When the parent window have GUICtrlSetTip() for at least one control, then the child window must have it as well, otherwise when we reactivate the app, we can see only the child window.

Reproduction:

Run example bellow, activate some other window (not the desktop), and activate the GUI back (by clicking on the button on tasks panel), you will see only the child window.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("Test Script", 300, 200)
GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 20, 40, 60, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "TipText")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)


GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $GUI)
$Child_GUI = GUICreate("Child", 200, 120, -1, -1, -1, -1, $GUI)
;GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label", -99, -99)
;GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Child TipText")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Child_GUI)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $nMsg[0]
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            If $nMsg[1] = $GUI Then Exit
            
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $GUI)
            GUIDelete($Child_GUI)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

If you uncomment two lines in the code, this "effect" is gone...

Tested with AutoIt v3.2.8.1/3.2.10.0.

Thanks.

add UDFs section for 3.2.10 version:

In many UDF were changed/renamed many functions - for details see headers of affected include files

for example: GuiListView.au3 ; / ;_GUICtrlListViewGetCurSel ; --> _GUICtrlListView_GetNextItem ;_GUICtrlListViewGetExtendedListViewStyle ; --> _GUICtrlListView_GetExtendedListViewStyle ; ...

Hi! I thought maybe a Try...Catch feature would be cool to have for AutoIt.
