GUISetOnEvent

[Jabberwock]

Are there more options for GUISetOnEvent ? i've found that you run into big problems when using 2 or more GUI's in one application, for example, Parent GUI, and Child GUI, if you're using GUISetOnEvent you can't detect whether it came from the parent or the child (To my knowlege), now this is necessary mainly in one option, $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, say you close the child, it will close both. I did end up writing Case $msg[0] = $blah but i have found that GUICtrlSetOnEvent($blah, 'blahFunc') is MUCH MUCH faster, i'm talking noticeable !

So if you know how to fix this please let me know! If there isn't a way out there know, I hope the devs add in something to detect which gui it came from and execute the func desired.

Try using this template I have created. It works great with multiple GUI's.

It can even handle 3rd level GUI's.

I hope this helps,

Could you possibly give an example with another GUI in there, I can't seem to get it right, it keeps closing both when i close the child, i put msg boxes at every exit point and can't seem to find out where it's coming from.

Nvm, I think I got it !, Thank you very much for your help

No problem...

You may also want to consider using Functions to create your GUI's that way everything to recreate each GUI is right there in the function. You wont have to worry with hiding it and what not.
