$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE does not work

[Chorda]

Hi,

I'm trying to close a window using the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, but it does not close. Here is my code:

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Hello World", 200, 100)

Opt("GUIEventOptions",1)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

;HotKeySet('{esc}', 'CLOSEClicked') ;Press the Esc key to exit out

Opt("GUICloseOnESC",1)

Sleep(2000)

Func CLOSEClicked()

Exit

EndFunc

Further, when I use Opt("GUICloseOnESC",1) it does not close, but when I use HotKeySet('{esc}', 'CLOSEClicked') , then it closes.

So it seems to me that the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE does not do its job.

Any idea?

Thanks

There's not a problem with the windows message,there's a problem with your code. There was a topic earlier today that I helped with that had the same problem. In fact it's ~11 topics down from this one at the time of my post.

Not really a solution for his problem ...

The problem in your script is that you don't have Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1) - that confuses the GUI and that's the reason it doesn't work.

This works perfect:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Hello World", 200, 100)
Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)     ;changed your line with this
;you can add Opt("GUIEventOptions",1) if you need it and it willl work
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
;HotKeySet('{esc}', 'CLOSEClicked') ;Press the Esc key to exit out
Opt("GUICloseOnESC",1)
Sleep(2000)

Func CLOSEClicked()
Exit
EndFunc

Yes, that solved it. Thanks a lot enaiman.
