GUIOnEventMode for only one GUI?

[Leo1906]

I read about GUIOnEventMode while making my research and I found out that you can't use 

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

and

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

at the same time. So far so good.
In my script I am spawning a few child GUIs and only for the main GUI I need interaction with buttons etc.
My question now is, is it possible to set those flags specifically for a single GUI? Can I somehow pass the handle to a GUI this option should affect? And for the main GUI I use GuiGetMsg?

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to do ..

 

Thanks for your help

You can't use both at the same time but you can do it successively by switching the option 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$gui1 = GUICreate("gui1", -1, -1, 100, 100)
$btn1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("button 1", 20, 20, 80, 30)
GUISetState()

$gui2 = GUICreate("gui2", -1, -1, 150, 150)
$btn2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("button 2", 20, 20, 80, 30)
GUISetState()

While 1
  If WinActive($gui2) Then
     Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
     GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_events")
     GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btn2, "_events")
  Else
     Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 0)
     Switch GuiGetMsg()
         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
            Exit Msgbox(0,"", "exit guigetmsg")
         Case $btn1 
            Msgbox(0,"", "button 1 pressed")
      EndSwitch
  EndIf
  Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _events()
     Switch @GUI_CtrlId
         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
              GuiDelete(@GUI_WinHandle)
              Msgbox(0,"", "exit onevent")
         Case $btn2 
              Msgbox(0,"", "button 2 pressed")
      EndSwitch
EndFunc

But it's a strange idea. Why not use the same mode for all gui ? 

BTW _ArrayDisplay is an example of this switching, it uses internally GuiGetMsg regardless of the mode used in the main script

At same time isn't possible:

• When GUIOnEventMode is active, only GUICtrlSetOnEvent functions are working, GuiGetMsg works not
• When GUIOnEventMode is disabled, GUICtrlSetOnEvent functions are not working, GuiGetMsg works

But it is correct you can mix both in one script, but i think this not a good idea for newbe like you.

Ah ok I understand now. Didn't knew it was that simple to switch the mode.
I'll figure it out how to use and switch those modes ..

Thanks guys!

Yeah I now noticed that there is no need for it. You were right.
I thought it would be necessary to register functions like WM_NCHITTEST and others and I wasn't sure about how to make my buttons etc usable at the same time, but the script that mikell postet shows a solution to this.

But to use WM_NCHITTEST it's not requiered to use  Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)  so the question was unnecessary .. :/

But nevertheless it helped me understand how to make buttons usable when the mode is switched ..
