Close CHild Window

[dickep]

I know this has been asked somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

I want to have a parent window with some selections. Then when the OK button is pressed, a child window will open and basically show a progress label of what is going on. THere should be a button for STOP and when that is pressed, the child window will stop and close. Then the main application should go to a function to complete the exiting "stuff".

I have the code below, but when I press the STOP button it may or may not stop - mostly not.

Can you tell me what I did wrong??

P.S. my code is never very elegant but sometimes I get it to work - properly that is.

Thanks

I think those sleeps in the while 1 loop are making the gui response delay.

Look at this solution, checking the gui at full speed and using timerdiff to update the label

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $mWaitWin)
$Timer = TimerInit()
$TimerDiff = 1001
$b = 1
$c = "Waiting"
While 1
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $Form1)
                GUIDelete($mWaitWin)
                _Cancel()
            Case $mWaitWinButton1
                GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $Form1)
                GUIDelete($mWaitWin)
                _Cancel($B)
        EndSwitch
    If $TimerDiff > 1000 Then
        $Timer = TimerInit()
        $c = $c & "."
        GUICtrlSetData($mWaitWinLabel1, $c)
        $b += 1
        If $b > 15 Then
            $b = 1
            $c = "Waiting"
            GUICtrlSetData($mWaitWinLabel1, "Gathering Data")
            Sleep(500)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    $TimerDiff = TimerDiff($Timer)
WEnd

Thanks.

I used this and the parent window closes properly, but whent I press the STOP button on the child, control does not go back to parent window, even though it opens and looks good.

What am I missing? GUI stuff confuses me.
