Easy problem but i can't see solution

[SoulBlade]

The following code creates GUI1 with a single button called Run1.

When Run1 is pressed a new GUI2 is created, with only a button called Run2.

When i press Run2, GUI2 is closed; only GUI1 remains.

Now with only GUI1 openned, i need to press 2 times to exit or 2 times to press Run1 again.

Does anyone know how to make GUI1 work with only 1 click after RUN2 is pressed?

Thanks for your help!

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <IE.au3>

$Gui=GUICreate("GUI1",514, 325)

$r=GUICtrlCreateButton("Run1", 207, 265, 100, 30)

GUISetState ()

Do

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg=$r

window2()

Case $msg= $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

EndSelect

Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func window2()

$rb=GUICreate("GUI2", 514, 325,-1,-1)

$Run = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run2", 207, 265, 100, 30)

GUISetState()

Do

$msgrb = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msgrb= $Run

GUIDelete($rb)

Case $msgrb= $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

GUIDelete($rb)

EndSelect

Until $msgrb = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

GUIDelete($rb)

EndFunc

I don't get that problem when I run your code. One press to close or start GUI2 again. BUt why have the GUIDelete in 2 places?

Thanks. Well i need do close GUI2 after pressing Run2. You're right i dont need 2 GUIDelete.

However my problem still persists - after pressing Run2 i need to press the "X" icon 2 times to close GUI1.

It's a small detail but is annoying me...

Any more ideias?

The only reason I can guess that you have the problem is that $GUI does not have the focus after GUI2 closes. So to see if this is correct add WinActivate($gui) after deleting GUI2.

When i press Run2, GUI2 is closed; only GUI1 remains.

When you press $Run2, GUI2 is deleted, but the execution stays in the 2nd loop, because loop exit condition is (Until $msgrb = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE) and clicking $Run2 obviously does not generate $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE message. While it stays in 2nd loop, it obviously does not execute conditions from your 1st loop, so GUI1 is unresponsive.

instead of

Case $msgrb= $Run
GUIDelete($rb)

Case $msgrb= $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
GUIDelete($rb)
EndSelect
Until $msgrb = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
GUIDelete($rb)

which doesn't make much sense to begin with, you could do

Case $msgrb= $Run
ExitLoop

Case $msgrb= $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
EndSelect
Until $msgrb = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
GUIDelete($rb)

Anyway, having more than one message loop in your app is not a very good decision. See GuiGetMsg() documentation about handling multiple GUIs.

You're right! That solved the problem.

I'll use GuiGetMsg() in the future.

Thanks for your support!
