Activate a GUI from another script Topic is solved

[one1tick]

Hi,
I have a script using a couple of guis and actions are triggered by a hotkey (^Esc) within the scipt :

Code: Select all

gui 1 definition
gui 2 definition
gui x definition
return

^Esc::
code to use my gui based on several things...
......
return

xxx:
return

yyy:
return

Now I would like to call my code from another script... I see 2 options that are not really "clean".
- In the other script I can use Send, ^{Esc} to trigger the first script but I don't think it is the cleanest way...
- I remove the first return below the guis definitions and the ^Esc:: so I can call the first script from my second script when needed. Again I don't like it because each time the script will "rebuild" the guis...

Anyone see a better way to solve this situation ?

Thanks for any idea. Best.

I don't know how you define "clean", but you can include your script with #Include, or use SendLevel and trigger a hotkey routine.

To run another script, you can use Run.

You can use WinActivate to activate a window, including a GUI.

Thanks for your feedback @mikeyww.
I will go for my second option and run the first script from the second with run even if each time I will call the first script it will recreate my guis.

Thanks for your help.
