GuiOnEventMode and multiple guis not working


Recommended Posts

So i tried using GuiOnEventMode, but when i made the SecondGui the buttons wouldn't respond.
Is it like the functions can't be called since its in a function or am i doing something wrong ?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $State = 0

$Gui = GUICreate("Main gui", 150, 60)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open", 10, 10, 60, 40)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 80, 10, 60, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseMain")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "SecondGui")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "CloseMain")

Func CloseMain()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>CloseMain

Func CloseSecond()
    $State = 1
EndFunc   ;==>CloseSecond

Func Msg()
    MsgBox("", "", "A BOX!")
EndFunc   ;==>Msg

Func SecondGui()
    $SecondGui = GUICreate("Second gui", 150, 60)
    $ButtonMsg = GUICtrlCreateButton("Msg", 10, 10, 60, 40)
    $ButtonClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 80, 10, 60, 40)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseSecond")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "Msg")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "CloseSecond")

    While $State = 0
        Sleep(40)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>SecondGui

While 1
    Sleep(40)
WEnd

This wiki http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Interrupting_a_running_function says :

"If you are in OnEvent mode then there is an easy way to interrupt a running function, as long as the function is started within the main code and not by an OnEvent call."

That's why the while loop in SecondGui() keeps on blocking and your $State flag doesn't work

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $SecondGui

$Gui = GUICreate("Main gui", 150, 60)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open", 10, 10, 60, 40)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 80, 10, 60, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseMain")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "SecondGui")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "CloseMain")

Func CloseMain()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>CloseMain

Func CloseSecond()
     GuiDelete($SecondGui)
EndFunc   ;==>CloseSecond

Func Msg()
    MsgBox("", "", "A BOX!")
EndFunc   ;==>Msg

Func SecondGui()
    $SecondGui = GUICreate("Second gui", 150, 60)
    $ButtonMsg = GUICtrlCreateButton("Msg", 10, 10, 60, 40)
    $ButtonClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 80, 10, 60, 40)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseSecond")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonMsg, "Msg")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonClose, "CloseSecond")

  ;  While $State = 0
      ;  Sleep(40)
  ;  WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>SecondGui

While 1
    Sleep(40)
WEnd

Okay, just gotta have to work with it then.

Thanks for the reply! :)

Maffe811,

Three things that prevent the script form working:

- 1. You are not using the correct variable names for the seconf GUI buttons when you set the events - so they do not fire.

- 2. You never actually delete the second GUI - so you never get back to the first.

- 3. As explained above, you stay in loop within a function - never a good idea inOnEvent mode. Just use the one main loop and always return to it.

So a modified script looks like this:
 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $SecondGui ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Declare as Global

$Gui = GUICreate("Main gui", 150, 60)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open", 10, 10, 60, 40)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 80, 10, 60, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseMain")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "SecondGui")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "CloseMain")

Func CloseMain()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>CloseMain

Func CloseSecond()
    GUIDelete($SecondGui) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Delete the GUI
EndFunc   ;==>CloseSecond

Func Msg()
    MsgBox("", "", "A BOX!")
EndFunc   ;==>Msg

Func SecondGui()
    $SecondGui = GUICreate("Second gui", 150, 60)
    $ButtonMsg = GUICtrlCreateButton("Msg", 10, 10, 60, 40)
    $ButtonClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 80, 10, 60, 40)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CloseSecond")
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonMsg, "Msg") ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Use correct variable name !
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ButtonClose, "CloseSecond") ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Use correct variable name !

    ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Remove loop

EndFunc   ;==>SecondGui

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

which works fine for me. :)

Melba,

I omitted the #1 and #2 errors because even when these corrected the code still didn't work because of the onevent thing, and forgot to mention them because solving the #3 leads naturally to find them

BTW though I'm not completely awake your script looks a bit like mine dub.gif

mikell,

My favourite coincidence is Darwin and Wallace both arriving at the theory of evolution almost simultaneously. ;)

A nice example indeed, though I admit to be personally more impressed by those where it's evident that the geographic distance and cultural difference made any kind of communication impossible ;)
