onEvent not working when button is pushed but exit works

[adamb53]

Hi all,

What I am trying to do at the moment is I have a gui and in the gui is a button, when the button is pressed it should close the gui, I haven't been able to figure out why this isn't working but it does close the gui when the x is pushed or esc so that on event is working, am I missing something?

The following code is where the button and on event is done

expandcollapse popup

;   The GUI Window Is Created Here      ;

; ===================================== ;

; Includes
#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIButton.au3>
#include "Conditionals.au3"

; Enable onEvent Mode
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

; GUI Windows Dimensions
Global $GUIWidth = 600
Global $GUIHeight = 400
Global $newButton

Func mainGUI()
    ; Creates the main GUI window
    $mainGUI = GUICreate("", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight, Default, Default, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU))

    ; Creates the "Left Pane" in the GUI Window
    $leftPane = GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 0, 10, 400, 400)
    newButton()

    ; Creates the "Right Pane" in the GUI Window
    $rightPane = GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 400, 10, 200, 400)

    ; onEvents() has all setOnEvents [ex: For when a button is pushed)
    onEvents()

    ; Show the GUI
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    ; This is so the GUI stays Open
    While 1
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>mainGUI

Func newButton()
    $newButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("New Button", 10, 10, 100, 100)
EndFunc

; All the events to do when an action is performed (button push)
Func onEvents()
    ; Exits when the button is pushed
    GUISetOnEvent($newButton, "OnExit")

    ; Close the GUI when an exit action is performed (Clicking the 'X' or 'Close' Button)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "OnExit")
EndFunc   ;==>onEvents

And this is where the "exit" event is.

;   These are what to do "on event"     ;

EndFunc   ;==>OnExit

Hi,

You are using the GUISetOnEvent function for a control, however this function is only to set an event on the GUI.

Thus you need the GUICtrlSetOnEvent function, don't forget to take a look at the helpfile, it would have avoided this kind of mistake.

Br, FireFox.

I definitely feel like an idiot now as I have done this in the past which is why I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I usually try help files first but I completely forgot about the difference between setting to the gui and to gui ctrl

Thanks for the quick response though
