Nunos 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Hello all I am trying to make a little GUI with a couple buttons on it that will allow someone to exit or continue on and run the little shell command I want. I am having trouble with the OK button currently in the code below it starts the program just fine and runs it but the GUI stays open in the background and doesn't close after the program finishes. Not sure what I am missing. I copied the example out of the help file and tried to modify it to what I am doing. Any help is greatly appreciated. #RequireAdmin #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode $mainwindow = GUICreate("System File Checker", 265, 100) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked") GUICtrlCreateLabel("You may need your Operating System cd or dvd." & @CRLF & "To continue click OK... or you can close this box.", 25, 10) $okbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 80,50, 100) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($okbutton, "OKButton") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Sleep(1000) ; Idle around WEnd Func OKButton() ;MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You Pressed OK") ShellExecuteWait("SFC.exe","/scannow","","",@SW_MAXIMIZE) Exit EndFunc Func CLOSEClicked() Exit EndFunc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnOne 1,603 Posted June 8, 2012 I imagine that "SFC.exe" is still running, or does not return a value to indicate it has finished.

Nunos 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Yes SFC.exe runs and returns nothing after it has completed and the only return it would do is a report that says it ran replaced bad files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnOne 1,603 Posted June 8, 2012 As far as I am aware all executables return a value (exit code) ShellExecuteWait does not return until it recieves that exit code for the launched app. It seems the process is still running.

Nunos 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Do I need to tell it to know the return code and do anything with it? Or should it do it on its own? Maybe I didn't wait long enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,304 Posted June 8, 2012 If the ShellExecuteWait won't work correctly with this program, you could use While ProcessExists("sfc.exe") Sleep(10) Wend this will pause the script until that program isn't running any more. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

JohnOne 1,603 Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) When you are expecting it to finish, look in taskmanager or similar to see if the process is still running. EDIT: Yes. What BrewManNH said, but use ShellExecute. Edited June 8, 2012 by JohnOne AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

Nunos 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Yes it was still running. I added the While Process Exists and changed it to shellexecute I think that has it sorted. Is there anyway in which you could have the ok box minimize to like the systray or similar? I worry that if someone can see it there they will try to click it again and get multiple instances of the sfc.exe running. Thank you both for your help and direction its great that you take time out of your days to help people like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnOne 1,603 Posted June 8, 2012 GUICtrlSetState along with $GUI_DISABLE should disable the button. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
