Can't get a button to work...

[multiloser]

Hey guys, so below what I have is a code that I'm trying to put together to make a cool little application, but I can't seem to get a button to work.

Essentially what the program does is plot a graph with three points, and then when I press a button, I want it to plot another point.

You will see below in the coding that the button is named "$Red." The "If $msg = $Red Then" has a MsgBox after it, so if it successfully satisfies $msg=$red, a msgbox will appear. This isnt happening for me, though. I tried various things, and I'm not sure what I should do now. Can anyone shed some light on my dilemna? Sorry for the messy code.

If you need help understanding anything, please ask.

func close()

Exit

EndFunc

;...

Do

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

If $msg = $red Then

MsgBox (0, "2", "2")

; ...

Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

You can't mix GuiOnEventMode and a GuiGetMsg() loop. Pick one or the other.

Sweet, that was the issue. Thanks a bunch!
