GUI set state?

[beato]

Can someone look at the following code and explain what I need to do to make the GUI stay present (properly) until I select Exit. I put in a loop at the end of each Function which does keep the GUI visible (I don't think I did this properly) but it seems to stay stuck on whatever check box was selected=> If I select a check box and then Run, wait for that process to finish and then try to run another check box nothing happens only one action will be performed. I would like to select a check box, select Run (wait for the process to finish) and then select another check box and select Run etc.. I dumbed down some of the code (names, passwords etc) but hopefully the general idea is there

Thanks

You have to keep control over msg loop of main :instead of that

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
;Reads the status of the Checkboxes and sets a variable to either 1 for checked or 4 for not checked
;This HAS to be included before the UNTIL statement
..
$status5 = GUICtrlRead($APP5_CHKBOX)
$status6 = GUICtrlRead($APP6_CHKBOX)
Until $msg = $EXIT Or $msg = $START

    If $msg = $EXIT Then Exit
;Checks the status of the Checkboxes and calls the application function(s) if the checkbox is enabled
If $status1 = 1 Then Call("One_Service_register")
...
If $status6 = 1 Then Call("Three_Service_Unregister")

You should have something like

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMessage()
If GUICtrlRead($APP5_CHKBOX) = $GUI_CHECKED then
   procedure1
Endif
..

If $msg = $EXIT then ExitLoop
Wend

It appears to me the problem is your do loop, seeing it only runs that till start or exit is hit. once start is hit it no longer checks the checkboxes, Maybe change it to a While $msg <> $exit or $msg <> $start. Then at the end of the func's clear $msg. I personally would have built it differently. But what ever floats your boat.

Edit: man I'm too slow.
