Child Window

[closeupman]

I've included a code snippet...I tried to delete what's extraneous to the problem.

My back button doesn't close the child window.

I know the CleanUpChild is called. I tested it with a message box. But for some reason the WinClose doesnt work (I tried WinKill too). I also tried it with the "" parameter and didn't work either.

I can post the full code if you need it to help.

Thanks

Hi,

Try to change the line:

GuiSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "SpecialEvents")

into:

GuiSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CleanUpChild")

Regards,

-Sven

EDIT:

Just a question about your line: GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "CleanUpChild")

I couldn't find the GUI_EVENT -1 in the GUIConstants.au3. What function does it have?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think that defaults it to the last control, that's what the example had in the help file

What exactly are you doing here? You asked me to help but that snippet is missing alot and I can't figure out the big picture.

In addition, it's alot easier for script writing just to do a:

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

EndSelect

WEnd

Some time ago I put a GUI template and a child GUI example in a file.
