I copied some code from the help file, about parent/child GUI's.

For some reason though, using almost exactly the same code from the CHM file, when I close GUI2, it will not re-enable GUI1.


Code:
;the  +owner1 and +disable are from the CHM help file

HotString:      ;launched from menu item in main GUI
Gui, 2:+owner1
Gui, 1:+Disabled   ;to prevent user from interacting with main gui
Gui, 2:Add, Text,    x10 y10, Type an abbreviation into field #1, that you would like to turn into a longer phrase.  [ Example:  pls ]`nType what you would like your abbreviation transfroemd to into field #2.  [ Example: Please ]`n"Pls" will now turn into "Please" everytime you type it!

Gui, 2:Add, Text,    x10 y80, 1.) Abbreviation to replace:
Gui, 2:Add, Edit,    yp+18 w120 vShortTerm

Gui, 2:Add, Text,    x10 y130, 2.) Replace abbreviation with:
Gui, 2:Add, Edit,    yp+18 w120 vFullTerm

Gui, 2:Add, Text,   x10 y175, Test it here...
Gui, 2:Add, Edit,    yp+18 w120 r1

Gui, 2:Add, Button, x160 y85 w130 h30 gViewAll, View Existing Strings ;from the file the strings are written to

Gui, 2:Add, Button, x160 y120 w130 h30 gAddNewString, Add this New String  ;to an ahk file, script later reloads main GUI so the hotsrtings will be in effect

Gui, 2:Add, Button, x160 y155 w130 h30 gEdit, Edit/change Existing Strings  ;not implimented yet

Gui, 2:+Resize   ;for testing
Gui, 2:Show, h250 w375, HotString Creation Tool

return


;this is directly from CHM help file
2GuiEscape:
2GuiClose:
Gui, 1:-Disable    ;does not re-enable the main GUI.  It is unclickable, unusable
Gui, Destroy
return




I can't see what I am doing wrong. Killing the GUI2 should return full control to GUI1, but it does not.

Any input? (aside from the typical 'r.t.f.m.' posters :twisted: )

You can't just copy part of a script and expect to it work in your own
if you don't know what it's doing.

If you reread the help on GUI's, you'll find your mistake.
See what I changed in RED

Code:
;this is directly from CHM help file
2GuiEscape:
2GuiClose:
Gui, 1:-Disable    ;does not re-enable the main GUI because in your code you destroyed the main Gui. 
Gui, 2:Destroy
return

Thank you VxE. Sorry to waste your time, and thanks for your eyes. I will update this Monday morning.


I leave my old posts up for searching reasons, but a forum mod can delete this if wanted. Typos aren't all that helpful to others.

Actually, this post and your typo was helpful. I was making the same mistake in leaving the "d" off the end of Disabled.

I'll put up with any number of zombie threads so long as I know a new user searched the forums before posting. :lol:
