GUICreate Troubles

[Jimbei]

I'm having a bit of difficulty with GUICreate. I create a window, but it closes within a fifth of a second. Here's my code:

Global $Window 
$Window = GUICreate("My GUI", 640, 480)

[reb]

Global $Window $Window = GUICreate("My GUI", 640, 480)

Check out GUISetState() in the help file

Hi and Welcome to the forums!

Is that all your code? Then it's no wonder it disappears as you don't have any loop or something that stops the script from exiting.

Open the helpfile and read "GUI Reference", then you atleast have a foundation to build on, then if you're serious with AutoIt you may want to check out some of the tutorials listed on the wiki.

I added GUIsetstate to the code, but the problem persists. The help said to add this to keep the window open:

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

I added that to the end, so it looks like this now:

Global $Window, $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
$Window = GUICreate("My GUI", 640, 480)
GUIsetstate (@SW_SHOW)
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

The problem still persists.

Its because you declared $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE and didnt add the include file!

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $Window
$Window = GUICreate("My GUI", 640, 480)
GUIsetstate (@SW_SHOW)
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

How i would do it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $Window
$Window = GUICreate("My GUI", 640, 480)
GUIsetstate (@SW_SHOW)
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd
