GuiCtrlCreateDummy with Child window not working

[hiimjoey11 0]

I am trying to understand child windows and dummy controls, and this code works great if i take out the child window code, but as soon as i want to add a child window my code breaks.  Any idea how to get around this?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

; Create parent
$hGUI = GUICreate("Parent", 100, 200)

$hButton_Child = GUICtrlCreateButton("Child", 10, 100, 80, 30)
$hButton_Test  = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 10, 50, 80, 30)
$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 80, 30)
$ButtonDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUISetState()

; Create child
$hGUI_Child = GUICreate("Child", 200, 200)

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)

Dim $EnterArray[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $ButtonDummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($EnterArray)


While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton_Test
            MsgBox(0, "Test", "You pressed the button!")
        Case $hButton_Child
            GUISetState($GUI_DISABLE, $hGUI)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI_Child)
            While 1

                Switch GUIGetMsg()
                    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $hGUI_Child)
                        GUISetState($GUI_ENABLE, $hGUI)
                        ExitLoop
                EndSwitch
            WEnd
        Case $ButtonDummy
            EnterPressed()
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func EnterPressed()

    ;When they press Enter after typing in the coop, fill out all the buttons with the appropriate information
    $coop = GUICtrlRead($Input)
    GUICtrlSetData($hButton_Test, "TESTING")
    GUICtrlSetState($Input, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc   ;==>Enter

hiimjoey11,

Accelerator keys are linked to the last created GUI - in your code as posted that is the child. So move the GUISetAccelerators section to before the child GUI creation and all should work as you expect.

There is second optional parameter in GUISetAccelerators()

where you can put handle to your GUI returned by GUICreate()
