 Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 3:00 pm Post subject: [Help] How do I prevent duplicate Gui's? |
 |
|
Say I have a Menu Tray item that calls a gui window
| Code: |
menu, tray, add, item, opengui
opengui:
gui blabalbala
|
problem here is, if i click "item" that opens the gui window... and without closing that, i click "item" again... ill get some error.
now i can see only two solutions to that
first, opening twice would only send focus to the same gui window
second, i make the tray menu unclickable
if someone can show me how to do those ways, i'd appreciate it, but if there's a better and more efficient method around it, i'd love to know too  thanks[/code] |

| Code: | menu, tray, add, item, opengui
opengui:
If !hGui {
Gui, +LastFound
gui blabalbala
;// the other gui stuff for a new gui
hGui := WinExist()
}else{
WinShow, ahk_id %hGui%
}
;//the rest of your code
;//or whatever else floats your boat

because hGui is defined, it will always go to the bye section.

im still new at this, i assume hGui is just a variable like any other..
and so i suppose the flaw has to do with hGui := WinExist() as when gui is destroyed, that variables remains unchanged....
ill try to figure something out, in the mean time, if anyone can tell me how to handle it, i'd appreciate it |

That is correct.
| Code: | LicensePage:
Gui,1: +LastFound
If !hGui := WinExist()
{
; The gui needs to be created here.
msgbox, hi
}
else
{
WinShow, ahk_id %hGui%
msgbox, bye
}
Gui 1:+LabelLicenseGui
Gui, 1:commandsblablaba ;rest of code |

the basic problem is imho,
that you use a wrong approach to the whole thing.
i suggest two other methods:
1. create the gui only once,
and use Gui, Show and Gui, Submit or Hide
to Show or hide your Gui. (this is the most common way)
2. simply use Gui, Destroy prior to the Gui-creation part of your script. |

thanks for advice with show/hide... although my approach is wrong, ive solved it by using gui +LastFoundExist
but anyway, im a bit lazy to change all that code now, but in future ill be sure to use that hide
thanks all |
