GUI Window Problem

[Guest LiQUiDNiTrO]

Hi,

I have a problem with my script. If a user clicks on Options->Settings they get a new GUI like they should. If they click on X, it closes the entire app. I just want it to close the settings window. I have tried using another While loop, but that just prevents it from coming up. Here is the code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("MyApp", 800, 600)         ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)    ; will display an empty dialog box

$filemenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("File")
$exititem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit", $filemenu)
$optionsmenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("Options")
$settingsitem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Settings", $optionsmenu)
$helpmenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("Help")
$aboutitem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("About", $helpmenu)


GuiSetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    

    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        
        Case $msg = $exititem
            ExitLoop
            
        Case $msg = $settingsitem
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE)
            GUICreate("MyApp - Settings", 600, 450)      ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered 

            $okbutton = GuiCtrlCreateButton ("OK", 200, 425, 100, 20)
            $cancelbutton = GuiCtrlCreateButton ("Cancel", 300, 425, 100, 20)
            
            GUISetState ()
        Case $msg = $aboutitem
            Msgbox(0, "About", "GUI Menu Test")
    EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit

This is probably a simple fix, but i'm new to AutoIt so i'm having some trouble figuring it out. I will pick up fast, as I know web scripting languages and some C/C++.

Thanks,

Kevin

That works, but I get an error:

WARNING: $kid1: possibly used before declaration.
GUISwitch($kid1)

Also, when you close the settings window, the main window flashes.
