Hiding a small gui while main stuff is running?

[Chimaera]

Got a script that removes tempfiles etc and it has a choice gui at start for local or offline drives

The choice is done like this

Func _GuiChoice()
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Drive Choice", 150, 100, -1, -1, BitXOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX))
    Local $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Local Machine', 15, 15, 120, 30)
    GUICtrlSetState($Button_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
    _Font9()
    Local $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Offline Machine', 15, 55, 120, 30)
    _Font9()

    GUISetState()
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $Button_1 ; Local Machine Choice
;~          GUICtrlSetState($hGUI, @SW_MINIMIZE) ; <<<<<<<<<<<
                $OS = 'C:' ; Set the local drive choice
                $VerTest = _WinVer() ; test for windows version on the chosen drive
                $aUsers = _UserAccounts(); Work out the names of the user accounts
                $Paths = _SetPaths() ; Set the modified paths for the offline drive
                $Clean = _CleanList() ; Remove files
                ExitLoop
            Case $Button_2 ; Offline Machine Choice
                $OS = _DriveChoice() ; Make the user choose the drive
                $VerTest = _WinVer() ; test for windows version on the chosen drive
                $aUsers = _UserAccounts(); Work out the names of the user accounts
                $Paths = _SetPaths() ; Set the modified paths for the offline drive
                $Clean = _CleanList() ; Remove files
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc   ;==>_GuiChoice

What i want to be able to do is once $Clean = _CleanList() starts then i want to exit or minimize or something to get the window out of the way

I have to have it visible to make the choice obviously but once that has happened it needs to have gone

You can see in the code i have been trying different options ExitLoop/GUICtrlSetState($hGUI, @SW_MINIMIZE) etc

But i just cant find a way to hide it.

 

Any thoughts?

Try using BitOr instead of BitXOr. Or, post a working script that we can run to test what you're doing.

Just noticed, you're using GUICTRLSetState instead of GUISetState.

And that appears to be the answer

GUISetState

Many thanks

 

The BitXOr was a snippet Melba gave me a long time ago for a non adjustable gui
