Sticky Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 How would I be able to hide the GUI instead of closing it when the user hits the X to close the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2009 Sticky,You need to tell Autoit that you want the "$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE" event to hide, rather than close, the GUI.How you do this depends on which GUI mode you use in your script (if you are unsure about the difference between the modes read the Help file under "GUI Reference"):OnEvent Mode: GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")MessageLoop Mode: If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then CLOSEClicked()You then need a function CLOSEClicked() which tells your GUI to hide (details in the Help file under "GUISetState" as you would expect!):Func CLOSEClicked()GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $hMy_Gui)EndFuncI hope that helps.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Thank you! I looked into that and noticed why my program was still closing, the loop that polled the GUI state started with: While $msg <> GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ....stupid me, lol So I just changed it to While 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
