sub gui window, need clarification

[soulhealer]

hi, i made a simple sub gui window, but when i close that sub gui window, the main gui window, doesn't work anymore a.k.a i can't control it anymore, though it still there.

here's my script:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 235, 76,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Continue", 10, 20, 100, 30)

$Button_2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 130, 20, 100, 30)

GuiSetState()

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $Button_2 OR $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_1

Gui2()

Case Else

;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

Exit

Func Gui2()

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 168, 81,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Close Gui2 Only", 10, 20, 140, 40)

GuiSetState()

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $Button_1 OR $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

GuiDelete()

Case Else

;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

EndFunc

this is one way

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$G1 = GUICreate("MyGUI", 235, 76, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Continue", 10, 20, 100, 30)
$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 130, 20, 100, 30)
GUISetState()

$G2 = GUICreate("MyGUI", 168, 81, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Button_1A = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close Gui2 Only", 10, 20, 140, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $Button_2 Or $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $Button_1
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $G2)
        Case $msg = $Button_1A
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $G2)
        Case Else
           ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

I wanted to add a question that is closely related to this post that how darn do you keep that sub gui REMAIN and ALWAYS stay at top of the main gui where user cant click the main gui to bring it to front again? WinSetOnTop doesnt seem to stay at top. Any ideas?

[soulhealer]

hm, interesting, i'd gladly to know that too, and also, i wanna know how to make the sub gui window is close-able(thru the X button-the top-right edge of the window one) without closing the entire gui window. i mean, i want $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE to be specified only to certain sub gui windows.

I have recently also posted that.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$G1 = GUICreate("MyGUI", 235, 76, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Continue", 10, 20, 100, 30)
$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 130, 20, 100, 30)
GUISetState()

$G2 = GUICreate("MyGUI", 168, 81, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Button_1A = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close Gui2 Only", 10, 20, 140, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $Button_2 Or $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            $Hwnd = WinGetHandle('')
            If $Hwnd = $G1 Then ;maingui - exit
                 Exit
            ElseIf $Hwnd = $G2 Then
                 GUIDelete($G2)
             EndIf
        Case $msg = $Button_1
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $G2)
        Case $msg = $Button_1A
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $G2)
        Case Else
           ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

Anyone?

[soulhealer]

Anyone?

i found a way, it's not 'disallow' the user click the main gui, but i hide the main gui instead, using @SW_HIDE, when the sub gui is opened.

[Blackstar]

Well, i dont want to 'hide' it. I just need it for About box...showing the About box gui and same time hiding the main gui seems so unprofessional...

use @SW_DISABLE and @SW_ENABLE, to disable or enable the window
