$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

[DotJock]

Several versions back of AutoIT3, I was successfully using "$Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE" in a Select loop. With the current version I'm getting the error: "==> Variable used without being declared.:" Any suggestions on a fix? >_

Hi DotJock,

The "$Case" should be "Case".

Try this!

While 1
$msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndSelect
WEnd

Hi Appie,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm getting the same error with script you just provided:

Try this I tested it and it worked!!

You probably forgot the "#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>"

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 100, 100)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test Window", 10, 10)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

Thanks Appie, that did it. Guess I was having another “geriatric moment.” Interesting though, in an older version of AutoIT3, I didn’t need “#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>” to make “Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE” work. Anyway, now I know I do.

Thanks again.

The default includes had a lot of changes in v3.2.12.0. Read more in helpfile by searching for "script breaking changes" and look at the second topic.
