Close GUI Form1

[1bobby]

Not sure if this can be done at least I have not found it yet, but it is running on several of my scripts and I would like to remove it!

Once information has been entered into a GUI (Form1) and you get out of the loop, is there anyway to close or remove the Form1 window from the screen while the data is validated.. Then if the input data is bad, re-open the screen as a do over with the original Form1 window displaying the data that was input by the user so they can change/correct it??

Seems like I run the whole script with the original Form1 screen in back of the running Windows

Thanks bobby

[Swift]

You mean: GUIDelete($Form1)

Or To Hide: GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form1)

Or To Show: GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Form1)

Hope that helps!

When I try the three suggestions, although seems like they should work anywhere out of the loop, I get

"C:\Documents and Settings\bobbyb\Desktop\EOC\EOC Menu.au3(58,31) : ERROR: $Form1_1: undeclared global variable."

I did put them in the first function after the loop thinking I wouldn't need it anymore. Maybe I am just not using them in the correct location?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$MyGUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 294, 70, 193, 159)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter ""autoit"" in input box located down!", 7, 10, 205, 17)
$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 8, 35, 186, 21)
$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("ok", 202, 36, 75, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $ok
            GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE, $MyGUI) ;Hides the window while data is processed
            Sleep(500) ;We want to get impression as something is doing, right? ;)
            If GuiCtrlRead($input) <> "autoit" Then
                GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW, $MyGUI) ;Show GUI again if user didn't enter AutoIt
            Else
                MsgBox(0, "", "Waay to goooo! You did it!")
                Exit
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd
