about functions

[Kiti]

I know it's a VERY noob question, but how can I exit a function?

Most functions will exit themselves after they are run or after you meet certain conditions so you don't really have to do anything. Exactly what function are you trying to exit?

Check out "Return" in the help file.

I've made a GUI, and tray button which runs the function which has the GUI inside. On the GUI, I want a button to exit that function (of displaying the GUI). GuISetState(@SW_HIDE), indeed hides the GUI, but I can't start it again from the tray, because it's not stopped, but hidden.

I simpy want a GUI that can be closed from the GUI windows itself, and started again from the tray menu.

Edit: SmOke_N, I didn't find any "Return" in the helpfile.

Index tab?

Here? "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\Helpfile" ?

Btw, it should be GREAT if the helpfile would be organized in subfolders like: GUI, WinApi, SQLite, GDIPlus, and so on. Anyone would go directly to what they need, without having to surf through 1.928 files.

Nah.. you are looking at the wrong place for sure.

In SciTE hit F1 or open AutoIt.chm in the AutoIt3 program directory.

Wooow!!!! What a huuuge sorted help!!

Now I'll surely find what I want.

"Like the contents are do you mean?"

What? Sorry, I didn't understood, please reformulate.

Edit: The return is not working. I want to exit a GUI, not to display a variable... Should I provide the script, so you'll better understand what I want to do?

Return does exit a Func.. 100% sure.

So what are you trying here ?
