my ahk script launches 2 gui's separately.
How do I destroy one of them without destroying the other?
I read the help file but I still have some questions as I couldnt find examples of usage.

so for instance,

^3::gui, show, volume
^4::gui, show, image

suppose both were activated (3, followed by 4) via their hotkeys and are on the screen.

Now, suppose I want ^5 to close 'image' but not 'volume'. Image was invoked second, volume was invoked first.

How do I specify that?

Do I say:
^5::gui +lastfound destroy

or "gui 2:destroy"?

or something else?

I also looked into giving each gui its own label....

help file says "for each gui other than the first, the window's number is used as a prefix for the label..." -- but what is the window's number? the order in which they were created? Is that always reliably knowable in a complex script with mulitple gui's? Is there a way to tell? Is it better to make a custom label? (and if so, again the help file wasnt very helpful, since it only mentions that the custom label becomes the new prefix for the special labels -- of which 'destroy' doesnt seem to be one).

Sorry for the nooby question, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

As you make a script that uses 2 GUI:s

Example:
first gui
Code:
Gui, add, button, x(number) y(number) w(number) h(number) gMYSUB, OK
Gui, Show, w(number) h(number), gui 1 name


Second gui
Code:
Gui 2:add, button, x(number) y(number) w(number) h(number) gMYSUB, OK
Gui 2:Show, w(number) h(number), gui 2 name


You can destroy the second gui showing ok button by
Code:
Gui 2:Destroy



And yes you can add a hotkey for that

I don't know if you quite asked for this but this is some sort of answer!
