jhonson 0 Posted June 14, 2019 Hello, i'm learning autoit and i have come up with a problem. I wanted to create a help window from a button click, everything works clean except for the button which flickers. The flickering stops when i remove "GUICtrlSetState($help, $GUI_ENABLE)" line from the script and also when the "help" or "ok" button is clicked the flickering stops. What am i doing wrong? #RequireAdmin #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $main = GUICreate("", 317, 317, 1030, 115, $WS_POPUPWINDOW ,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 222, 30, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG) Global $helpwindow = 9999, $ok GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) HotKeySet ("{numpad9}", "MyExit") $help = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 227, 3, 24, 24) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $help GUICtrlSetState($help, $GUI_DISABLE) $helpwindow = GUICreate("", 317, 317, 1030, 115, $WS_POPUPWINDOW ,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 161, 277, 150, 34) Case $msg = $ok GUIDelete($helpwindow) GUICtrlSetState($help, $GUI_ENABLE) ;flickering stops when this line is removed EndSelect WEnd Func MyExit() Exit EndFunc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nine 992 Posted June 14, 2019 You do not even need 2 GUIs. Just one would work like this : ;#RequireAdmin #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $main = GUICreate("", 317, 317, 1030, 115, $WS_POPUPWINDOW ,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) $help = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 227, 3, 24, 24) GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 222, 30, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG) $ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 161, 277, 150, 34) GUICtrlSetState (-1, $GUI_HIDE) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) HotKeySet ("{numpad9}", "MyExit") While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $help GUICtrlSetState($ok, $GUI_SHOW) GUICtrlSetState($help, $GUI_HIDE) Case $ok GUICtrlSetState($ok, $GUI_HIDE) GUICtrlSetState($help, $GUI_SHOW) EndSwitch WEnd Func MyExit() Exit EndFunc Not much of a signature but working on it...
