While Loop not working...

[dandymcgee]

I just finished making this very simple GUI trying to practice my GUI skills. For some reason I can't get it to stay open no matter what I do. It seems as if While 1 loops isn't working for me... Here is what I have written:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Main Window", 200, 200)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Pause", 110, 160, 60, 20)
$button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Number Two", 105, 130, 70, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $button
            MsgBox(0, "Testing...", "Button 1")
        Case $msg = $button2
            MsgBox(0, "Testing...", "Button 2")
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

Now I'm sure there must be some really stupid mistake somewhere, but I don't see it. Sorry if this was a waste of your time, but I really can't figure this out. Thanks in advance.

You just wrote "Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE"

Replace it with "Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE"

LOL, Wow that sure is by far the dumbest mistake I've ever made lol. Thanks for taking the time to reply .

You could do it like you originally made it with a Switch statement.

While 1
    Local $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Hmmm... I've never really looked at a switch statement. That's pretty cool thanks Somniis.

You think that's a bad mistake? You should see some of my crap.

While Not Closing

$count = $count += $count + 1

WEnd

I seriously wrote that at one point.

@IceKirby1 - Lol, what exactly was that code meant to do? Looks like you were trying to break the record for most errors in fewest lines of code
