Above is my code.  The two functions involved with the "child" gui (I'm not sure if that's right or not) are   _updateCPpanel   and   _updateSIRENpanel  .

What I want to happen is if I go to update a CP or SIREN panel from a file a little gui asks what type of control panel is plugged in, user clicks the relevant button, child gui goes away, it selects the correct file based on what button was pressed in child gui, and continues in the main chunk of code where it left off.

 

Right now I click a button on the child gui and it finds the file and updates the panel....then the child gui goes away BUT the main chunk of code doesn't continue where it left off.

I haven't tried to run your code, however after a quick glance, I don't see where you exit the While loop in the function _updateSIRENpanel(). You just close the GUI and carry on looping. Maybe using ExitLoop will fix it. I'm not sure if that's where you are stuck.

One way:

While 1
            $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
            Switch $nMsg
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    ExitLoop

                Case $SIRENconsRotary
                    _findFwFile('control_panels\', "CP_SO_RE_v02_*.enc")
                    $SIRENpanelStatus = $status
                    ExitLoop

                Case $SIRENconsPush
                    _findFwFile('control_panels\', "CP_SO_RE_v02_*.enc")
                    $SIRENpanelStatus = $status
                    ExitLoop

                Case $SIRENremPush
                    _findFwFile('control_panels\', "CP_SO_RE_v02_*.enc")
                    $SIRENpanelStatus = $status
                    ExitLoop

                Case $SIRENremRotary
                    _findFwFile('control_panels\', "CP_SO_RR_v01_*.enc")
                    $SIRENpanelStatus = $status
                    ExitLoop

                Case $SIRENhandheld
                    _findFwFile('control_panels\', "CP_SO_HH_v02_*.enc")
                    $SIRENpanelStatus = $status
                    ExitLoop

            EndSwitch
        WEnd
        GUIDelete($handle)

I was using GUIDelete to close the child Gui.  I just assumed that would exit that loop and return to the original.

I will try ExitLoop.  Where should I put ExitLoop? should it be within each of the Child gui's cases? Before/After GUIDelete?

[czardas]

Try replacing the loop with the one in my edited post above and see if that helps. Notice that I close the GUI after exiting the loop.

Above is the code after I added the ExitLoop and it goes back to the main chunk of code again when its run, YAY! Thank you!

My only other issue now is that I would like to have the child gui go away as soon as a button is selected.  Any ideas on how to get that to work?

[Shedunn]

My first thought would be to make each case set a variable to a certain number and exit the loop, then use an if, else if loop to look at the variable and if its this number use this file...and so on...the only issue I can see with that is that I would have to use a nested if...and autoit doesn't seem to like those.

[czardas]

I'm glad that got it going again. I don't have time to look in detail right now. The sequence I gave was just an example. You can code this differently - closing the GUI immediately before further processing takes place. It all depends on the order in which you do things. Sometimes you can change the sequence and sometimes doing that will break things. I suggest you look for where you are experiencing lag and see if you can close the GUI earlier in the code. Check everything works.
