Exit to gui instead of Exiting GUI (Beginners Question)

[Jeroenvdpol]

Hello Guys,

I am kind of new to Auto-it, also not a experienced scripter.

Here's my issue, probably is simple one to solve.

I created i Gui with a button that performs a action, the action is to create a input box.

When i cancel the inputbox my script keeps running.

I tried to exit the script after i press the cancel button, but offstead of canceling the script i shut down the gui.

Sorry for my bad Englisch i'am Dutch.

I have made a script something like this:

; Script Start - Add your code below here

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438, 192, 124)

$Gui = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Gui", 72, 40, 20, 17)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 56, 112, 161, 65)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $Button1

$VAR1 = InputBox("Hallo","Proberen")

If $VAR1 = "" Then Exit #### When I remove this one the scripts continue..

Run ("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive ("Untitled - Notepad")

Send ($VAR1)

EndSwitch

WEnd

How do i solve this?

I'm not sure what you need.

replace

If $VAR1 = "" Then Exit

with

If @error Then Exit

Hi,

Welcome to the autoit forum

Change Exit to ContinueCase, it will skip to the next switch case, and as far as there is none, it will exit the switch.

You can also use functions :

...

Case $Button1
_toto()

EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _toto()
$VAR1 = InputBox("Hallo", "Proberen")
If $VAR1 = "" Then Return ;Exit Func
Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send($VAR1)
EndFunc   ;==>_toto

Thanks, but not what i'am looking for.

I dont want to exit te program, i want to stop the script and return to the gui form.

Like a normal cancel, whit no further script attached.

Do

$VAR1 = InputBox("Hallo","Proberen")

Until Not @error

Thanks, this is it

The function method works for me.

The ContinueCase starts a case witch only must be started by clicking the button.

You can swap the button Case with the inputbox Case, OR add an empty Case after this last :

...
Case $Button1
$VAR1 = InputBox("Hallo", "Proberen")
If $VAR1 = "" Then ContinueCase
...
Case "EMPTY"
;do nothing
Case $Button2
...
