I am having problem. I have script that has a main GUI window that allows you to select which kind of encryption you'd like to use. When I go to start the script, for some reason the case statement for the: 

$iSubmit
button for the child GUI runs right away and tried to read the data from the input on the child window, which hasn't been created yet, and then pops up the MsgBox.

 

I have been scouring the forums for something of similar nature, but unsuccessful. I have checked helpfile and it seems I am doing this correct. Here is my script:

; includes
 
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Crypt.au3>
 
; vars
Local $hGUI, $msg = 0, $hInput, $iButton, $hDecode, $dButton
Local $aChkBx[8], $cValue, $iChild, $iMsg, $iPswd, $iMsgBox
Local $iPswdBox, $iSubmit
;main line
 
GUI()
 
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $msg[1]
        Case $hGUI
            Switch $msg[0]
                Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    Quit()
                Case $iButton
                    getCheckbox()
                    inputChild()
                    ;Crypt(, $cValue)
                Case $dButton
                    getCheckbox()
             EndSwitch
        Case $iChild
            Switch $msg[0]
                  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                      GUIDelete($iChild)
                  Case $iSubmit
                      $iMsg = GUICtrlRead($iMsgBox)
                      $iPswd = GUICtrlRead($iPswdBox)
                      MsgBox(0, "title", "msg:" & $iMsg & " paswrd:" & $iPswd)

All you need to do is change your declarations for the child gui and the controls on it.

; vars
Local $hGUI, $msg = 0, $hInput, $iButton, $hDecode, $dButton
Local $aChkBx[8], $cValue, $iChild=9999, $iMsg, $iPswd, $iMsgBox ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Local $iPswdBox, $iSubmit=9999 ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
;main line

Because you haven't created the child GUI yet, the gui handle and all controls will equal zero. In a MessageLoop, GUIGetMsg returns 0 whenever nothing is happening in the GUI, so the child GUI handle will match and the $iSubmit id will match because both are zero. Set them to something that probably won't be a control ID, 9999 in my example above, and this won't happen. When the controls and the GUI are created, the default 9999 will be overwritten.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

@careca Thank you for that solution, as it's something to think about :)

@BrewManNH Thank you, I really wanted to figure out what was going on and not change around the way I poll for events on the GUI. With this solution (tested) it worked :)
