Multiple GUI Display Problem

[autocomplex]

I am trying to get a script to work that allows the user to select which gui to display. It then hides the selection screen and displays the GUI, that the user has selected (ALL OF THIS WORKS ). However, when the user clicks a menu button to go back to the selection screen it supposed to hide the user-defined gui and once again display the selection gui, thus brining us back to the begining.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $selection = 0

;ROOT GUI
$SELECTGUI = GUICreate("", 301, 186, 359, 202)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)

$AFRadio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 162, 130, 15, 15)
$AFLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Option 1", 177, 130, 95, 15)

$NextButton = GUICtrlCreateButton(">> Next >>", 104, 160, 75, 17, 0)

;OPTION 1 GUI

$AFGUI = GUICreate("AF", 266, 351, 359, 202)
GUISetFont(8, 400, 0, "@Arial Unicode MS")
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)

$AFMenuFile = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
$AFMenuStart = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Start!", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuStop = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Stop", $AFMenuFile)
$AFSelection = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Selection Menu", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuPreferences = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Preferences", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuExit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $AFMenuFile)

;MAIN LOOP
While 1
   
    Selection()
    BackToSelection()
   
   
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
       
    Case $msg = $AFSelection
        BackToSelection()

    EndSelect

Wend   

Func Selection()
    While $selection = 0

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
         

         Case $msg = $AFRadio
            $selection = 1
           
        Case $msg = $PCRadio
            $selection = 2
           
        Case $msg = $PFRadio
            $selection = 3
           
        Case $msg = $HMRadio
            $selection = 4 

        Case $msg = $NextButton 

        If $selection = 1 Then
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $SELECTGUI)
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $AFGUI)
        EndIf

    EndSelect   
    Wend
EndFunc 

Func BackToSelection()
    If $selection = 0 Then
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $AFGUI)
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $SELECTGUI)
    EndIf   
EndFunc

I cant get it to close the OPTION 1 GUI and display the ROOT GUI again.

Note, I know it says 4, but i shortened it to one for example purposes.

Can you post some code which we could run?

When looking at the code it seems the selection variable never gets reset to 0 thus the backtoselection function won't do anything. When I work with multiple gui's I usually prefer to work with just one loop if I can. Otherwise I tend to chase my tail a lot. I'd end up doing it something like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $selection = 0

;ROOT GUI
$SELECTGUI = GUICreate("", 301, 186, 359, 202)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)

$AFRadio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 162, 130, 15, 15)
$AFLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Option 1", 177, 130, 95, 15)

$NextButton = GUICtrlCreateButton(">> Next >>", 104, 160, 75, 17, 0)

;OPTION 1 GUI

$AFGUI = GUICreate("AF", 266, 351, 359, 202)
GUISetFont(8, 400, 0, "@Arial Unicode MS")
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)

$AFMenuFile         = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
$AFMenuStart        = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Start!", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuStop         = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Stop", $AFMenuFile)
$AFSelection        = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Selection Menu", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuPreferences  = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Preferences", $AFMenuFile)
$AFMenuExit         = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $AFMenuFile)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$SELECTGUI)
;MAIN LOOP

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Select
        Case $msg[0] = $AFRadio And $msg[1] = $SELECTGUI
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $SELECTGUI)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $AFGUI)
        ;Case $msg[0] = $PCRadio
        ;Case $msg[0] = $PFRadio
        ;Case $msg[0] = $HMRadio
        ;Case $msg[0] = $NextButton
        Case $msg[0] = $AFSelection And $msg[1] = $AFGUI
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $AFGUI)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $SELECTGUI)
    EndSelect
Until $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
