Hi Everyone,

I would like to have your assistance to check how to re-open a GUI I created after a guidelete of my a GUI.

Say I got 2 GUIs running. Primary is running and secondary is like a pop-up marquee.

the Pop-up Marque GUI will be closed after 10 seconds using GUIdelete($gui2) 

How can I re-open $gui2?

Here is my code: 

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=asInvoker
#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
AutoItSetOption('ExpandEnvStrings', 1)

If all you want to do is hide the GUI, don't delete it. Use GUISetState with the @SW_HIDE or @SW_SHOW to hide and make it visible again.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

TheOne23,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

When you post code please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags.

Hi BrewManNH ,

Thank you for your feedback and inputs, I actually tried it but still not working. It does hide the other GUI (Marquee QUI) but once it is hidden it will not re-appear again.  I use this loop below to loop within the Function: 

Func Main()

   while 1
   calls_waiting()
   WEnd


EndFunc
