lhw Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 How could i make all controls freeze at father GUI when a child GUI active also keep child GUI stay at the center of father GUI? a couple hours on this without success,could anyone kinldly give me some pointers or sample codes for doing this,help is always appreciated.
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 13, 2011 Moderators Posted March 13, 2011 lhw,I would do it like this - try actioning the main GUI or the "Test" button while the child is visible: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $hButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 10, 80, 30) $hButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Child", 10, 100, 80, 30) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hButton_1 MsgBox(0, "Button", "Pressed") Case $hButton_2 ; Disable parent GUI GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $hGUI) ; Create child = adjust the coordinates to get it into the middle of the parent $hGUI_Child = GUICreate("Child", 200, 200, 150, 150, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $hGUI) GUISetState() ; Intercept attempts to move the child GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "On_WM_SYSCOMMAND") ; Wait for the child to close While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd ; Stop move message interception GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "") ; Re-enable main GUI GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $hGUI) ; Delete child GUIDelete($hGUI_Child) EndSwitch WEnd Func On_WM_SYSCOMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) ; Is it the child sending the message? If $hWnd = $hGUI_Child Then ; Is it a move message? If BitAND($wParam, 0xFFF0) = 0xF010 Then Return False ; $SC_MOVE EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFuncIf you are not too familiar with GUIRegisterMsg, then I recommend the GUIRegisterMsg tutorial in the Wiki.Please ask if you have any questions.

footswitch Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Hello,Not trying to get out of line here, but would there be a way a child GUI could act the same way as an InputBox, MsgBox or FileOpenDialog?When these functions are called with the parent GUI parameter defined, they do "block" the parent GUI; that would be the exact behavior I'd be looking for:$GUI_parent=GUICreate("",500,400) GUISetState() InputBox("","As you can see, clicking the parent GUI isn't possible until you close this child window.","","",-1,-1,200,200,0,$GUI_parent)If I have to use GUI_DISABLE and GUI_ENABLE, this will add a whole lot of "noise" to the script.So I was wondering if there is another way... any ideas?Regards,footswitch
Moderators Melba23 Posted July 8, 2011 Moderators Posted July 8, 2011 footswitch,A couple of additional lines each time you create a child GUI does not seem very "noisy" to me. Of course you can always filter the events to prevent those from the main GUI being actioned while the child is active - the Managing Multiple GUIs tutorial in the Wiki shows you how to go about this - but I would suggest that this might make your script even louder.

footswitch Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 @M23 Come to think about it, you're probably right. I have functions inside other include files, and these functions create child GUIs. Evidently I need to pass the parent GUI's handle as a parameter. So if I'm thinking straight, if I turn my child GUI's creations and deletions into their own functions, it won't be that "noisy" to include those lines inside of them. Thank you for making me think Sometimes that's all we need, right? footswitch
