problem with animated child window

[sandin]

this is my script:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Gui = GUICreate("Form1", 350, 450)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 20, 30, 150, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui)
$ChildGui = GuiCreate("pop up", 200, 300, 100, 80, -1, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $Gui)
$button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("close", 20, 150, 60, 40)
GUISetBkColor ( 0xFF0000)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ChildGui)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $Button1
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $ChildGui, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040004)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ChildGui)
        case $button2
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $ChildGui, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050008)
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $ChildGui)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

when u pop up a child window, and click "close" button in it, it'll lave it's lines. Why is that? can it be avoided?

Try adding $WS_EX_LAYERED style to your parent GUI. And it might not hurt to throw in $WS_CLIPCHILDREN too.

$Gui = GUICreate("Form1", 350, 450,-1,-1,$WS_CLIPCHILDREN,$WS_EX_LAYERED)

Ty for the link, so it seems that the pop up/down function should not be related to the "while" part, or.. I'm missing something? =( sry, but I'm not so much of an advanced autoit user, I still find that script confusing. =)

I tried, it's still the same. =(

fair enuf i dont know why it does that take a look at the styles in the autoit help file or code the closing yourself e.g. make the height less and less every while loop and when it eventually gets small enuf kill the window or delete it with the gui delete function.

I already made that with winmove(), and locking child's controls locked by bottom line of the window, but I disliked it, cuz sliding is not smooth like using "user32.dll" animate window function.

Sorry to break this to you but try moving the parent window. The problem reappears.
