A Popup Gui problem

[PPowerHouseK]

Hell all,

I have been trying to figure out to how do this for a long time now. Basically I have a autoit script with a GUI. When a button is pushed, i need the GUI to open a new GUI that has a combo box and an okay button. I want the okay button to read the data from the combo box and return control back to the main gui. When the x button is pressed on the popup gui, it should close just that gui and not the main one as well. My problem is that i cannot get the Gui to read the input from the combo, close after okay is pressed or just close with the x. Here is the part of my main script where the second GUI should pop out.

Case $secondgui
    $who = GUICtrlRead($input)
    $secondgui=GUICreate("newgui",250, 250)
    GUISetState()
    $getffs=GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choice1",0, 0, 100)
    $rank=GUICtrlRead($getffs)
    $okay=GUICtrlCreateButton("Okay",50,50,-1)
Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $okay
                WinActivate("window")
                Send("{ESC}")
                sleep(500)
                Send("t")
                sleep(300)
                Send("$who & $rank2)
                Send("{Enter}")


EndSwitch

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PPowerHouseK,

When the x button is pressed on the popup gui, it should close just that gui and not the main one as well.

I recommend the Managing Multiple GUIs tutorial in the Wiki - it shows you how to avoid that particular problem. And it might well help you with the others as well

After having read the tutorial please come back if you have any further questions.
