Second gui demolishes buttons from the first gui

[Yolowbeard]

Hello, I am new here. I've started my adventure with AutoIt about a month ago. I am NOT a hacker or cheater and everything I do with AutoIt is meant to help me at work.

 

On topic:

I've created a macro managing program, this program has two gui's, the first one is a general one, where I can set up multiple clicks or open a window that allows me to allocate hotkeys, which, for example, set up an "if" condition I usually use, a loop, function and other stuff I use on a daily basis. The macro button is the issue, because I made it to open a new window (gui) that allows me to set up a button, and when this particular window opens, the first gui loses help button (is grayed) and, in some cases, two other buttons sometimes pick up values of the second gui, and say "No hotkey" instead of "Attach hotkey" and "Normalize mouse clicks".

This is how it's supposed to look:

 

This is how it looks after the new gui appears:

 

 

You see the "?" button is grayed now. Nothing else changed because I was lucky or something, and if I close the second gui, nothing changes in the first one. This is still work in progress, so it sure looks ugly. I "solved" that by deleting the first gui after the second is created, and then create the first one after deleting the second, but it doesn't have a pretty good effect. Is there any way to fix this?

 

PS: all buttons have different variables assigned to them. I checked 5 times to make sure I didn't F up anything.

Yolowbeard,

I suggest posting your code - see here how to do it.  Then we might get an idea as to why this is happening.

I accidentally pasted the version with the deletion of gui and re-creation. Just ignore the GUIDelete($Gui_) and Call("MacroManagerGUI") - these are added to remove and create back the first gui so everything works fine. Also, I don't know how to edit posts, so sorry about it.

Yolowbeard,

Posting 2 functions does not help much, we need to see the whole thing so the interactions between the various sections are clear.

And looking at the code, you might want to read the Forum rules before you post again - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation. At the moment I am happy for the thread to remain open as the problem is one of GUI interaction, but please be careful about what you post in future.
