SpookMeister Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I want to know if I am on the right track, or if there is a better way to approach what I am trying to do. -I have a situation where I will have a few different situations where I will have a child GUI in my application. -There will only ever be one child window open at any given time. What I'm wanting to know is should I be rebuilding the same $ChildGUI as I go, or should I be making a different Child GUI for each use and/or page of each use that I need? Code Framework: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "MyESC") Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode $MainGUI = GUICreate("MainGUI", 200, 200) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSE_Clicked") $menu_File = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File") $menu_Help = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Help") $menu_Exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $menu_File) $menu_Tutorial = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Tutorial", $menu_Help) $menu_About = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About", $menu_Help) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($menu_Exit, "CLOSE_Clicked") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($menu_About, "ABOUT_Clicked") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($menu_Tutorial, "TUTORIAL_Clicked") $ChildGUI = GUICreate("ChildGUI", 400, 400) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSE_Clicked") GUISwitch($MainGUI) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $MainGUI) While 1 Sleep(1000) WEnd Func TUTORIAL_Clicked() GUICtrlSetState($menu_About, $GUI_DISABLE) ; make $ChildGUI a tutorial (like a wizard) ; add labels images and next/exit buttons GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ChildGUI) ; reset $ChildGUI's look after each 'Next' EndFunc ;==>TUTORIAL_Clicked Func ABOUT_Clicked() GUICtrlSetState($menu_About, $GUI_DISABLE) ; make $ChildGUI an 'about' window with ; an OK button GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ChildGUI) EndFunc ;==>ABOUT_Clicked Func MyESC() ; do nothing (I don't like ESC exiting the program) EndFunc ;==>MyESC Func CLOSE_Clicked() If @GUI_WinHandle = $MainGUI Then Exit Else GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ChildGUI) GUICtrlSetState($menu_About, $GUI_ENABLE) GUICtrlSetState($menu_Tutorial, $GUI_ENABLE) EndIf EndFunc ;==>CLOSE_Clicked [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible.

Simucal Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I would suggest making a different child gui for each of your situations.. rather than rebuilding it. I have a script with 5 possible windows and they all work fine open at the same time. While I don't use OnEventMode, I dont see that being an issue for you. AutoIt Scripts:Aimbot: Proof of Concept - PixelSearching Aimbot with several search/autoshoot/lock-on techniques.Sliding Toolbar - Add a nice Sliding Toolbar to your next script. Click the link to see an animation of it in action!FontInfo UDF - Get list of system fonts, or search to see if a particular font is installed.Get Extended Property UDF - Retrieve a files extended properties (e.g., video/image dimensions, file version, bitrate of song/video, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealric Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 $gui= GUICreate("Title", 380, 450, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $parent) I would suggest using something similar above for the child windows, noting that $parent = the name of the parent GUI.
