Gui Help

[bourny]

I have built a gui to do various tasks and output the results into a listview that is updated by the program. The users never interact with this gui however I found that I can still select things in the listview and if I keep clicking on areas of the Gui or listox the Gui eventually crashes with Dr watson errors.

My theory is Guis are disigned to grab input from the user so I need to find a way to tell the gui to ignore any clicking done on the gui or tell it to do nothing if someone clicks on the GUI.

I would have included my script but I thought I will see if anyone knows why this happens as I will need to strip down the script to provide an example as this script operates using other external scripts.

Many Thanks

Can we see your script, to can fix your problem well?

[bourny]

I have stripped out all my script and added in just the basics of the gui to allow easy troubleshooting.

To get the issue simply double click on the test packages in the list and it will eventually error out. I have to kill the Dr watson processes to get rid of the gui

;Stop 2 occurances of the script running
