Messed coordinates

[enaiman]

This is how my GUI is looking normally:

Today I've been adding another GUI (created using Koda form) and run it at the begining

The purpose of it: to set 1 flag variable, to delete itself and give control back to main

After the control is given back to main, the main GUI looks like this:

Somehow the coordinates are messed and I don't have any idea how to fix this.

The whole code is veeery big (1500+ lines) so it is useless to put it here. I will put which segments will be needed.

Thank you for any suggestion.

That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I would guess it has something to do with AutoIt's internal workings. That is unless you make any changes while it is inactive.

thank you for your reply Mr Icekirby

I will try to offer some details:

here is the original code:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$decision = MsgBox(52,"Warning","This program needs TeraTerm started in ""log"" mode." & @CRLF & "If you want to continue it will close any ""COM1"" instance of TeraTerm." & @CRLF & "Be sure to save your work before clicking ""Yes""." & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Do you want to continue?")
    Select
       Case $decision = 6;Yes
            If WinExists("COM1 - Tera Term", "") Then WinClose("COM1 - Tera Term", "")
            If WinExists("Tera Term: Log", "Filename") Then WinClose("Tera Term: Log", "Filename")
       Case $decision = 7;No
            Exit
    EndSelect
$Form1 = GUICreate("Extreme Network Switch Configuration v. 1.0", 519, 497, 193, 115)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "AForm1Close")
$bootrom = GUICtrlCreateButton("BootRom Check", 36, 374, 109, 33, 0)
and the rest of the code follows ....

what I've added is:

between EndSelect and $Form 1:

Dim $interface_flag = 0, $mode="", $safe, $expert, $sure, $interface_ch
interface_choice()
Do 
Sleep(500)
Until $interface_flag = 1

this is added at the end (before GUISetState(@SW_SHOW))

Select
    Case $mode ="safe"
        choice_mode($GUI_DISABLE)
    Case $mode ="expert"
        choice_mode($GUI_ENABLE)
    Case Else
        MsgBox(16,"Error","Mode choice error.")
        Exit
EndSelect

and the "interface_choice()" function is:

expandcollapse popup

Func interface_choice()
    $interface_ch = GUICreate("Choose Level", 219, 130, 196, 113)
    GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 8, 25, 201, 65)
    $safe = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Safe Interface", 18, 40, 161, 17)
    $expert = GUICtrlCreateRadio("@$#%$# I know what I'm doing", 18, 63, 177, 17)
;GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
    $sure = GUICtrlCreateButton("&OK", 73, 99, 75, 25, 0)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "sureClick")
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Choose the interface type", 40, 8, 125, 17)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Func sureClick()
    Select
        Case GUICtrlRead($safe) = $GUI_CHECKED
            $mode = "safe"
            $interface_flag = 1
            GUIDelete($interface_ch)
        Case GUICtrlRead($expert) = $GUI_CHECKED    
            $mode = "expert"
            $interface_flag = 1
            GUIDelete($interface_ch)
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Func choice_mode($state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($bootrom, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($firmware, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($configure, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($diagnostics, $state1)
;GUICtrlSetState($mike_config, $GUI_DISABLE)
    GUICtrlSetState($tt_com1, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($tt_ip, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($temp_ip, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($set_tftp, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($ping_sw, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($login_sw, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($logout_sw, $state1)
    GUICtrlSetState($final_cfg, $state1)
EndFunc

This is everything I did - the original script works OK but with these additions, the GUI is messed up.

I tried to make the main GUI resizeable and once I've dragged a little bit from the lowest corner the GUI went back to normal ...

I don't know what this can be - the fact tis that this isn't the first GUI to put inside the main script - actually I've put there more than 10 and all went OK.

Anyway - a big Thanks for anyone willing to help.

I guess this is something very difficult to solve or it doesn't worth trying.

Anyway I found a workaround (holy workarounds ) and I've replaced the whole function with a menu; it doesn't have the graphic appearance but ... it works.

Thanks for anyone thinking about this issue.
