Fix so the windows close..?

command or question?

If you want your other pop-up windows to be child windows, you have to reference the parent window name within the GUICreate() function.

To allow your child windows actually function when you create them, try using GUISwitch() to switch to the opened windows.

I was bored... so see if this will help:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$p = GUICreate(" Sign In/Out", 120, 80, -1, -1);, $WS_POPUP)

$btnIn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Sign In",  0, 30, 50)
$btnOut = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Sign Out",  60+10, 30, 50)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        Exit
    Case $MSG = $BTNIN
        GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $P)
        btnIn()
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $P)
        GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $P)
    Case $MSG = $BTNOUT
        GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $P)
        btnOut()
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $P)
        GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $P)
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func btnIn()
$cIn = GUICreate(" Sign In", 280, 100, -1, -1);, $WS_POPUP)  

GUICtrlCreateLabel  ("Full name:",  10, 10, 50);first cell 50 width
$myedit=GUICtrlCreateEdit ("name", 10+50,  10, 200, 20, $ES_WANTRETURN); next line

GUICtrlCreateLabel  (" Activity:",  10, 40, 60)  
$myedit2=GUICtrlCreateEdit ("activity", 10+60,  40, 200, 20, $ES_WANTRETURN); next line

$btnOk = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Sign In",  90, 70, 50)
$btnCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Cancel",  90*2, 70, 70)


GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)   ; will display an empty dialog box

While 1
    $MSG1 = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $MSG1 = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        Exit

        GUIDelete($CIN)

EndFunc

I don't use events... so I took them out in my example... but if you figured it out.. why don't you post your script to help others that might be looking for the answer to your same question.
