Wont show windows

[qazwsx]

For some reason my script won't show the windows after i press esc the second time.

expandcollapse popup

#include <misc.au3>

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Variables
Global $i
Global $key
Global $list
$key = "{esc}"
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Setup
HotKeySet ($key, "_hide")
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;



While 1
Sleep (1000)

WEnd


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Funcs
Func _hide()
        $list = WinList()
        For $i = 1 to $list[0][0]
        If $list[$i][0] <> "" Then
            WinSetState($list[$i][1], "", @SW_HIDE)
        EndIf
        Next
        HotKeySet ($key)
        HotKeySet ($key, "_show")
EndFunc  ;==>_hide

Func _show()
        For $i = 1 To $list[0][0]
        If $list[$i][0] <> "" Then
            WinSetState($list[$i][1], "", @SW_SHOW)
        EndIf
        Next
        HotKeySet ($key)
        HotKeySet ($key), "_hide")
EndFunc  ;==>_show

Im probable just forgetting something stupid, but i can't seem to find it.

Change $Key to something else. I suspect that after the first time Esc is defaulting to the normal exit on esc.

I added msgboxes to see where it was going wrong and for some reason esc only calls the hide function it never switches over to the _show one. Also in the help file it says "AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then" But scite give me an error about is visible when i use that.

Edit: never mind about the is visible part.

What I was trying to say is change your hot key to something other than {ESC} and see what it does. The default action for Esc is to close the GUI. Also take a look at

AutoItSetOption("GUICloseOnESC", <val>)

The default value is 1 which means close the GUI and I think that is what is happening.

A value of 0 will change that behavior.

To summarize

Either

1) Change the HotKey

2) Add ("GUICloseOnESC", 0) at the top of the script.
