Closing GUI

[Clay]

How can I close a GUI by my own will...meaning that I have created a button and once that button is pressed

-> I want to run a few processes

-> Then I want the GUI to disappear once the processes under that button have completed

-> Then move on to the rest of my script

I have tried using the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE .. but that didn't work, and I have tried GUISetState(@WS_HIDE), but that didn't work either. I have tried a few other things that gave me no results.

I know that is a simple thing to do but I just can't seem to get what I want so jsut wondering it anyone knows what function I should use.

Help!

Here is some code

expandcollapse popup

Local $PWVD 
Local $Label1
Local $Label2
Local $Products
Local $ProdVerions
Local $Download
Local $AProduct
Local $tmp
Local $getSelect
Global $DResult
Global $DevFile
Global $GuiResults[2]

Dim $fileSplitArray[2]
Dim $FindExe, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt

Func Gui()
$PWVD = GUICreate("PWVD DevCentral Download Interface", 382, 122, 313, 210)
GUISetBkColor(0xD4D0C8)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select a Product ", 32, 16, 110, 17)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select a Version", 232, 16, 99, 17)
$Products = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 32, 40, 121, 25)
$ProdVerions = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 232, 40, 73, 25)
$Download = GUICtrlCreateButton("Download", 136, 80, 97, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$AProduct = getDownload()
    For $i = 0 To Ubound($AProduct)-1
        $tmp &= $AProduct[$i]& "|"
    Next
    $tmp = StringTrimRight($tmp,1)
GUICtrlSetData($Products,$tmp)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Label1
        Case $Products
        Case $ProdVerions
        Case $Download
            $getSelect = GUICtrlRead(($Products))
            $DevFile = fileSplit($getSelect)
        ;$DResult = True 
        ;$GuiResults[0] = $DevFile
        ;$GuiResults[1] = $DResult
            Return $DevFile
        EndSwitch
WEnd
EndFunc

GUIDelete() Or GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)

Edit: Also make sure the GUI is "activated" with GUISwitch.

Momoceres,

Thanks for you help, but GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) or GUIDelete() don't seem to work at all.

[monoceres]

I tested some and I have no problems with GUIDelete, you did pass $PWVD to it?: GUIDelete($PWVD)

I did... placed it under the $Download Button since I want it to be executed under that button ... .but still nothing

Most likely it's never even executed. Try using OnEvent code instead, it's much easier to debug.
