Button does not respond

[Raja]

Hi

Looking forward to some help and learn what should have been the correct way to do this task.

I am obviously doing something wrong as the OK button for $gui_2 does not respond in the code below, though it does work when the Func_1() is called on its own and not from within OK_1(). Same is true for the Close event.

The code below is a sample of the actual code I am working on.

Also,

1. What is the best way to unload/delete $gui_1 when loading $gui_2. I have used "GUIDelete($gui_1)" as the first line for each Case statement in $gui_2.

2. In $gui_2, on entering the password, is it possible to enable to get the focus on OK button so that {Enter} key can be pressed to click on OK button.

Many thanks in advance.

Raja

There's no need for another loop after you create the second GUI. Remove that and you are good to go.

Thank you so much!

Much appreciate your help as I would have never been able to resolve this as I assumed the While/Wend loop is must for showing the GUI.

Could you please also help with the other two questions I have.

Thanks again

Raja

1- Well... GUIDelete() is fine, I suppose. But it's better to use GUISetState() with flag @SW_HIDE if the window will be used later. When you want to show it back, use GUISetState with flag @SW_SHOW. Should be better than creating the GUI again.

2- If you use the style $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON for the OK button, it will be the default button and will be pressed when you hit enter.

Once again, many thanks!

I do really appreciate your help and the quick response, could not have asked for anything more.

Cheers
