Quit program

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

I made a program that uses includes to open 2 other programs, so when button1 is pressed it runs this:

#include "FILENAME.au3"

The other button works the same. But when I close the program by pressing the X on the upper right side, it closes all windows, not only the window from the include. I tried to do it with GUIdelete() , that works, but when I click the buton again, it doesnt open anymore. So the question is: How to exit an include, without quitting the whole program?

Thanks!

can u post the code

Hi,

make it a childGUI and have a look at GuiGetMsg( PARAMETER!!!)

So long,

Xenobiologist, could you please help me with that (By PM maybe?)? It just isnt clear for me on how to do it. the helpfile only explains it with an empty dialogbox. Thanks!

if im correct im learning something but a child gui is a gui that is not the main yet still has a mind of it own just like unplugging ur phone from a wall if battery full it becomes a child gui once unplugged as it acts on its own accord so once u create the child gui it acts in itself the and

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

then works only for the child gui

got it?

cheers C.W

#include "FILENAME.au3"

The #include statement is found and executed by the AutoIt compiler before the rest of the script is interpreted at all, and it is NOT conditional.

Could you please make an example with one button at each window for using the child GUI?

The #include statement is found and executed by the AutoIt compiler before the rest of the script is interpreted at all, and it is NOT conditional.

Sorry, but you wrong here ...

Script.au3:

$Var = 0

If $Var = 1 Then
    #include ".\Inc.au3"
EndIfoÝ÷ Ø   ݶ"w»Ûjëh×6MsgBox(0, "", "Hello from Inc.au3 script ;)")

Save them in one directory, and run Script.au3, you will not get anything, but if you set $Var = 1, then you see a message box

When i just started to learn AutoIt, i thought that this way the includes are work, and we need to include them as part of our script, so the condition part will not be messed/confusing... but today i know, this is not a correct way to handle our projects

Thanks all, how can I show the child gui when a button is pressed, instead of showing it immediately?

[MrCreatoR]

how can I show the child gui when a button is pressed

Just move the line GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $child_GUI) under button condition (If $msg = $Button Then ...).

[star2]

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$main_GUI = GUICreate ("Main GUI", 200 , 100,-1,-1,$WS_POPUPWINDOW + $WS_THICKFRAME)
$b_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show Child GUI", 10, 20,120, 30)
$x = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 10, 60,120, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $main_GUI)
$a = WinGetPos ($main_GUI)
$child_GUI = GUICreate("Child GUI",200,100,$a[0] + 210 , $a[1],$WS_POPUPWINDOW + $WS_THICKFRAME)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is the Child GUI", 50, 30,120, 30)
$b_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close Child GUI", 40, 60,120, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $child_GUI)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $x
            Exit
        Case $msg = $b_1
            GUISetState (@SW_SHOW, $child_GUI)
            GUICtrlSetState ($b_1 , $gui_disable)
        Case $msg = $b_2
            GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $child_GUI)
            GUICtrlSetState ($b_1 , $gui_enable)
    EndSelect
WEnd

How do you know from that if the code from the #include was substituted or not, since the code would not be executed by the If statement any way? Since function declarations are the most common use of #include files, and Func cannot be used conditionally, how would that make sense? What if $Var depended on Run-Time conditions? How would the compiler know whether is should have included or not back at Compile-Time?

Well, first of all i am not sure if i following you, but, if you include a script (conditionaly) that contain Func...EndFunc, the Syntax Check will alert about syntax error, but eventualy, the point is, that you can (but not neccessary) include scripts like this, i just wanted to show that your statment:

The #include statement is found and executed by the AutoIt compiler before the rest of the script is interpreted at all, and it is NOT conditional.

Is not quite correct, sorry for that, its just i thought that you might want to know about this autoit's ability .

I'm willing to be wrong (wouldn't surprise anyone around this forum), but I don't think I am. In your example, the code expanded from the #include file might be EXECUTED conditionally (leading to errors if there are any function declarations), but it will be expanded unconditionally. The resulting code is:

$Var = 0

If $Var = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Hello from Inc.au3 script :-)") ; This line from #include <Inc.au3>
EndIfoÝ÷ Ø(Z§Ø^½©nzôߥZ­Ú²}ýµÈZ¢~Ø^w%¹×¢²«¨¶)Üç^v«¨¶ç¢Ú'(¶¡× zÛÅç.µçSè§r[y×âè¬{Z×{h¶¬r¸©¶éÜ¢wb¶*'jYrN«{¬jw¶ÚârKhué¨Ëkj×­+-«n±çm£

If $Var = 1 Then
    #include ".\Inc.au3"
EndIf

FileInstall(">AUTOIT UNICODE SCRIPT<", @ScriptDir & "\TestAutoIt.au3")
Run('notepad.exe "' & @ScriptDir & '\TestAutoIt.au3"')

The file that was output would be your script as seen by the interpreter, with all #include files expanded in place. You could try it with an old version of AutoIt to see what it does.
