Custom Query

This was brought up by PianoMan as a bug (​http://svn.autoitscript.com/trac/ticket/97) do to my post in the forum (​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63384), but it was not resolved do to, I suspect, how he explained it and his example.

WinMenuSelectItem does not work on hidden windows but the help file says that it does. PianoMan, made a workaround, which is cool, but isn't really any help because it requires both GUIs to initially show, which isn't practical.....for me at least.

Here is my example of what I am experiencing, and what I believe would be a more realistic/common encounter of the problem.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "HOTKEY")

$GUI1 = GUICreate("My GUI 1",300,200)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Now the msgbox wont show with the hotkey or button",20,120)
    $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Page 1", 40, 40)
    $ButtonMenu1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Menu Test", 40, 70)
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE)


$GUI2 = GUICreate("My GUI 2",300,200)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("MAIN PAGE",20,20)
    $filemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("File")
    $fileitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("TEST",$filemenu)
    $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Page 2", 40, 40) 
	$ButtonMenu2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Menu Test", 40, 70)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    Select
        Case $msg = $Button1
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI1)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI2)

        Case $msg = $Button2
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI2)
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI1)
           
        Case $msg = $fileitem
            MsgBox(0,1,"Menu Clicked")
           
        Case $msg = $ButtonMenu1 Or $msg = $ButtonMenu2
            WinMenuSelectItem("My GUI 2", "MAIN PAGE", "File", "TEST")
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func HOTKEY()
    WinMenuSelectItem("My GUI 2", "MAIN PAGE", "File", "TEST");I've tried both the window handle and title
EndFunc

It would appear that Obfuscator when run with the /striponly parameter is being a little to agresive in what it strips. In the example below it is stripping out GUICreate() and GUICtrlCreateLabel()
