Why is the task not going forward to next message box?

Wondering why the task is not going to next step:

MsgBox(64, "A", "B")

here is the code:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Local $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 466, 202)
Local $Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 120, 120, 36, 17)
Local $BrowserType = GUICtrlCreateInput("Please Select Browser Type", 176, 120, 121, 21)
Local $Submit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 328, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $BrowserType
MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

MsgBox(64, "A", "B")

Because the only statement that whill ever leave the "While 1 / WEnd" loop exits the script and therefore never executes the MsgBox statement.

xuzo,

Because you tell the script to "Exit" when the edit control is actioned - you need to use "ExitLoop" so that the script cntinues. :)

I sound sooooo stupid..but trying! Tried both ways, not working:

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $BrowserType
MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd
Exit
MsgBox(64, "A", "B")

And :

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
ExitLoop
MsgBox(64, "A", "B")

xuzo,

:D

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 466, 202)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 120, 120, 36, 17)
$BrowserType = GUICtrlCreateInput("Please Select Browser Type", 176, 120, 121, 21)
$Submit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 328, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndSwitch
WEnd

MsgBox(64, "A", "B")

And anyway why are you not using a combo to get the selection? :huh:

Great! Ok, here's one more!

Is it better to open a new thread or keep going with the one started by the way?

So now I want to wait until the GUI is gone before moving on.

I've experimented with Sleep, and WinWait, WinWaitClose ect...but can't seem to get it right...here it is:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 400, 400)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 120, 120, 36, 17)
$BrowserType = GUICtrlCreateInput("Please Select Browser Type", 176, 120, 121, 21)
$Submit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 328, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $BrowserType
;sgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
EndSwitch
WEnd
WinWaitClose("Form1")
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send(GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

Use function GUIDelete if the GUI is no longer needed.

xuzo,

Just amend the action to take when the GUI is closed: ;)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 400, 400)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 120, 120, 36, 17)
$BrowserType = GUICtrlCreateInput("Please Select Browser Type", 176, 120, 121, 21)
$Submit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 328, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        Case $BrowserType
            MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

MsgBox(0, "Hi", "GUI closed")

Is it better to open a new thread or keep going with the one started by the way?

If your new question is closely related to the thread then by all means keep going. But if you are going off on a tangent then please start a new one. Not that you need much encouragement to do so so far. :D

Thank

GUIDelete() does work, but then I loose the value...it kills everything:

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $BrowserType
;sgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
EndSwitch
WEnd
GUIDelete()
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send(GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

Then I tried this but doesn't work:

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            ;sgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndSwitch
WEnd
GUI_EVENT_CLOSE()
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send(GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

Not working:

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            ;sgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndSwitch
WEnd
WinWaitClose("Form1")
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send(GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

But if you want to remove the GUI from the screen before your script is closed you need to use GUIDelete.

You have to store the selection in a variable because all GUI related functions return an error when called after GUIDelete.

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            $sSelection = GUICtrlRead($BrowserType)
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndSwitch
WEnd
GUI_EVENT_CLOSE()
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send($sSelection)
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

Thanks Melba,

I tried your script and works fine, but I want the GUI to close itself alone after clicking on submit without having to click on the Minimize X

Trying this now:

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            ;sgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            ExitLoop ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndSwitch
    WinClose("Form1")
WEnd

WinWaitClose("Form1")
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
Send(GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!n")

xuzo,

You need to phrase your questions better - you asked how to wait until the GUI had closed, not how to close it! ;)

And water has already given you the answer:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 400, 400)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 120, 120, 36, 17)
$BrowserType = GUICtrlCreateInput("Please Select Browser Type", 176, 120, 121, 21)
$Submit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 328, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BrowserType
            MsgBox(64, "You selected:", GUICtrlRead($BrowserType))
            GUIDelete($Form1) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

MsgBox(0, "Hi", "GUI closed")

Hi Melba,

yes, sorry, not always sure how to ask, might be better to go little steps by steps and thread by thread?

One small question at a time is better I think?

Indeed the code that water gave is 100% what I wanted to do.

Thanks

Using variables and creating simple GUIs are such basic tasks that I would recommend (before you do further coding) to have a look at the Wiki and check the tutorials. There you find good descriptions and examples how things work.

Hi Water,

Thanks for the link, I've been to that page and checked all the links;)

I read everything....problem is I lack the basics, I mean all I know is like stuff from high school 25 years ago like:

X=Y and Y=Z so X=Z ...that is basically the extend of my knowledge about that type of programming although I know HTML and CSS...!

Cheers!
