How can I run more than one GUI at a time?

[Zachlr]

I know this is a dumb question, but how can I run more than one GUI at one time, since GUIGetMsg() cannot capture events from a specific GUI. What I mean is, if there are two GUIs open, GUIGetMsg() cannot distinguish which GUI sent $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, or what have you. I am working on a somewhat large program, which will need too have more than one GUI open at times. Currently, when the main GUI is closed, instead of exiting, the program will hide the window. The problem is, I don't know how to tell the script to only do that for the main GUI, and GUIDelete() for the other windows. I am running a Msg Loop script if it makes a difference, but I can convert to OnEvent if I have to. I have divided my script into smaller scripts, each one has a GUI. I was going to #include them but I just realized that the script will get stuck in the first Msg Loop, so I'll probably put them all in one Msg Loop, or make them OnEvent. But if I put them all in one script in a Msg Loop then the GUIGetMsg() won't be able to distinguish between the GUIs which is the whole point of this post. /ramble.

$SomeGUI = GUICreate("Some GUI", "Some Parameters")
$SomeOtherGUI = GUICreate("Some other GUI", "Some Parameters")

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
MsgBox(0, "", "Hmm...  I'm not sure which GUI closed, so I don't know what to do.")
EndSwitch
Wend

Perhaps I could use an If not WinExists("Some GUI", "") thing, but it seems like there should be a better way.

Look in the help for GuiGetMsg and using the advanced parameter. Then you can see which Gui sent the message.

Well that was an obvious one, heh heh. I never looked at it in the help file, in fact I didn't know it even had a parameter. Thanks
