problems with the way autoit that i shouldnt have?

[lionfaggot]

func _msgcls()

if WinExists("poop", "") = 1 Then

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)

EndIf

endif

endfunc

when i compile it tells me $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE isnt declared, but i dunno why i should have to declare this when its you know, $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE isnt a variable

is this a bug i found or am i doing something wrong?

$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE is a variable. This variable is defined in another file. This file is called an include. You can use includes with the #include directive. The file you need to include is called GUIConstantsEx.au3. Your code should contain this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

And just in case you don't know, it should be at the top. Just like all the GUI examples.

Hi lionfaggot,

#include-once

; #INDEX# =======================================================================================================================
; Title .........: GUIConstantsEx
; AutoIt Version : 3.2
; Language ......: English
; Description ...: Constants to be used in GUI applications.
; Author(s) .....: Jpm, Valik
; Dll ...........:
; ===============================================================================================================================

; #CONSTANTS# ===================================================================================================================
; Events and messages
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE = -3

$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE is a Constant.

just include GUIConstantsEx.au3 and WindowsConstants.au3 as described in the help file...

Regards,

Hannes

There's nothing wrong with your posted code. Mostly because we don't know how you are calling the function. Post more relevant code and we can identify the problem.

[lionfaggot]

its in an infinite while loop, and the guibox is just invoked with guicreate() then guisetstate()

lol, nothing too special

Yes, we are quite sure of that. Post the code, anyway and you will get a response.
