Trouble creating a child window

Shinies · August 22, 2012

Hey,

I have recently returned to AutoIt after a few years, and am re-learning a lot of things. I have run into a problem that has me stumped.

The main window in my program works great. What im trying to do is open up a child window that takes focus from the main window where the user can view/edit some info gathered from a UDF listview control. The user will then be able to either save or cancel once done editing the values in the controls. Gathering the data from the listview and displaying it in the child window works fine, however once the new GUI gets to the loop stage checking GUIGetMsg() it seems to be becoming unresponsive (need to force close the window).

I have a few msgbox's in my script just for pinpointing where the script is hanging, so dont worry about those, and its pretty commented so shouldnt be too hard to follow. Ill include the function which contains child GUI window as well as the full script minus functions.

Function calling creation of new GUI:

Func _EditMember($mem)

Local $f, $lc, $i, $line


;Create Edit Member Window
$WinEditMem = GUICreate($mem, 595, 227, 384, 145, Default, Default, $WinMain)
$LabEditMemName = GUICtrlCreateLabel($mem, 112, 32, 32, 17)
$LabEditMemScore = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Score:", 16, 80, 35, 17)
$LabEditMemTc = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Troop Count:", 16, 112, 66, 17)
$LabEditMemCoord = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Coords", 16, 144, 37, 17)
$InputEditMemScore = GUICtrlCreateInput("-", 88, 80, 201, 21)
$InputEditMemTc = GUICtrlCreateInput("-", 88, 112, 201, 21)
$InputEditMemCoord = GUICtrlCreateInput("-", 88, 144, 201, 21)
$EditEditMemNote = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Notes...", 296, 8, 289, 161)
$ButtonEditMemSave = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 200, 184, 83, 25)
$ButtonEditMemCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 296, 184, 83, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $WinEditMem)

;Get member data and display
$f = FileOpen($ResDir & "\" & $allypointer & $MemDatatxt)
$lc = _FileCountLines($ResDir & "\" & $allypointer & $MemDatatxt)

;Cycle through memdat.txt
For $i = 1 to $lc
$line = FileReadLine($f, $i)
$line = StringSplit($line, "|")
If $line[1] = $mem Then ;If the name of the member = name passed to function
;Update controls with member data
GUICtrlSetData($InputEditMemTc, $line[2])
GUICtrlSetData($InputEditMemScore, $line[3])
GUICtrlSetData($InputEditMemCoord, $line[4])
;GUICtrlSetData($InputEditMemCoord, NOTES placeholder)
ExitLoop
EndIf

Next

MsgBox(0, "", "1")
;Window events
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
MsgBox(0, "", "3")
ExitLoop

Case $ButtonEditMemCancel
MsgBox(0, "", "4")
ExitLoop

EndSwitch
WEnd

;Delete window on way out of function
MsgBox(0, "", "7")
FileClose($f)
GUIDelete($WinEditMem)

Let me know if you guys need any more of the script or any other info! Hope this is all clear...

Thanks for any help

What windows become unresponsive: main or child windows?? For me both works well. Maybe I missed something.

Shinies · August 22, 2012

EDIT: Upon futher investigation it looks like the script actually runs okay when its not in the same directory as the files it is meant to parse... When it IS in the same directory it gets all the info and displays them in the inputs fine but when it gets to the while loop it becomes unresponsive... so confused...

The script itself becomes unresponsive, leading to both windows freezing.

When run separately they both work fine. The problem arises when the function _EditMember() is called from within the main script.

I was trying to make it easier by excluding a bunch of code that is irrelevant but ill post the entire program:

Can you provide some additional files to can populate the listview? It seems the function that creat child window is called when an item in listview it's double clicked. So would be nice to have something in listview. :guitar:

LE: actually I think I know why this happens. Because _EditMember function it's called in a callback and this is very wrong. Any callback function should run quickly and then return, in other case the application freezes or become not stable.

That certainly sounds like what happening.. when you say the function is being called in a callback are you referring to it being called from the GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY") callback to WM_NOTIFY? And if i move it outside of WM_NOTIFY it will no longer be unstable?

again sorry i am still learning

The solve can be a dummy control.

I made some comments where I added something in your code. This should work without frezees.
