Multiple GUI's


Recommended Posts

I know that there is something written on this, but for the life of me I can not find it. WIKI, FAQ, somewhere else - can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

All by me:

"Sometimes you have to go back to where you started, to get to where you want to go." 

"Everybody catches up with everyone, eventually" 

"As you teach others, you are really teaching yourself."

From my dad

"Do not worry about yesterday, as the only thing that you can control is tomorrow."

Thanks, my problem does not seem to be listed...I have always created Multiple GUIs with there own GUIGetMsg() loop, and I name each of my variables with their own name. I am having trouble as when I open the two GUIs and close the first one the second one closes.

I am just lost as I know I have done this in other scripts...this script is to long to post but here is a litte bit of it.

In either case, the first gui closes the second gui...sorry for posting again, I did not want to mess up my TIDY format.

just the two hot keys

@nitekram

You should use the main loop to catch the GUI messages and not seperated loops for each GUI because it blocks the whole script, in conclusion this is a bad coding practice. Use the advanced parameter of the GUIGetMsg function as showed in the FAQ.

Br, FireFox.

I am not sure I understand why it is bad...this way I keep all my controls in the area that is created by the functions. Not saying you are wrong, but that would be a pain, because everytime you create a controle you would have to move up to the main while loop and put the info there - in a rather long script (like over 5000 lines) I would have to move all them into a rather large While Loop and have to navigate to the While loop from the bottom to the top?

Can you explain why this is bad, because I have always done it this way and it seems to work, except for this example.

Thanks for you input and help!

EDIT OK, I am reading the WIKI now, as I just was looking for a coding example like mine, please do not hit me over the head until I am done readint

Not trying to double post, but @Melba23 - you have this line in your WIKI - can you point me to it, the other Turorial???

As you can see, we have a single While...WEnd loop which distinguishes between the two GUIs, both GUIs and their controls remain active and we stay in the main idle loop while we wait (you did read that other tutorial I hope!).

EDIT

This code from the example does exactly what I do not want, I do not want to close both windows? When you close the first gui it closed both windows???

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

     $hButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Msgbox 1", 10, 10, 80, 30)
     $hButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show Gui 2", 10, 60, 80, 30)

nitekram,

The other tutorial to which I refer is the Interrupting a running function tutorial, also in the Wiki and mentioned earlier in the "Multiple GUI" tutorial - but I do not think that is what you want. :)

As to the code you posted, when I run it clicking the [X] on GUI2 only closes GUI2 and does not exit the script - of course clicking the [X] on GUI1 closes everything as that is what you tell it to do. ;)

Anyway, I do not agree with FireFox's comment - I have many dialog style GUIs with their own While...WEnd loop - that way you can avoid situations such as you have just described, although it does have some downsides as you are blocked in the child GUI until you close it and return to the main loop. What exactly do you want to do? If you can give me a clear understanding, I can certainly try to give you some code to match. :)

The GUI_Help() is a help gui to use by the end user...if the end user opens that window in order to get the info (help keys) and then runs a hotkey to open another window..I want to be able to close the GUI_Help() and leave the other GUI up and running. I also want the end user to be able to close the second GUI, if it is not what is needed and keep the GUI_Help() active.

Hope that is clear as mud...

it does have some downsides as you are blocked in the child GUI until you close it and return to the main loop.

That's what I meant but I wanted to point out that the GUI is re-created again each time the function is called in his script.

I never use the GUIGetMsg function except for examples to catch the close message for these reasons :

-You can't set a high sleep in your loop otherwise the messages won't be caught.

-It makes to much indents and I prefer to have a loop as small as possible that's why event functions are perfect.

-If you use sub whiles for each GUI the rest of the script is blocked.

nitekram,

That is just an extension of the code in the tutorial to cover 3 GUIs and not just 2: ;)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $hHelp = 9999, $hChild = 9999

HotKeySet("^+q", "_Child_Create")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$mHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")
$mHelpItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("HotKeys", $mHelpMenu)

GUISetState()

While 1

    $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $aMsg[1]
        Case $hGUI
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    Exit
                Case $mHelpItem
                    _Help_Create()
            EndSwitch
        Case $hHelp
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    GUIDelete($hHelp)
            EndSwitch
        Case $hChild
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    GUIDelete($hChild)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func _Help_Create()

    $hHelp = GUICreate("Gui 2", 200, 200, 350, 350)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Press Ctrl-Q to create a child GUI", 10, 10, 180, 40)
    GUISetState()

    ConsoleWrite("Hit" & @CRLF)


EndFunc

Func _Child_Create()

    $hChild = GUICreate("Child", 200, 200, 150, 150)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is a child GUI", 10, 10, 180, 40)
    GUISetState()

EndFunc

All clear? :)

That does not fit my needs. The first gui needs to be able to be closed, while keeping the child guis opened and visa versa.

Thanks for your help, so far!

$aHelpTips[49][0] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("CTRL+SHIFT+Q - QUITS PROGRAM", 75, 750)

The whole program is hidden from the end user until they hit the hotkeys and depending on what they hit they get a different type of windows/function/tool...if all windows are closed, the program is still running, and I delete each gui upon exit of that gui, and then recreate the gui when need.

I believe it has to be possible right, or do I need to create a separate script for each of my GUI's - I believe my logic is sound in my example, but I may have missed something

Again, thanks for your help

nitekram,

It is a little more complicated than FireFox suggests (you need a function to create the main GUI), but still pretty easy:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $hGUI = 9999, $hHelp = 9999, $hChild = 9999
Global $mHelpItem = 9999

HotKeySet("^+w", "_Main_Create")
HotKeySet("^+q", "_Child_Create")

While 1

    $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $aMsg[1]
        Case $hGUI
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    GUIDelete($hGUI)
                Case $mHelpItem
                    _Help_Create()
            EndSwitch
        Case $hHelp
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    GUIDelete($hHelp)
            EndSwitch
        Case $hChild
            Switch $aMsg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    GUIDelete($hChild)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func _Main_Create()

    $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

    Local $mHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")
    $mHelpItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("HotKeys", $mHelpMenu)

    GUISetState()

EndFunc

Func _Help_Create()

    $hHelp = GUICreate("Gui 2", 200, 200, 350, 350)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Press Ctrl-Q to create a child GUI", 10, 10, 180, 40)
    GUISetState()

EndFunc

Func _Child_Create()

    $hChild = GUICreate("Child", 200, 200, 150, 150)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is a child GUI", 10, 10, 180, 40)
    GUISetState()

EndFunc

Are we there now? :)

FireFox -

I missed that - so sorry

I understand how @Melba23 codes works now, but given my argument above is there a better way for me.. I have already got dozens of GUI's and I would think there might be 3 or more controls to each GUI, I can see my while loop get way out of control and I am still stuck with finding the loop in the code, and then bringing all my controls (no pun) back up to the main while loop -- I think that is going to be harder then it shoud be? Drilling up scite - yea there are short-cuts that I am still learning, but why cannot I have it my way? As long as I do not duplicate variables I assumed it would work. And almost positve I did this in another of my scripts.

Let me check out whay you all posted, and I will see if it fixes my pain.

EDIT

On Melba23s code I did replace, but now have now way of closing that last guI?

but why cannot I have it my way?

We are not saying that it's not possible in your way, it's just more complicated for nothing.

Edit: Let me explain the problem for "your way".

As we said each while block the rest of the script, so you can't have more than one while running (in your script), then you will understand that you will not be able to catch the close message of the 2nd or 3rd GUI if you are listening for the 1st GUI messages.

If you really want to continue in that way you will need to have identical sub whiles listening to every GUI which can be showed in the same time, meaning that you will need global variables, meaning that you will finally give up to our code in the way we gave you.

Create Show/Hide :

Create/Delete :

In Each of these examples, I assume that action will only take place if the control is in the Main While loop, while I see this is the main way, I am, I guess thinking out side the box...I do not want to pull everying into this massive huge 3 or 5 pages of scrolling to make sure I am in the right spot in the while loop so I can keep things tidy (again no pun), I would want all my conrols that match my gui to be all together?

Edit spelling
