Gui Freezes after switching and needs a click to start working again

As title says, I'm making a screen color picker which I use for various purposes like webdesign and such.

I use Alt+X to switch between normal GUI and a palette version of the gui. When I do that, GUI freezes and needs a click to get back working like it should. Why that? I tried to set focus with GuiCtrlSetState or to simulate clicks with ControlClick on the gui, but nothing... Any clue?

(PS: I knew abou Melba23 gui extender but I don't really want to include other code and keep the program as smallest as possible)

Here's the source:

Uh-oh... I quoted something wrong in there? I'm seeing forum layout in there?? My signature/edit buttons and such :huh:

Newb,

This tends to happen if you have weird unicode characters in the script - which you will notice is also cut short. The forum software somehow gets confused and adds the post controls into the post itself. :(

Try removing all non-standard characters and post again. If that does not work, just add the file as an attachment - use the "Full Editor" option to do that. :)

OK thanks, I tried to remove weird stuff :guitar:

If you're asking what it does to not skim throught all the code it just picks the color on the screen and lets you copy it into clipboard. The problem of the code is in the _DrawNoPalette and _DrawPalette gui switching (at least I believe!)

#include
#include

Func _Exit()
Exit
EndFunc ;==>_Exit

Sorry to ask you people once more, but I think his error is about some deep mechanics of the GUI I would never discover and my only way to fix it would be to do the whole GUI switching in another way.

Newb,

That took a bit of finding! :sweating:

The problem is your use of Alt-x to switch the GUIs. Using this HotKey is blocking the script until you click - setting it to Ctrl-Alt-x solves the problem. :)

From a Google search it looks like Alt-x is often bound by other apps and best avoided. ;)

Yeah, worked fine, thanks. I tried to set different alt+key only keys but all of them freeze, so i had to set a ctrl+alt+key one <_<

Well, whatever, thanks Melba23, you rock as usual

PS: I tried again to find something about this problem on google/autoit forum now tha i know what it is and I found hard getting any info on it :mellow: lol)
