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")
$help = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Help", $help1)
$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 200, 10, 270, 150)
$common = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Common")
$shaders = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Common Shaders", $common)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $exit
            exit1()
        Case $help
            help()
        Case $open
            open1()
        Case $save
            save()
        Case $shaders
            shaders($parent)
        EndSwitch
WEnd

Func help()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Enter the path or your texture, default is: textures/Name Here/Name Here")
EndFunc   ;==>help

Func exit1()
    MsgBox(0, "Exiting", "Now Exiting...")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>exit1

Func open1()
    $message = ("Only Open Shaders and Text Files")
    $var = FileOpenDialog($message, @ScriptDir & "\", "List (*.shader)")
    $file = FileRead($var)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "No File(s) were selected")
    Else
        GUICtrlSetData($edit, $file)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>open1

Func save()

    $file = FileSaveDialog("Save Active Proxies", @ScriptDir, "Text Files (.shader)|All Files (*.*)", 18, "ShaderMv1.shader")
    $xFile = FileOpen($file, 8 + 2)
    FileWrite($xFile, GUICtrlRead($Input1))

EndFunc

Func shaders($parent)
GUICreate("Common Textures List", 500, 210, 269, 216,-1,-1,$parent)
$Home1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Home")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
endfunc

Made liite changes to the line where you create your first GUI, to the function call of "shaders" and to the shaders function including the GUI Create there.

You can assign a parent GUI to a new GUI.

Thank you so much for you help, i appreciate it

sw00n,

Now you are using multiple GUIs, could I recommend the Managing Multiple GUIs tutorial in the Wiki. It might save you a lot of frustration!

Just got done reading the tutorial, thank you for recommending that..

Now i have a better understanding on how to manage multiple GUIs
