Quit my Gui and function

[MrAnderson]

Hello at all (first of all sorry for my bad english ;-) )

At the moment i want to greate a menu with diffrents function to help me at work. But i have 2 Problem (i post my code below)

You cann see i create a Menu and call this function.  At the moment i try to code my Button3 (Move IFMS).

You have to know, for 3 of 5 Buttons/executable i need a putty conection so i create a function initial_putty (here i have some input options Server, User, Password).

I want to call function this function in every function of the buttons (to inital my putty window)

Well, if i press my Button3 it jumps to my function moveifms (i delete the code from moveifms for a better overview). This function call my putty_inital_putty. Now i have 2 Problems

First problem: You can see i create a OK Button. If my input is done i want press OK Button, save the input in variables and close my Gui and go back to the caller function (move_ifms).

In for examble shell skripts i have the option break; to go back.

Can someone help me out? Is this a bad code idea? How i can save my input and go back to moveifms?

Best Regards

A few things you need to change and add.

Don't declare Globals from within a function, declare them at the start of your script, after the #includes.

You have an illegal ExitLoop command in your inital_putty function ... there is no loop.

In fact, if you want to run a second GUI, you need a While 1 ... Wend loop in that, similar to what you have in your main() gui function.

I would also have the three create input lines before the GUISetState() command.

Personally, even though you are declaring your button create variables (handles) as Local, I would name them unique between the two GUI's.

When you add the While 1 ... Wend code to your inital_putty function, in the Case $button1 statement (OK button), I would add the commands GUIDelete($puttygui) and ExitLoop, so that code flow returns to the main() gui.

Once you do all that, and with a few testing MsgBox (if needed) you will begin to understand what is going on, better.

P.S. Welcome to the forum!
