Zorder problem - example script here

[sulfurious]

I am constantly running into this problem. If my script creates more than one gui, and dropaccepted is implemented, the underlying form, if it is higher zorder, messes with lower zorder drops.

In this example click the option menu (function). Then drop stuff in the input boxes. There are spots that will give a fatal error. It depends on what is behind it. Try missing the input box and dropping it just to the left of the close button. There is a spot there that repeats every time.

I have tried everything I could find in the help file. OnTop, focus, switch, those kinds of things. Nothing seems to work if the zorder is out. I don't think positioning of the forms so they do not overlap is a good solution. Especially when you have 3 or 4 forms, each with drop zones.

Can anyone figure this out? Cause I can't seem to be able to.

late,

Sul

Hello,

I have constated that the bug apperars when the second window and the main are superposed.

When I move the second window, until they aren't superposed yet, there is no bug more.

I have completed your two functions _Close() and _showFrm2() like this :

Func _Close()
    GUISwitch($winMAIN)
    WinMove("WinMain","",$position[0],$position[1])
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$winFrm2)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$winMAIN)
EndFunc


Func _showFrm2()
    GUISwitch($winFrm2)
    $position=WinGetPos("WinMain")
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$winMAIN)
    WinMove("WinMain","",@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$winFrm2)
EndFunc

with a global var "position"

I have no more problem

Nice. I had not thought about shuttling the form out of the way in that manner. Thanks.

I would say it's a bug.

Even if you comment out all the DROPACCEPTED lines it will crash when something is dropped onto $winFrm2, if $winMAIN is behind. However, if I drag and drop things onto $winMAIN, with $winFrm2 behind it, I haven't been able to make it crash.
