I create this GUI at the beginning of my script, for use later. When I need the GUI, I set it visible. So, why won't the OnEvent settings work?

Here is what I know:

OPT is not changed in the rest of the script.

The $GUI_CLOSE function works perfectly in the actual script, so I know that the Opt("...") is not getting changed

I have another GUI that works perfectly fine.

If I set the GUI to show, the everything works fine.

EDIT:

Adding the line:

GUISetState(@sw_show)

winsetstate("Limit Sort","",@SW_HIDE)

to the end of the GUI declaration works, but the GUI still flashes. Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?

#include<GUIconstants.au3>
#include<GUICOMBO.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUICreate("Limit Sort", 224, 171, 193, 115)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "GUIClose")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Sort By:", 6, 16, 41, 17)
$SortByCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 12, 161, 25)
guictrlsetdata($SortByCombo,"CN Number|AR Number|CFM Number")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($SortByCombo,"SortByComboChange")
_GUICtrlComboSelectString($SortByCombo, 0, "CN Number")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("From:", 6, 52, 30, 17)
$StartLimitCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 48, 161, 25)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("To:", 6, 86, 20, 17)
$EndLimitCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 82, 161, 25)
$SortButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("SortButton", 24, 118, 177, 41)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($SortButton, "SortButtonclick")
GUISetState(@sw_show)
winsetstate("Limit Sort","",@SW_HIDE)


ShowGUI()

while 1 
 sleep(100)
WEnd

func ShowGUI()
     WinSetState("Limit Sort","",@SW_SHOW)
endfunc

func SortButtonclick()
     msgbox(0,0,"The Sort button was clicked")
endfunc

func SortByComboChange()
     msgbox(0,0,"The Sort combo was changed")
endfunc

func GUIClose()
     msgbox(0,0,"Exit was clicked")
     exit
endfunc

For some reason, this is the line causing troubles:

;_GUICtrlComboSelectString($SortByCombo, 0, "CN Number")

Comment it out as in the above example, and everything will work well.

thanks for the quick reply, but I cannot duplicate your results. When I comment out that line, it still does not work for me.

I have the latest beta, the latest SciTE; everything is update.

If you comment out the above line and click on the combo so as to change its value, the correct msgbox will appear. Do not try to type something in, it won't work this way.

Tested using latest stable and latest beta.

Well I am not sure what to say- I did change the selection of the combo, and still there was no MSGBOX that appeared. I think that fundamentally the root of the problem has something to do with the fact that it "won't work" when something is typed in. Franky, it is a GUI Event problem, which typing is clearly a GUI event.

Hi orange,

There's a few things you should get sorted ..

To me it looks like your a bit confused with hiding or showing your GUI.

Your actually double handling the hide and show state with 2 functions wich serves no purpose apart from to baffle yourself :)

Since you are only hiding/showing your created AutoIt GUI window, put your GUI into a variable just use GuiSetState() to set the state of the GUI when needed. Also puting your GUI into a variable will latter help when your working with multiple GUI's in your script.

Drop the WinSetState completely ftm.

Another thing I notice is your using _GUICtrlComboSelectString($SortByCombo, 0, "CN Number")

To me this seems unneeded at that point in your script.

Since you could just as easily use GUICtrlSetData($SortByCombo,"CN Number|AR Number|CFM Number", "CN Number") to do the same thing. This way your script is not dependant upon another udf making it smaller in code in the long run.

Here's your script with the mentioned changes:

#include<GUIconstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Gui = GUICreate("Limit Sort", 224, 171, 193, 115)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "GUIClose", $Gui)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Sort By:", 6, 16, 41, 17)
$SortByCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 12, 161, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"CN Number|AR Number|CFM Number", "CN Number")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"SortByComboChange")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("From:", 6, 52, 30, 17)
$StartLimitCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 48, 161, 25)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("To:", 6, 86, 20, 17)
$EndLimitCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 54, 82, 161, 25)
$SortButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("SortButton", 24, 118, 177, 41)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "SortButtonclick")
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Gui)

ShowGUI()

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func ShowGUI()
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui)
EndFunc

Func SortButtonclick()
    MsgBox(0,0,"The Sort button was clicked")
EndFunc

Func SortByComboChange()
    MsgBox(0,0,"The Sort combo was changed")
EndFunc

Func GUIClose()
    MsgBox(0,0,"Exit was clicked")
    Exit
EndFunc

Cheers

Edit: Saw the post below.. that should of been GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Gui) when I posted, doh .. changed it to reflect what I mean...

thanks for the reply -

I do know that I do not need the WinSetState to hide and show the GUI. This was an example script as a part of a much larger script.

The larger script does need to hide and show the GUI, with the GUI hidden upon initialization, so that is why I have a function that hides and shows. Also, I can't make the GUI handle global because of some other issues, therefore WinSetState was my only option to hide and show the GUI within functions.

As for the _GUICombo thing, yeah, that was just stupid of me. Thanks!
