Windows in modal mode!

[empardopo]

Programming by VB I can open a window in modal mode. Is this possible make it with Autohotkey?

I want to do something like this



I have a main window that contains my main menu.
When I select a game or the settings its corresponding windows must open but the main window must be closed.That is, only a window can be opened at the same time.
Any example in this forum?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is. Is it possible to do with Autohotkey?
Or if I select an option, the selected option opens a new window and the main window closes.

Thanks

If you are talking about GUI windows then have a look at Gui, +owner and Gui, hide.

Do you know any example to take a look?
Thanks

Here's a crude example. Notice that Backplate is set to alwaysontop but the other windows show above it. Window1 hides when Window2 is launched and Winwaitclose pauses the thread until Window2 is hidden. If you want Window1 to be visible at the same time as Window2 then I think you will need to have routines to disable (and later enable) the controls using GuiControl. I don't know about MDI. You could look at GUI +Parent but I managed to crash AHK when I tried that. Hope this helps:
