How to get GUI to close without user intervention...

[Dan Bratt]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the attached script. If you look at the attached script, you'll

see that I'm trying to display a GUI at the start of the job and then close the GUI at

the end. I can't get it to close automatically. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

RunBackup.au3

must be within the "runwait"

this works

;Purpose: Script to control UPS daily backup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)

GUICreate("Run Backup", 210, 80)

$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Running UPS Backup...", 10, 10)
GUISetState() ; display the GUI
RunBck()
GUIDelete() 
Exit

EndFunc

probaly cuz it takes time for the thing to backup so with the RunWait will wait till the cmd exits but its waiting to finish the backup so it wont delete till after the wait and ur not letting it wait enough

Straight from the help file

After running the requested program the script pauses until the program terminates.

idk really im just guessing

I figured out that my filecopy was taking over 3 minutes. I'm copying the file to

a server on the network. Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction at

least.
