charon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 How can I create another GUI within my GUI. Example: I have a menu in my GUI called options. Click options to set preferences which require several input and drop down boxes so I created another GUI. When I close the 2nd GUI it closes everything instead of going back to the main GUI. Here is an example: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Create a GUI with various controls. Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example") Local $iOK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 310, 370, 85, 25) ; Display the GUI. GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) ;Start top menu $OptionMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Options") $testitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Global", $OptionMenu) ; Loop until the user exits. While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $iOK ExitLoop Case $testitem SetOptions() EndSwitch ;If $msg = $testitem Then ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "test", "testing...") ;HotKeySet("^x", "RemedyFunc") ; SetOptions() ;EndIf WEnd ; Delete the previous GUI and all controls. GUIDelete($hGUI) EndFunc ;==>Example ;GUI Functions Func SetOptions() Local $msg, $sItem GUICreate("Options", 380, 230, 100, 200, -1) ;5 buttons width/height/left/top GUICtrlCreateLabel("Delay ", 10, 10, 40) ; first cell 70 width $Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("500", 50, 10, 40, 20) ;left/top/width/height GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS) ; the focus is on this button Local $Go = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", 120, 10, 85, 25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box with a combo control with focus on ; Loop until the user exits. While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
