GUI help needed again D:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Func third()
    GUICreate("test",800,500)
    $A3value = GUICtrlCreateInput("",10,50,30,30)
    $B3value = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 70, 50, 30, 30)
    $C3value = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 130, 50, 30, 30)
    $D3value = GUICtrlCreateInput('', 190, 50, 30, 30)
    $ok3button = GUICtrlCreateButton("ok", 20, 200)
    $negative3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 130, 40, 22)
    $posistive3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 210, 130, 40, 22)
    $exit3button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 40, 200)
    GUISetState()
EndFunc
GUICreate("test",800,500)
$2Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("something", 700, 40)
$3Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("else", 700, 70)
GUISetState()
Do
    $msg = GUIgetmsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $3Button
        Call ("third")
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        Exit
    EndSelect
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

So my GUI will create a child GUI when I click the button "else". How do I write so that if I exit the child GUI, I will still have the main GUI? Thanks

Use GUIgetmsg(1)

There are examples for that in HelpFile and on the forum.

There is at least two ways of doing this. I went with show / hide of the second GUI, instead of GUIDelete (). And used Zedna's suggestion of using GUIGetMsg(1).

I trust you can change it to suite your own needs.
