$GUI_HIDE doesn't stay hidden

[lorenkinzel]

I've put together a media player (because we REALLY needed another one) that has a button to hide the bulk of the GUI.

When playing for about 10 minutes the pause & stop buttons un-hide.

Windows xp sp3, AutoIt 3381.

Not that big a bother , but quite the puzzle. Any clues?

Thanks for any help.

O.K. consider me the fool.

I built the function into the script. I simply forgot about it in the time that passed before I added the 'hide' button.

Func getLineCount()

_showPauseStop() Kinda describes the issue?

I will get over the humiliation eventually.......
