[solved] GuiCtrlCreate... with 2 GUIs

[cramaboule]

Hello all,

Here, a script test:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$gui1=GUICreate("test" )
$button=GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 10, 10)
GUISetState()
$gui2=GUICreate("test2", 50,50,50,50 )
GUISetState()
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
  Case $button
   GUICtrlCreateLabel ("test", 10,20)
EndSwitch
WEnd

How can I make the GUICtrlCreateLabel() on the first GUI ($gui1) ? ... and no... In my original script I cannot create the label before.

I took just the exemple of a 'Label' but of course I need some other 'GuiCtrlCreate...' to be created in my original script.

I've found it:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$gui1=GUICreate("test" )
$button=GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 10, 10)
GUISetState()
$gui2=GUICreate("test2", 50,50,50,50 )
GUISetState()
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
  Case $button
   GUISetState ( @SW_SHOW ,$gui1 )
   GUICtrlCreateLabel ("test", 10,40)
EndSwitch
WEnd

just put:

GUISetState ( @SW_SHOW ,$gui1 )

before your GUICtrlCreate...

Simple as that....

You may want to have a look at this article if your using multiple Gui's. It will save you a lot of headaches which I had till I found the article.

You could also create your label but make it blank, and then use GUICtrlSetData with the label's handle to change what it says when needed. No need for switching between GUIs before having the label show up.

Acutally you want GUISwitch(), not GUISetState().

Thanks @all,

@WhiteStar: I went there but didn't find what I wanted !!!

@BrewManNH: As I said In my original loop I cannot create them before!!!

@AdmiralAlkex: That's THE ONE: GUISwitch()

Thanks !!!

Why can't you create them before and just make them blank? Maybe I'm not understanding what you're doing.

well,..... it is long to explain, but to be short,

I am opening different files.

The content of those files is changing all the time.

So, I am creating my labels, inputs, edits, and so on, depending of the file I opened...

that's why !!! but GuiSwitch() works fine ! just tested !
