Meerecat 0 Posted June 12, 2011 Raising a good point JohnOne made regarding my last program. How do I return from a function without having to recall the function again. Currently I delete and redraw the GUI: Func _about() GUIDelete() GUICreate("About", 302, 127) GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Meerecat Folder Lock", 73, 8, 165, 23) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Leelawadee") $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Meerecat IT Services ©2011", 152, 104, 145, 18) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Leelawadee") $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Version 2.0", 116, 32, 69, 19) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Leelawadee") $Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("www.meerecat-itservices.co.uk", 61, 56, 179, 19) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Leelawadee") $Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("(click here to visit)", 146, 72, 92, 18) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Leelawadee") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _main() EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc This hides the main GUI and displays the about box. I would prefer to be able to leave the about box on top of the main gui, then when you close the about box the main gui still exists. How can I fix this? I looked up Return in the help file, but closing the About box does not return any parameters so don't see how I can use this. Do I somehow need to create this about gui as a child, so when you close it the parent still exists? Many Thanks Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.-The biggest idiot can ask questions the smartest man cannot answer.

Andreik 66 Posted June 12, 2011 This can be a way: Global $MAIN $MAIN = GUICreate("Main") $ABOUT = GUICtrlCreateButton("About",5,5,50,20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MAIN) While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $ABOUT About() Case -3 Exit EndSwitch Sleep(10) WEnd Func About() GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$MAIN) ;Optional to hide main window $ABOUT_GUI = GUICreate("About",250,250,Default,Default,Default,Default,$MAIN) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$ABOUT_GUI) While True If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then ExitLoop Sleep(10) WEnd GUIDelete($ABOUT_GUI) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MAIN) ;Optional to show main window [if was hidden] EndFunc or another way to process all GUI messages in same loop: Global $MAIN $MAIN = GUICreate("Main") $ABOUT = GUICtrlCreateButton("About",5,5,50,20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MAIN) While True $MSG = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $MSG[0] Case $ABOUT About() Case -3 If $MSG[1] = $MAIN Then Exit Else GUIDelete($MSG[1]) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MAIN) EndIf EndSwitch Sleep(10) WEnd Func About() GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$MAIN) $ABOUT_GUI = GUICreate("About",250,250) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$ABOUT_GUI) EndFunc When the words fail... music speaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
