Checkbox GUI error?

[Imppilot]

Ok so standard disclaimer....I normally only use autoit for scripts and I've never gone into this much "coding" so create something "pretty" sooo...newer to GUI part.

I have a function called _ATUGui and it runs great on its own. It lists 3 check boxes and does what I want when check, unchecked and upon exit. However. As soon as I call _ATUGui as a function from another script it breaks. By that I mean it only displays one check box and the rest is just blank.

Same thing happens if I paste the code from the function into the main script so something has to be fighting between the two but I can't figure out what. Posted below is the code.

FUNCTION

CODE

Func _ATUGui()

GUICreate("Pick hotlists", 150, 500) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$psphot = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ("PSP", 50, 10, 100, 100)

$cidhot1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CID", 50, 120, 100, 100)

$scoffhot = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Scoff", 50, 240, 100, 100)

$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Finished", 45, 400)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg1 = GUIGetMsg()

$box1 = GUICtrLRead($psphot)

$box2 = GUICtrlRead($cidhot1)

$box3 = GUICtrlRead($scoffhot)

Select

Case $msg1 = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg1 = $ok

Exitloop

Case $box1 = $GUI_CHECKED

$check1 = _PSP()

Case $box2 = $GUI_CHECKED

$check2 = _CID()

Case $box3 = $GUI_CHECKED

$check3 = _scoff()

EndSelect

Wend

GUIDelete()

Endfunc

What I want the function called from

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <lpr.au3>

#include <atugui.au3>

;Create dialog box that when displayed is centered

$main = GUICreate("LCPD LRP", 325, 100)

;Background image $background = GUICtrlCreatePic ("badge2.bmp", 50, 50)

Opt("GUICoordMode",2)

$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Officer", 10, 30, 100)

$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("PEA", 0, -1)

$Button_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("ATU/Special", 0, -1)

GUISetState () ; will display an dialog box with 3 button

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

Local $msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_1 ;Run PA + CID for Officer

_PSP()

_CID()

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_2 ; Run Scoff Only for PEA

_scoff()

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_3 ; Runs ATU GUI with checkboxs

GUIDelete()

_ATUGui()

Exitloop

EndSelect

Wend

$data = _DataMerge()

Exit

Like all things this week I'm sure is a random symbol I'm missing or something small....i hope....

hello,

maybe there is problem with the include:

shouldn't it look like:

#include "atugui.au3"

just a tip, I think this, becoz' I couldn't find this atugui.au3 at the general includes but i'll try now..

and i see there is other problem too both of the file contains part for:

"GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed"

I think if you include one UDF only the main file has to handle the gui, but maybe I wrong

No...its a UDF, I made is myself....just like the lpr include, which runs perfect.

You have to save the one as atugui.au3 and then include and invoke.

EDIT:

I thought they both had too because if atugui is invoked...it first deleted the first gui so in theory it has to create an entirely new one

[dworld]

well i cannot test your code, because in atGui.au3 are few functions which are declarated in lpr.au3

[Imppilot]

if you can see all three checkboxes when calling atugui from the main code thats the main thing. lpr wont help as those function call things from our server.

[dworld]

yes, i see now, i'll try o guess sg

edit:

well it's very strange, with LxP's FindClassesByText example script you can see the checkboxes on _ATUGui() createted gui..

[dworld]

well I found the solution!

the problem was with

Opt("GUICoordMode",2)

I hope this will solve your problem..

[Imppilot]

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love to know why but not sure I care right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

[dworld]
