Hey guys, its been a long time since I posted on here, I got busy with other stuff and I need some help in this script I'm making. The purpose of the script is to hide windows, then unhide them. The problem I'm having is with the GUI stuff. I wanted to use a hotkey to bring up the window and then the same hotkey to bring up the password window which will unhide all the windows. Here, I'll post the code and you guys help me out. 

Global $AutoHide_GUI, $Button_Hide, $Button_UnHide, $Checkbox_Chats, $Checkbox_D2, $CheckBox_IE, $Group_Checkboxes, $InputPW_GUI, $Input_PW, $Unhide_done

#include <String.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
HotKeySet("!z", "Auto_Hide")

What problem I'm having with that is that when I press the hotkey to bring up the password window, it INTERRUPTS the hiding process, which I put in loop on purpose. So it will stop hiding, is there a way to re-script this in some better way?

I took out the distracting gui and reduced it to esentials:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

HotKeySet("!z", "Auto_Hide"); Alt-z to hide

HotKeySet("!+z", "Auto_Unhide"); Alt-Shift-z to unhide

AdlibEnable("Hide_Unhide", 250)

While 1
    Sleep(250)
Wend

Func Hide_Unhide()
    WinSetState("Palm", "", $GUI_CHECKED)
    
    WinSetState("MSN Messenger", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Yahoo! Messenger", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Instant Message", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("- Conversation", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Voice Chat", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Offline Messages", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Text Message", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("TopazChat", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("MSN", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Chat Room", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("- Chat Window", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Xfire", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("- Group Chat", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Webcam for", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Sign On", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Sign In", "", $Gui_State)
    WinSetState("Accept Message - ", "", $Gui_State)
    
    WinSetState("- Microsoft Internet Explorer", "", $Gui_State)
    
    WinSetState("Diablo II", "", $Gui_State)
EndFunc;==>Hide_Unhide

Func Auto_Hide()
    $Gui_State = @SW_HIDE
EndFunc;==>Auto_Hide

Func Auto_Unhide()
    $Gui_State = @SW_SHOW
EndFunc;==>Auto_Unhide

The idea is to use the same code to either hide or unhide by just changing the value of $Gui_State. AdlibEnable runs the function Hide_Unhide() every 250ms. You can put back the logic you really need to provide conditional operation, like your Chats, and password operation.

Hope that helps! :think:

Edit: Tweaked with AdlibEnable().

Thats smartly put. But dude, I coulda done something like that too. The point is that I want to challenge myself and see what I can do. I already have a windows hider which hides windows at certain hotkey. But I make my script repeatedly press the hotkey to keep hiding any new windows. I can get the job done cheap, but I want to be challenged and I want to learn more about GUI stuff, etc. So can you help me out with the GUI problem? Because it works fine, until I press hotkey to show up the pwinput window, becuase hotkeys pause current process. That means the loop to keep hiding windows jsut stops.

Put the hide options in a seperate function and take a look at AdlibEnable().

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

I can get the job done cheap, but I want to be challenged and I want to learn more about GUI stuff, etc. So can you help me out with the GUI problem? Because it works fine, until I press hotkey to show up the pwinput window, becuase hotkeys pause current process. That means the loop to keep hiding windows jsut stops.

Did you notice that the Hide_Unhide() function keeps updating the window states because of AdlibEnable(), while the hotkeys update what state to put them in? As I said before, just put the gui back in as required (leaving you the 'challenge' you desired). :(

Put the gui in a function and just call it from the hotkeys themselves:

Func Auto_Hide()
    $Gui_State = @SW_HIDE
    Gui_Func()
EndFunc;==>Auto_Hide

Func Auto_Unhide()
    $Gui_State = @SW_SHOW
    Gui_Func()
EndFunc;==>Auto_Unhide

AdlibEnable() will continue to update the window states while Gui_Func() is running.

Is that clearer? You still need to write Gui_Func(). :think:

Yea, I kinda get what you guys are saying, but also, when you call function from a function, isn't that recursion? I want to avoid recursion completely. Because that last code salty wrote has a hotkey, which calls another function. The hotkey already IS a function. Calling mroe functions from within a function is bad right? Because of recursion limits script might stop.

Functions calling functions is normal and healthy, in fact downright necesary to efficient code. The problem you may be thinking of is a loop of functions calling each other, which the programmer is responsible for avoiding. So it's worth thinking about when you code your fuctions, but don't let it stop you from calling other functions.

:think:

P.S. Who's that in the picture with the guitar? Is that you, your son, grandson, great-grandson... ? :(

Ok thankyou a lot guys. I got the script working and it works perfect. I put the adlib at 5 seconds. Because if you put it often, it takes some time to hide the windows. Also, is there a way to hide all the windows quicker? That process takes some time, not a lot, but I wanna know if we can quicken that hiding time.

Also, thats my with my guitar, and thats a really long time ago so I'm gonna upload my new pics.
