request help with double gui

[Flum]

Good morning community,

I wrote an Autoit script with a double Gui.The button in the second gui wont work any ideas? Much appriciated

expandcollapse popup

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

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $hGUI, $hGUI2

vertical()

func vertical()
$hGUI = GUICreate("Medication", 60, 376, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)
$rotatebutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 20, 0, 16, 16)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($rotatebutton, "rotate")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
endfunc

func horizontal()
$hGUI2 = GUICreate("Medication", 376, 60, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)
$rotatebackbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 20, 0, 16, 16)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($rotatebackbutton, "rotateback")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
endfunc

func rotate()
    msgbox(0,"ROTATE","ROTATE")
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $hGUI)
horizontal()
EndFunc

func rotateback()
    msgbox(0,"ROTATE BACK","ROTATE BACK") ; NEVER GETS TO THIS POINT?
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $hGUI2)
EndFunc

So i found out the solution, if i remove the while loop in the second gui. Then the button in the second gui will function correctly. Im curious why it wont work with a while in there?

Flum,

The Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki will explain why this happens.
