Marklar Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) I have a main window which shows my menu. I click on a menu item and it opens a new child window. I click on the main menu again, with the child window open or minimized, and select something else so that I can have two child windows open. But, if i had a menu, or button, in the first child window that opened... It will open up the second child window just fine. How come the window underneath wont respond to anything I click on? Any examples of multitasking/multiwindowed autoit apps? Edited July 4, 2006 by Marklar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marfdaman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I don't think I understand. Could you clarify this a bit?

Marklar Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) With this code here. I can only open Child Window A or Child Window B but not Both at the same time. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIconstants.au3> $main_window = GUICreate("My GUI menu",300,200) $menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("Windows") $menuitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Child Window A",$menu) $menuitem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Child Window B",$menu) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg(1) Select case $msg[0] = $menuitem1 AND $msg[1] = $main_window child_a() Case $msg[0] = $menuitem2 AND $msg[1] = $main_window child_b() case $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE AND $msg[1] = $main_window ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd Exit Func child_a() $child_a = GUICreate("Child Window A",200,200,-1,-1,-1,-1,$main_window) GUISetState() While 1 $cmsga = GUIGetMsg(1) Select case $cmsga[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE AND $cmsga[1] = $child_a ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$child_a) Return EndFunc Func child_b() $child_b = GUICreate("Child Window B",200,200,-1,-1,-1,-1,$main_window) GUISetState() While 1 $cmsgb = GUIGetMsg(1) Select case $cmsgb[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE AND $cmsgb[1] = $child_b ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$child_b) Return EndFunc Edited July 5, 2006 by Marklar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marfdaman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 O, but that's not very surprising, because as soon as you create one window, your script gets stuck in that window's while loop, and it's GuiGetMsg doesn't check for the menu-event. I will post an updated version in some minutes Alzo Don't take my pic to serious...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You Looked, but you did not see!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marfdaman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Think this should work: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIconstants.au3> $main_window = GUICreate("My GUI menu",300,200) $menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("Windows") $menuitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Child Window A",$menu) $menuitem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Child Window B",$menu) Dim $child_a, $child_b GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $msg[0] case $menuitem1 child_a() Case $menuitem2 child_b() case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Switch $msg[1] Case $main_window Exit Case $child_a GUIDelete($child_a) Case $child_b GUIDelete($child_B) EndSwitch EndSwitch WEnd Exit Func child_a() $child_a = GUICreate("Child Window A",200,200) GUISetState() EndFunc Func child_b() $child_b = GUICreate("Child Window B",200,200) GUISetState() EndFunc Alzo Don't take my pic to serious...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You Looked, but you did not see!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklar Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) oh... so i just need to do something like this? case $cmsgb[0] = $menuitem1 AND $cmsgb[1] = $main_window child_a() Saw your post... that would be easier.. thanks Edited July 5, 2006 by Marklar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
